Cannot install Flash Player

I hope this is what you need. Had to do this in sections, hope you can make heads or tails from it. The lat section is pretty much a repeat of the section before it, I couldn't find a way to edit it down to the last 10 or so lines.

Done all you suggested. Same results "user does not have permissions to install ....etc" I don't understand what is happening. I have never had any trouble prior to this. The last update I recall was for Flash Player 11. It installed automatically which is what I had set. Got me stumped! Any othe ideas and/or suggestions are appreciated.

Okay...I have gone thru my PC and removed all flash player folders etc. I could find. Shredded the files using IO Bit Gutman DOD 5220 method. rebooted, went to Adobe for clean install, downloaded but install continues to stop with "user doesn't have permissions to install" I removed from both an explorer window and from start-up menu. Also removed Macromedia files, %appdata% files, system 32 files. but nothing seems to help the problem. I am totally at a loss as to what the problem might be. The only thing I haven't tried so far is shutting down all firewall, anti-virus, malware apps and try again. Something is causing this...finding what may be a challenge.

Pat:  Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have spent several hours with this problem and my frustration levels have grown considerably and I had to give it a rest for a while. I have 6 files concerning Flash Player: (1.) Flash Install (text doc.) which is the same as the doc. already posted. The others are;

(2.) Flash; (3.) FlashPlayerPlugin_15_0_0_189; (4.) FlashPlayerUpdateService;(5.) FlashUtil32_15_0_0_189_Plugin;(6.) NPSWF32_15_0_0_189.dll

1 thru 5 are all applications and 6 is an application extension. My most recent attempt at installing did provide a bit of info stating "A required file @ C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\FlashPlayer.xpt.5 could not be written due to insufficient permissions. This appears to be where the problem lies. I just do not understand why. I did go into the registry and checked all Adobe applications and the permissions on them are FULL. The only account on my PC is the administrator account. I have tried opening Firefox as administrator (no luck ), I have opened the install file as "run as administrator" (no luck). If possible I can run MS Problem Recorder to document all I have done\am doing if the results can be posted here.

I was beginning to get the idea that there was some sort of bug in the instal files. Should I contact someone at Adobe Support or what?

I think I have solved the problem. (At least I hope so!) I pulled up all the Flah Player files in Explorer but could not delete or shred them as I kept getting "....in use" error. I could not think of anything that could be using it so I went to msconfig and booted in diagnostic mode. Had to switch to Safe Mode as I could not get internet access in diagnostic mode. Deleted all Flash Player files and dug a little deeper and found some Flash Player 11 files so I deleted (shredded) ALL the Flash Player files, tried to install in Chrome but the installer stalled out. Tried again in Firefox and seem to have had success. FINALLY!!! Of course everything is a trade off as now I am having scripting problems so I guess I will have something new to keep me busy for a few days! LOL.  It appears that the xpt file is associated with Firefox and may contain SAS data. Anyway I want to thank you guys for your time and trouble with this. I still am not sure where or what the problem was but it appears that there was some sort of conflict with the older 11 version as once it was gone it installed with no problem. here is the install file you wanted. Thanks again! =O====== M/15.0.0.223 2014-11-11+16-51-47.851 ========
