I believe this is related to the work that Jeremy W.
and co. are working on.  That is, they are working on
getting the installer fully functional.  I had a
similar issue installing Flash MX as it needed
stdole32.tlb, but after December's release, I could
not use a native version.

So, the best thing to do is to hang in there and wait
for that installer to get done.
