Always says that another installation is already in progress
Hello
I have a desktop computer with Windows 7 installed. It seems to be hung on a facility that I can't finish. This prevents me from doing other installs without going through a routine of Rube Goldberg.
When I try to install a program, it stops and I get an error that says: "another installation is already in progress. Complete it before you proceed with this installation. »
If I go to the Windows Task Manager process. There are always 2 copies of msiexec.exe running. One has my username next to him. The other has nothing beside him. I can "Complete the process" on the version with my name next to him, but not others.
Now, if I want to reach intall a program. I close version of msiexec.exe with my username next to him. Then I go into Services and disable Windows Installer. Then I reboot. Then I go into Services and back Windows Auto Installer. Then I can install a program. If I want to install another one, I have to go through the same routine of Rube Goldberg.
Is it possible to get rid of this problem?
Thank you
James
In the Registry Editor window, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress
If this key exists, delete this key. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

Error 1500. Another installation is already in progress
I had to install a plugin for our payroll service. When I tried to intall the plugin (msi), I get the error message "error 1500. Installatation another is underway. You must complete that installation before continuing this one. »
After troubleshooting, we found the following in Windows Task Manager - processes tab.
2 instances of msiexec.exe (user name: SYSTEM)
1 instance of msiexec.exe * 32 (user name: SYSTEM)
1 instance of msiexec.exe * 322 (username: me)
Because I'm not running an installation or uninstallation - I used the 'End process' button, but the same names four Windows Installer Image returned (same Image name and same username as above).
I did some research and ended up using it (msconfig) Configuration system, selective startup (tab Services), hide all Microsoft services, people with disabilities, then restarted the computer and managed to do the installation. After installation, I've restored the start-up services as they were before.
I then had an update of Java who came today, and which resulted in the error 1500 again. I did the search again to find other things I could do.
I tried the following:
Solution 1: Change (remove) the Inprogress key as follows:
1. choose Start > run, and type regedit in the text box to open; Click OK.
2. open the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Inprogress.
3 If the Inprogress key exists, delete it and then restart the installation.Solution 2: Unregister and then reregister the Windows Installer Service.
1. choose Start > run, and then type msiexec /unreg in the text box open. Click OK.
2. click on start > run and then type msiexec/regserver in the text box to open; Click OKThe following changes have been made in the last two weeks:
December 29, Windows Update [Update critical]
Dec 21, windows Update [critical update]
18 Dec installed O2Micro Flash Memory Card Driver Windows
18 Dec, Intel Network Connections
18 dec, Dell updates
First Question:
Is it possible to know what is trying to install or uninstall Windows Installer?
Restore points - have not tried, but will be done as the next.
Update on system restore
Tried to restore to 29 Dec and get following error message:
"System restore was not entirely successful. The system files and settings on your computer did not change.
Details:
System Restore could not access a file. This is probably because an antivirus program is running on the computer. Temporarily disable your antivirus and restart System Restore.
An unspecified error occurred during system restore. (0x80070005)
... Try again, etc"
I've completely disabled the Malwarebytes and tried a second time and the same problem.
Other options if the Restore Points does not work?

Hi, my trial version of Lightroom 5 has expired recently and I bought now fully. I downloaded the CD on my Mac, but when I open again the Lightroom application, it always says that the trial has expired. Does anyone know how I can update so I can finally use again? I appreciate really all help! Thank you!
Joanne, please remove your current installation of Photoshop Lightroom by using the uninstall program located in the/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
You will then want to download Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1 of Adobe - Lightroom: for Macintosh. The update contains the entire application. Photoshop Lightroom cannot be installed through the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application and still be allowed with a serial number.

Can someone help me? I am trying to download iMovie which normally should be free with other Apple applications, but for full reason he always says that I have to pay for it. And I Shen a brand-new iPhone updated to IOS 9 5s. Can someone give me advice on what to do?
iMovie and iLife and iworks Apps are free with the purchase of a new device.
Since Apple is no longer selling the iPhone 5 s, she cannot be considered more for free apps.
However, just to be safe, disconnect you from the iTunes and App Stores-> Apple ID in the settings on the new iPhone 5 s, then reset the iPhone in now the home and power buttons together for 10 to 15 seconds. Let the iPhone reboot and then sign in with your Apple ID in iTunes and the App Store and try to get the Apps again.

iCloud library not updated iPhone photos of Mac. This happens frequently and I don't see a way to force him (he always says that he updated all 'on time'). I tried restarting both devices. Mac is running latest update of el capitan, and iPhone is 9.1 (on hold until that the photos are actually saved to update to 9.2)
Try to go to iCloud.com to see if the elements are there and whether the device or the computer. That should indicate if the device or computer is not synchronizing. If the computer, try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing. If the device, go to settings/iCloud and do the foregoing.
