Update your adobe reader instead, whatever was in the update for the reader worked as I had the same as you mate with the player, worked straight after.

Try checking out this link

Flash not installing correctly on Vista has been a problem for years, but the link above will help you fix it.

When you go to the link above, make sure you first follow their link for the Flash Player uninstaller.

You've more than likely got a corrupt install so remove it and follow their steps to re-install.

Did you try and download the installer, save it to your desktop and then run it rather than trying to install it via IE?

Download Little Registry Cleaner 1.4 - The first registry cleaning tool that is available as open source - Softpedia

Only thing I can suggest is to use Firefox and see if that works
