with the installation with IE open because it needs to install a piece of code into IE.
The window you see, the one with the progress bar, is NOT happening in IE, it's just a window that shows in front of IE, which makes it look like part of IE.
The Flash Player Installer is completely separate from IE.
Just go to the top right corner of the IE window and hit the white X inside the Red box and IE will close and the Flash Player installer will continue.

My adobe flash player needs to update. it gets to 50 percent then tells me to close internet explorer. IE doesn't give me the choice of closing. it will let me delete it, but that seems like a bad idea. I must be missing something ez. please tell me in grandma terms how to do this. thank you.
