• 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!

  Hi JDSoor,

  Thanks for posting. Two or more instances of the service Msiexec.exe cannot be launched at the same time for two different products. An install or repair processes should finish before the other process can be launched. Go to processes in the Manager of tasks (so press CTRL ALT + DELETE) then press the processes tab and look for to MSiexec.exe and press "end process." You may need to do more than once.

  I hope this helps. Let us know if this or do not resolve your problem.

  Thank you

• You must stop your request before the engine may stop

  I have an integrated application that uses LV DSC 6.0.2. The application starts and stops the engine tag programmatically. The application works fine, but on some machines, I'll get continuously the next dialog box when I try to stop the engine of the tag:

  "You must stop your request before the engine may stop"

  It's strange, because it only happens on some machines (it seems that it can occur on computers with ONLY of DSC Run-Time installed, not the full dev system. DSC LV).

  The dialog seems to refer to the application of 'control' which tries to stop the engine... it isn't telling me that my devices servers need to be stopped.

  This dialog box does not seem logical, I should be able
  to build an application that can start and stop the engine... and why I get this dialog on some machines but not on others?

  John Paul,

  There are two points that we should ask ourselves:
  1: you can have different loops while in your application where you read/write to and from the engine of the tag with the read/write Tag.vi. These screws has a stop of production which must be wired first the while loop. If you have cases where you do not connect this output to your time stop loop you could access the engine while you want to stop the engine in another loop with the Shutdown.vi engine. -> Make sure you have all drivers of DSC to access loops has stopped before you turn off the engine.

  2nd: I guess he was once an issue of race with the DSC engine condition and how it access to shared memory with the read/write Tag.vi. But this condtion of race must be agreed with the version of LabVIEW DSC
  6.1 or with other fixes for LabVIEW DSC 6.0.2. You can download patches (in this case, particularly the BVRTDatabase.dll) driver update page & of NOR: www.ni.com/support/ > Option 3, drivers and updates > Search drivers and updates > type 'LabVIEW DSC' > choose LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control 6.0.2 fixes.
  You must apply the patches of this as well on your DSC 6.0.2 Run Time System!

  I hope that one of the help of two suggestions to solve your problem.

  Concerning

• The SD card no longer works. "You must format the disk before you can use it"

  I have a dv8000t supplied with XP.  I've upgraded to Vista 32, and after the driver updates and adding the SMCISEnable key in the registry, the SD card reader has worked well.

  Now when I try to use the SD cards, it is said: "you must format the drive until you can use it" as an error message.  I tried the SD cards on other computers, and they work, so I know that is only the HP dv8000t problem. This is perhaps the result of a Windows Service Pack or other update?  I have Vista Service Pack 2.

  Any ideas?  Thank you.

• SP2 error: "the Service pack installation cannot continue.

  Hello

  Hope someone can help with this.

  When I try to install SP2 I get this message "the Service pack installation cannot continue - is missing one or more components of the system which requires service pack."

  My computer is a Dell Studio 1737 laptop came with Vista Premium 64 bit OS. Received 3 months ago.

  Last week, I got a blue screen while making a rescue disk (I know, it's ironic), computer was slow, so I tried to do the system restore. System Restore does not work (I installed SP2 in fact at the moment, no problem). Looked for the solution, only thing I could find was to re - install OS repair mode (upgrade).

  Found some info on VLite (knew, it has not been accepted by MS). Did the repair installation with VLite, added updates and drivers, took only some of the great language files. Load and run fine, ran all updates to windows. When I tried to install SP2, I got the "Service pack installation cannot continue - one or more components of the system that requires the service pack are missing. Looking for solutions, concluded the MS 'this may be due to the installation of VLite"only resolution is to re - install with OEM disc.

  If that's what I did, re-installed, (repair - upgrade), once again. Load and run fine, ran all updates to windows. When I tried to install SP2 I got the "Service pack installation cannot continue - is missing one or more components of the system which requires service pack"-NEW.

  I have:

  -tried several times

  -uninstalled VLite (of fat)

  -Disabled antivirus, Norton 360

  -Downloaded the standalone KB948465 - X 64

  -guarantees for KB955430 and all updates were installed

  -Ran "reset windows update components.

  -Re-installed "Windows updater.

  -We searched MS forum and Web site for help, can't find anything on the message of"missing components".

  -Ran "System tool" KB947821

• Error message from Windows Explorer "you don't have permissions to update this folded.

  Hi all

  Long time listener, first time caller.

  One of my users has a few problems on his cell phone.  When she tries to open the windows Explorer, it gives the error "you have not permissions to update this file" pop up.  Also when she opens Internet explore, it rises and closes immediately after opening.  This has happened for the last week or two.  Today, it is a problem in outlook - when it opens a document (Word, Excel, etc.) MS from his office or on his computer, it opens fine.  When she opens a MS outlook attachment document, it says the file is corrupted and cannot be opened.  She also has a recurring problem where when she stops or restarts his computer (this doesn't happen when she disconnects or freeze his account) it comes up with what looks like, but is not, a temporary account.  She needs to do whatever it is, provide the network administrator credentials.  I ran several scans s Malwarebyte and AVG scans with no success.  It is a work computer while she has not been to any shady sites.  The only thing that seems to fix it is a system restore to September which works until these problems occur more.  She uses a Samsung ATIV Book 4 - Professional Win7 - x 64-8 G Ram - 700 hard.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.  If need be, I can save and reload WIN7.

• 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?
