Try restarting Windows, then install SubInACL again.
If the error persists, try http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

Well, reinstalling Windows is a bit drastic! Have you tried the Microsoft Fixit that I posted?

It is actually quite rare, and in most (but not all!) cases SubInACL will fix the registry permission problems. However, since you are unable to install SubInACL, I have no other ideas how to proceed.

If you went through all the steps in the permissions FAQ, then I have no other ideas. A Windows repair install may fix the problem, but I'm not even sure about that.

Just to add some additional misery to this thread. I have this exact same issue. Windows 7.
The issue started several weeks ago, when a flash update failed to install. Everything seemed fine other than every reboot, this flash update would fail (and in fact would "hang"), but flash itself continued to work.
Yesterday, it stopped completely. It said flash wasn't installed. I've tried:
1. Completely uninstalling flash (it is not in Add/remove programs) but using the techniques and videos offered by Adobe to remove the files, using their uninstaller, etc.
2. Perform the fix as outlined in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 which including installing SubACL, the batch file, etc. The batch file ran successfully, but did not solve the problem.
3. I've tried Windows System restore, but it doesn't seem to go back far enough.
4. I've tried the fixit identifed above in this thread and while it solves certain problems, still doesn't solve my issue.
5. I've tried installing using the stand alone EXE and MSI from Adobe.
6. I've tried the 11.9 beta.
None of these have worked and all result in the "failed to register" error. I'm currently using the flash built into Google Chrome as I needed to have some working flash component.
Anyone else have any ideas whatsoever short of a Windows reinstallation?

The flash player(14.0.0.125) has been installed successfully without any error. but Flash Player for IE8 dos'nt install and says : The Activex Control for Flash Player Could not be registered!
it is amazing that none of the profassionals in Adobe Co. can't help to solve this problem!

It's a permission problem on your computer; not much that Adobe can do about it.
But try using the MSI installer; it seems to require less permissions than the EXE: http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_14_active_...
