I don't have a solution to your problem, just wanted to make sure you 
know that there are plenty of other chat programs you can run which work 
  on the yahoo network, for example gaim (<-open source, cross platform, 
cross network).

If you want to pursue the route your on, try installing the windows 
Flash player before you run the Messenger installer.
