Inspiron E1505 Bios (MM061) update problem

I am logged in as Administrator in Vista, and I have downloaded the MM061 file.  When I run it I get the following:
 
An unexpected error occurred while running the Flash application ,Please reboot and try again
If the error continues,please contact technical help/
Application Error Return 0x00000610
Windows Error Return 0x00000002
 
Any thoughts on why this is happening?
 
Thank you,
 
Michael

    Yes I am running this from within Windows Vista.  Bob, one of the Dell moderators said to download it, run it and follow instructions.
     
    In reading some of the posts, it looks as though a bootable CD or USB must be used.  I am surprised that Dell didn't include any instructions at all for how to go about that.  I have not done that before, but I should be able to figure it out.  I'll check back in case there are any other steps I should take.
     
    Thanks for responding.  I appreciate it.
     
    Regards,

    I prefer to boot from a USB Key because it is easier to set up and run.
     
    Instructions can be found here:
    Create the bootable flash USB drive and then copy the flash file to it.  Boot from the flash drive and then run the program.
     
    The instructions on how to create a bootable Flash CD can be found here:

    This solution came from another post and has worked for me and others in situations like this. Be careful with Regedit as you can mess up other things, but you're trying to get rid of some Dell BIOS update keys that were created by running the flash program once, but now prevent the program from running again:

    1. Click on start then run and type "regedit" in the box and press enter. (without the quotes)
    2. Expand and Look for: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM ->ControlSet001 -> Services -> DELLBIOS
    3. Delete DELLBIOS folder
    4. Restart the system
    5. Re-flash BIOS
