"Only one instance of wusa.exe is allowed to use" error when you try to install a Windows Standalone Update package

I just came across this error when you try to run the stand-alone update of Windows for Microsoft Virtual PC on my Windows 7 Professional machine.  Check the event logs, I saw the following message:

Windows Update could not be installed due to the error 2147944018 "another installation is already in progress. Complete it before you proceed with this installation. "(Command line:""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\Users\dorseytm\Desktop\Windows6.1-KB958559-x86.msu" ")

I searched, but could not find any current installation.  I rebooted several times, I tried to run CCleaner on the registry, stop and start the Windows Update service, but nothing has worked.

The file I am trying to run is Windows6. 1-KB958559-x 86.msu.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

tmdorsey76,
A few questions.  This error only happens with KB958830 or with others?  What language is run on the PC?

If you are comfortable with the registry editor, then look to see if this key exists:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

If this key is there then first copy it to your desktop then delete this key.

* Change the REGISTRY settings 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 went to the extreme, I renamed the file in wusa.old safe mode. then I restarted windows. and made sure he was not running. but when I renamed it wusa.exe and just tried to run the update file, I got the same stupid mistake.

  • DIFx Driver Package install error = 536870141 when you try to install the MFL-ProSuite for a Brother MFC-J870DW printer all in one

    Hi everyone, I have read the various issues pertaining to the Brother software and the IS052 error that I got also.

    I spoke with brother two times and they tell me that I'm missing a driver and if I sent the error message DIFx Driver Package install error = 536870141 to Microsoft, they would be able to provide me with the driver I need.  Brother also had me try to install from the disk and also on their site and I got the same error.

    I am a home user, so not very technical when it comes to drivers, etc..  I know that you need.  So please don't you technique on me.  I have been messing around with this now for almost 2 weeks and can that copy and print.  I can't scan or fax due to this error when you try to install the software.

    I have the disk with the drivers on what I did when we first got the computer.

    I use Windows 7 64-bit.  I really need help so I hope that there is someone who can solve this problem.

    Thank you very much

    Karthik, sorry it took me so long to answer.  I hate it when people do that to me then again I am sorry.

    After trying your suggestions, nothing seemed to work so I asked my son who is a type of systems to help me.  I he provided with suggestions and error message, etc..  He read about all this and then remote connected my suburb.

    He renamed the errorlog and then tried to reinstall the Brother software and got the error.  He was then able to read this file was causing the error without reading through the tone of the error messages.  It turns out that there is a file that brother was looking for in one place, but it was in another.  He copied to where brother was looking for her, has done a reboot, loaded the software without problem.

    I am now scanning and everything works as it should.

    So maybe it's the same problem that others causing a problem.  If they can get the steps to find the error Log, look at the error message that is created in the error log, which will tell them what brother file cannot find and then go from there.

    I don't think I could have done myself, but he knew where to look for such things, and I don't have.

    Thanks again for all the help I got from this forum.

  • D:/autorun.exe is not a valid win32 application he came up with this error when I try to install a program on a disk and it is really buggin me

    It is in these exact words and it's annoying me like crazy can help pleae somone

    Hello

    Thank you for joining Microsoft Community!

    According to the description, it looks like you get the autorun.exe when installing a program on a disk.

    However, we need more information to help you better.

    Please help me answer this question.

    1. is the particular problem with a particular program?

    2. is the specific issue when installing a program on a particular CD?

    3. what program are you trying to install?

    4. What antivirus do you use?

    The probable cause for this error 'not a 32-bit application valid' can have several causes:

    I have listed some of them below.

    The file is corrupted, bad or missing.

    a. If the hard drive is damaged or badly it cause work programs to fail, either because not all data can be read from the hard drive the program is damaged on the drive. Run scandisk and defrag on the hard disk to check for potential errors.

    b. If you run the program from a shortcut on the computer, verify that the program is still on the computer. In some cases if the program is no longer installed on the computer, you can get this error.

    File is not designed for your version of Windows:

    a. If you try to run a program that is not designed for your version of Windows, you can get this error.

    b. Although numerous older programs designed to work in older versions of Windows will work with new versions of Windows, unfortunately, not all programs will not work.

    c. If the program is an MS-DOS program more former start program or Windows, you get this error.
    d. If the program is designed for a 64-bit version of Windows and you are running in a 32-bit version of Windows, it will not work and generate this error.

    File is a virus, worm or other malicious program file.

    a. this error can be generated by a file that is a virus, worm, Trojan horse or other type of malware file. Often, this will result because the antivirus installed on the computer will not allow the file to install or run. Try to analyze the file to check, it is not a virus or infected.

    (b) if the file has been checked and is clean, it is always possible that the virus protection program or a another program installed on the computer is at the origin of questions during installation or execution of the program. Start the computer in Mode safe and try to run the program, start the computer in

    Safe mode will ensure that nothing is running in the background that could cause this problem.

    Hardware incompatibility.

    a. If you get this error during the installation of a program, it is also possible that the CD-ROM drive or the drive that you are installing the program from is not compatible with Windows or has drivers that are not compatible with Windows.

    b. download the latest drivers for your CD player or other of the manufacturer of the computer or the manufacturer of the equipment. (Microsoft does not pilot for other materials)

    Provide us with more information on the issue to provide a better solution.

  • Receive no printers installed error when you try to print. There is still printers, and one has been defined as the default value.

    Related to this, last week we received a number of calls from users telling us their machines suspended once during the logon process to enter their credentials.  Even 20 minutes of waiting does not solve the problem and restart the machine took care of her.  We have a long login script so I added the lines that surround and inside the different functions, calls, WMI queries etc. within a specified period that he might be the cause of the problem.  Turns, when the script got to the point where he enumerated the list printers, he hung the machine.  (The code below at the bottom.)  Once this comment out code, users were connecting to fine, and the same timeout error preceding appeared in the login script.  What gives!

    Sounds to me as we have a problem of possible spooler, but outside the removal & time printers and their drivers, I'm not sure where to look, or why it affects only a small percentage of our population and more importantly again, suddenly.  I'm open to suggestions.

    * Excerpt from Login Script

  • Missing profile - cannot create new one - uninstalled FF - revenue W8.1 said earlier - already running when you try to re - install FF - many reboots VIPRE IS

    original error was "already in the process of running FF" - not the view in the task manager - not could close - restarted several times - same results - uninstalled FF and tried the download & installation of new - same message "already running." W8.1 revenue by about 3 weeks (3 updates) - same result when installing FF = already "running." After the message "already running" is always the profile is missing or inaccessible.

    Do the same thing with TB BTW. Using the latest version of VIPRE internet security on automatic update. Nothing like on a W7 and XP machine on the same LAN. Is there a virus on corrupting FF? Scan VIPRE says nothing about the machine of 8.1...

    See:

    This is usually caused by a problem with the file profiles.ini and the profile marked as the default value = 1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.

    • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\
      C:\Users\ < user > < profile > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
    • Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox /.

    You can use one of them to make the Creation/use of a new default profile for Firefox:

    • Remove the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    • Use "Choose a folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
