Installing Flash Player - Windows Vista Home Premium - stalled at 50%

Question

I would like to get help as I have been trying to install Adobe Flash Player for months, each time a video I select requires it and

the system takes me to the prompts to install, it gets 50% installed and then it says it can't continue because Internet Explorer is open.

Therre are no windows opened, and I have the recommended Scripting enabled in Internet Options (troubleshooting tip) but

I still can't get past this point and its frustrating.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save target as"(IE) or "Save link as"(other browsers).

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Save the file(s) to your downloads folder.

Reboot.

Before running anything else, open the downloads folder and run the installer(s).
