Error message: The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player.

The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player.

Your user account IS an Administrator, correct?

Error: The Installer is damaged.

The Installar can't open the package. There may be a problem with file ownership or permissions.

Okay, that keeps coming back to user account problems.

Have you repaired permissions?

Have you tried installing under another user account? (You'd need to creat ea new admin account to test it)
