Why do I keep getting an X?

[NotSatisfiedAtAll]

Okay, so I apparently have an outdated version of flash, like 10.6 or something, and I try to install the newest version. I save the file, click run, click yes, and some adobe pop up comes up and it just says "Initializing," then "Retrieving Install..." and finally it says something like "Install Yes or No" and I say yes and it says "Adobe Flash Player 11" and the meter's at 0%, and the little logo is a white square with a red X in it. After a few seconds, it says it failed. Why does it pester me with updates, but never lets me install them? It is getting very, very annoying.
