I have tried several times installing several times. I followed the instructions in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html#main_uninstall.
I ran the the un-install package in uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg
I disabled the Firewall and I have no real-time anti-virus enabled. The only anti-virus software I have installed is ClamXav.
The installer paackage is the latest version from adobe that I downloaded AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_11_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg
So I decided to run the script from Terminal as root to see if I get any errors message in the console. Here is my steps:
~ $sudo su -

mac01-2:MacOS root# ./Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player
mac01-2:MacOS root# logout
It ran to completion without any problems, except that when I went to Firefox and Safari and opened http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html the box was blank on both browsers.
I decided to run the script again but this time not as root in terminal. This time it failed and I got error messages in the console. Here are my steps and errors:

Any suggestions on why the 'launch path not accessible'?
