Hi

Flash Player may fail to install if the Windows system registry is damaged or if you do not have the correct permissions. Please use the following technote to help identify if this is the issue encountered.

Yes I recommend in clearing all of the files history, cache etc

This is a far-shot, but there might be some kind of memory conflict.

Try clearing the cache, deleting the setup file, restarting in safe mode with networking, and try installing there (with all other programs stopped).

Just an idea.

You should first make sure that your logged onto the administrators account on your computer. They will have access to updating and downloading and you shouldnt have problems with permission. If permission is needed and you need to give a password, ask whoever owns the administrator account for the password for it.

You could try uninstalling your current flash player then reinstall flash player 8+ onto your computer and try it again.
