For everyone's info,

Installs are allowed in safe mode, as long as the install doesn't write to the registry. That happens if after the install, a reboot is required to complete the install.


About the being stuck in safe mode: Boot up holding down the F8 key. You should get a choice of starting in normal mode. Choose that and see what happens.

There is also an option to start with the last known good point of Windows. If you have Systems Restore enabled, you will get this option.
