Starting with Windows Vista, IE7 will run in Protected Mode (unless User Account Control is disabled) so the browser will run in a sandbox with very low rights. It prevents exactly what you're trying to do. You can override it only if you have full control of the target systems (i.e. using policies) but in this case you don't have to use this "trojan horse" method to deploy Flash...
