Flash Player - can't uprade/install in XP

Hi

I'm trying to open a video on You Tube and I get this error message: 'Hello,
you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash
Player'. So then I try to download and install the latest Adobe Flash Player
and it never installs. Is this something to do with Windows XP?
