Usually Flash is downloaded as an online install.

The problem is that Vista and IE7 has the painful security "features". This could be the problem, so without Vista in front of me (I use XP - still not happy with Vista)

I would suggest that you look at security policies to enable you to run the Flash install. The other issue may be that Flash Player may not yet have 64 bit addressing (last time I checked), which, if you are running a 64 bit machine may also cause a problem.
