Flash player will not install

[MAzerrad]

I successfully download the installer for Flash 13.  Yes, my computer meets all the requirements.

I am running Mavericks.  I suspect that is the problem but am willing to be shown otherwise.
I click on the icon in my download queue.

The Install Flash Player box appears.

I double-click on the icon and begin the installation process.

The blue bar loads.

And then I get a completely black box with "Adobe Flash Player Installer" at the top.

When I close the box, I get sent to a webpage that says:

Adobe Flash Player could not be installed.

You can troubleshoot your installation with the following resources:

• Troubleshooting Macintosh Installation
• Flash Player Help and Support

And it asks me to start over.

I do, and the same thing happens all over again.

I have tried all the troubleshooting processes.   They don't work.  I uninstalled the old Flash Player.  And now I have no Flash Player on my computer.  Which makes it impossible to do my job.  This is very frustrating.

What is wrong?  How do I install Flash Player?

Yo want to avoid trying to install 13 for a week or two anyway.

Stick to 12.0.0.77 (Flash Player 12.0.0.77) till they get the kinks worked out of 13.
