I can't install latest flash player

[raltron]

I'm using Win 7 and after download of player and installation begins, I am told I haven't sufficient privileges.  I have admin priveleges on this machine, and a password.  I read that regardless of my permissions I can right click on the file and click "run as administrator' but this doesn't work either.  HELP !!!!  Ralph Trondle

Use the offline installer http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_hea... and do the 'Run as Administrator'.

If you still get a problem, give use the exact message you're getting (or a screenshot of it).

After I contacted the forum, I left the PC  and when I came back the next day,  the flash player was working.  I can't explain it.  Although I had admin privileges on my machine every attempt to run the downloaded player file resulted in  - installation failed because "user does not have sufficient privileges to install Flash player".  I'm really confused.
