Install request using on Vista/SP2 with IE9 becomes modal reboot needed

Question

I am using the following to keep the install process local
<script>
// check if current JRE version is greater than 1.6.0
alert("versioncheck " + deployJava.versionCheck('1.6.0_10+'));
if (deployJava.versionCheck('1.6.0_10+') == false) {                  
userInput = confirm("You need the latest Java(TM) Runtime Environment. Would you like to update now?");
if (userInput == true) { 
// Set deployJava.returnPage to make sure user comes back to
// your web site after installing the JRE
deployJava.returnPage = location.href;
// install latest JRE or redirect user to another page to get JRE from.
deployJava.installLatestJRE();
</script>
When the Jre is not present, an install is agreed to and a dialog appears saying that
1.7_01 estimate to download is zero, and the browser hangs, I cannot close the window
other aspects of the system are working. I cannot move the browser window. I have waited
over ten minutes. It fails each time as an admin user.
Windows Vista SP2 x86
IE9 9.08.8112.16421
Has anyone else seen this before I file a bug?

Can you retry the installation (user interface version), dismiss error and send me the AIR Install.log? ([email protected])
Located: C:\User\"your_user_name"\ApData\Local\Adobe\AIR\logs.
Down load current AIR version here:  http://get.adobe.com/air/
Regarding uninstall, did you see dialog similar to this?
What was preventing you from  unnstalling AIR?
This dialog usually displays all the AIR apps installed on your system.
You should still be able to remove AIR runtime and re-install.
Regarding cmdline install:
Can you run a silent install from cmd line (Run as Administrator) with 2.0.3 version of AIR?
AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -silent
