TaxCut 2005 Installation Error (mmvdpro.swf)

I ran into an error trying to install TaxCut 2005 today.  It would always stop at 21% on a file called “mmvdpro.swf.“
I was able to get past it by restarting my computer in Safe Mode (hit F8 during the boot up) and then installing from the CD as normal.  Reboot back into normal mode and it should run fine.  I had the Deluxe + State version and installed the CT state program in safe mode at the same time.

I googled a lot of people who had this error, but no solution including the TaxCut website (unexcusable).  Hopefully, someone will google this post and save a little time or a trip back to the store.  I've used TaxCut for several years and have had pretty good luck, but to not even acknowledge an error on software this important is a bit unprofessional, IMHO.
