"Application already installed"

[venatos]

I've been trying for days now to install version eleven. When I run the offline installer it completes and then informs me that the program could not install because some application that uses adobe is already running. This has happened ever after I've uninstalled Adobe, restarted, and checked to make sure it's uninstalled. I'm tearing my hair out here. Help!

I'm running on Windows XP, by the way.

Make sure than no messenger applications run when trying to install Flash Player.  Check with the task Manager's Processes tab.
