How Can You Fix - Attempt to upgrade from Internet Explorer(IE)6 to IE-8 and it fails to install.?

Attempt to upgrade from Internet Explorer(IE)6 to IE-8 and it fails to install.

I have a Dell Dimenion computer running Windows XP with SP3 installed.  The install program proceeds through (1) Downloading [done](2) Check for Malicious software [done](3) Install IE-8 [Fails] (4) Install updates [Never gets to] (5) Finish Setup [never
gets to].  And by the way I have had problems with Adobe Flash Player where it will not load either.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks, James

Upgrading in hopes of fixing an existing problem is seldom a wise idea.

Uninstall Flash Player, reboot & try installing IE8 again:

My personal recommendations for WinXP include:
=> Install IE8 manually, not via Windows Update/Automatic Updates!! =>
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/worldwide-sites.aspx
TIP: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.  When you're prepared to install IE8, double-click on the saved file.
=> Uninstall all third-party toolbars (e.g., Google; Yahoo; Windows Live) and third-party Windows Themes before installing IE8.
=> Close all open applications (i.e., anything with a taskbar icon) before installing or uninstalling IE8.
=> I would strongly recommend disabling your anti-virus application and any anti-spyware application's "system protections" (other than Defender's) before installing (or uninstalling) an IE upgrade.  If you're running a third-party firewall, I would recommend
disabling it and then enabling the Windows Firewall before installing (or uninstalling) an IE upgrade.
=> Reboot twice after installing or uninstalling IE8, then go to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com | Select CUSTOM and scan | Install any Critical Security Updates offered (i.e., KB972260).  If a Root Certificates update is listed in the Optional Updates category, install it to take full advantage of IE's enhanced security.
=> For best chance of success with IE8, make certain that your anti-virus application version, any anti-spyware applications (other than Defender), and your third-party firewall (if any) are supported in IE8  before you decide install it.
