Why won't Adobe Flash Player download completely onto my new OS X 10.8.3?

I downloaded the installation app from the Adobe website, and went through the process of choosing how to receive updates and the like. But when the installation itself begins, it gets up to 7% then stops. It stays there for a while, then quits randomly, and there's no error message. I've tried it a couple times, and have downloaded the app from the website a couple times too. I don't understand why it won't work on my new computer.

I have an OS X 10.8.3

Processor: 2.9 GHz 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Core i7

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

System Preferences > Security

Select App store & identified developers

2. System Preferences > Flash > Advanced > Delete All

3. Install Adobe Flash Player.
