  Steps to put your computer in a clean boot:

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

  1. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

• When you try to uninstall several programs via the Control Panel, I get a message that "another installation is in progress and must be completed first". I have no other current facilities. Windows XP Home Edition

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Hello dutchb,

  The error, "another installation is in progress and must be completed first" can be attributed to the InProgress key found in the registry at:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  I suggest that first make a backup of the registry or a system restore point. Then go to control panel, administrative tools, Services. Do scroll down and find the Windows Installer service, and set the start at the stop State. Delete the registry key to the location above.

  Now, you shouldn't get the installation in the progress message when you try to uninstall programs.

  I hope this helps.

  Sincerely,

  Marilyn

  My Dell Inspiron E1505, running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit has had problems lately with the download and installation of windows programs.

• Another installation is in progress; You must complete this setup before it--NO other installation IS in progress and using Windows 8.

  Some plug-ins must be updated. When I click on "update now" and download the update, I get a message "another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one. "I use Windows 8. There is NOTHING else being downloaded at the moment. I rebooted and it does not help this happened for several days.

  Plug-ins that I try to put up-to-date are QuickTime and Google Earth. Also, I was unable to update my printer software.

  I need simple instructions on how to correct her. I searched and see that this has been one problem for others but can't find a simple solution that is well beyond my knowledge base.

  Found the solution on my own. If this happens to you, I open the troubleshooting Windows Update (Windows 8), and corrected the problem in order for me to update all plug-ins. Rebooted and everything was fine!

• I can't put the system restore at any point, nor the desire, it set a new restore point, error box - another restore is in progress and me stops dead.

  I am running windows Vista Home Basic; 32-bit.  Norton 360 anti virus; ALSO I can not uninstall all ADOBE programs, error says cannot locate
  %AppData%, critical then an error screen after another.  I'm agree with getting rid of most of the old files and users to start all over again, windows was on the computer when I bought it. Help

  I'm glad you're running properly again!

  And have nothing to do with registry cleaners, you've discovered.

  As you say, make regular data backups, and if something bad happens, you always have to fall back on recovery.

  Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer and help others here.

  See you soon.

• Another installation is in progress.

  whenever I try to install all the applications, im always invited that I need to complete a setup which is underway.

  In the Registry Editor window, navigate to the following key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

  If this key is there, then export it first, then delete this key. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

• Another installation is already in progress"error message preventing the installation

  I use a windows Vista 32 bit and I try to install things and everything he says is another installation is in progress, please complete installation!
  Could you help me please!

  Minimize all windows. You see a window showing the progress on first installation. Maybe he should wait at the entrance of your share?

  Another option is to select Ctrl + Shift + Esc, tab Applications and stop the first installation?

• 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 OK

  The 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?

• 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
