I would create a new user and try to install it there. As applications and OS/Software Updates are installed system wide, it will install to al users on the system. To create a new user follow these instructions:


Click 

Click "System Preferences"

Click "Users & Groups"

Click the padlock int he bottom left corner and enter you password to unlock it

Click on the "+"

Change the user from "Standard" to "Administrator"

Ensure this user does not have the same name as another user on the computer as the OS will not allow this, try using "Test" as username and password

Turn off Automatic Login if it is on

Log into the test user

Attempt to install OS X Mavericks 10.9 from the App Store.app
