    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,

  • Message "Installer has sufficient privileges to modify this file" when you try to uninstall a program

    When I try to uninstall unwanted program I get a message "Installer has sufficient privileges to modify this file" I am the only administrator & user of this computer.  I use Vista M.S..

    [Moved from comments]

    Hi John,.

    1. Since when are you facing the issue?

    2. you have any security program installed on the computer?

    3 did you a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

    Method 1:

    I would say allowing you to run the FIXIT from the link provided and check if it helps.

    Solve problems with programs that cannot be installed or uninstalled

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall

    Method 2:

    I also suggest to try to run the System File Checker scan on the computer. The scan will replace all the Windows files corrupted with new ones.

    Click on the link mentioned below for further guidance on the scanning of the file system Checker

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 3:

    I also suggest you to run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check for infections.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.

  • Get serious error pop up when you try to uninstall a program...

    I need help here. I did something really stupid recently and I see it now. I installed a program on my laptop without even checking if it is compatible with windows vista. It installed fine, but now when I try to uninstall it, I get a message that says "Image transfer can not be installed in the current version of windows".  So now I don't know how to get this program off my laptop. The error message says that it can not be installed, but it is already installed, so I'm confused about what to do next...? If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it!

  • Nothing happens when you try to open Adobe Reader or pdf

    When I try to open Adobe Reader (any version), nothing happens. I'm running Windows 7 Pro and tried to uninstall Reader 9 & 11, running a suggested fix, running Adobe cleaning tool to remove it, run it from a CL, but I don't see an error code: 7

    There are no errors during installation.

    What could be the problem?

    Any help is really appreciated.

    You can try other things...

    • Update drive to 11.0.6
    • You can open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try to disable the Protected Mode [Edit |] Preferences | (Improved) security].
    • If Reader opens in itself, try to disable the Safe_mode in the registry; Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    • It might even be a malware problem; See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Receive error message when you try to uninstall a program/game (Windows Vista)

    I have 2 games and a program I'm trying to uninstall it from my computer, but I get errors on each of them.  I have used Windows Vista to uninstall programs and features (Add/Remove).

    Here are the games/programs:

    1st:
    Chocolatier 2 secret ingredients

    Error: The file "C:\Program Files\Chocolatier 2\ReflexiveArcade\unins000.dat" does not exist. Impossible to uninstall.

    2nd:
    Hidden Mysteries Titanic

    Error: Could not open INSTALL. LOG file.

    3rd:
    Print Photo Pro Shop

    Error: The log "C:\PROGRA~1\BRODER~1\THEPRI~1\DeIsL1.isu" file is not valid or that the data has been corrupted. Uninstallation will not continue.

    I want to delete the 2 games inorder to reinstall (I get error tring to open them too).

    The program of the print shop that I just deleted, I've never used and don't plan to use it.

    HOW?

    I saw that others suggest using a program called Revo Uninstaller Pro unstallation, http://www.revouninstaller.com/

    But I'm not sure this safe or will work.

    Now that I got everything that I'm not very good at using the computer except to simply add a program, and I will need detailed instructions to do it myself.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi billdee,

    (1) since when are you facing this problem?

    (2) remember to make changes?

    (3) what happens when you try to uninstall the program?

    Method 1: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try
    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

    Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    Method 2: If a Protection of resources Windows (WRP) file is missing or is damaged, Windows may not behave as expected. Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

     

    Method 3:  Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

    Follow step 1 in the link below,
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link

    Method 4: check the logs in Event Viewer for more information on this problem

    Open event viewer
