How do you install/uninstall software when a message comes up saying another installation is on?

August 11th, 2009 · 4 Comments

I’ve been trying to install/uninstall software lately, and whenever I try to run the installer program, it bring up a dialogue saying that another installation is already running and that I need to finish it before I can proceed.

However, I am running no other installation. I tried restarting the computer but that didn’t do the trick, and when I try to finish the Windows Installer service, it won’t allow me! Please assist me in this issue.

      try pressing alt+ctrl+delete key then look for anything that resembles a installer program or exe for the program your trying to remove then click it and select end task to shut down the failed installer so you can remove it.
