When I was having problems getting Flash installed I also had to manually delete the OCX file I referenced earlier. For some reason even after using the uninstaller it wouldn't fully uninstall, and I couldn't get the new version to install correctly until I removed the OCX file. That might be worth trying too (though it's probably better to move it somewhere as a backup at first instead of just deleting it).
