My best guess is that you have a problem with your account. Try creating a new administrative user and log in as that user, then try the install. Also, some external storage devices can cause this problem. If you have this problem after you create the new user and log in as that user, then log out and remove all external storage devices and log in again as the new user. It will not be sufficient simply to authenticate as said user from your preexisting account.
