  • "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.* *.
