Hello
Try the methods provided below and check if the problem persists.
Method 1
Unregister Windows Installer and then reregister Windows Installer. To do this, follow these steps:
(a) click on Start Menu
(b) type msiexec /unreg , and then press ENTER.
(c) click on Start Menu
(d) type msiexec/regserver , and then press ENTER.
Method 2
If the previous step fails, check if it has all the facilities waiting on the computer using the registry.
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, see the link below.
Back up the registry
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

Check the following registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

'Please wait until that the current program is finished uninstalling or change'
Im trying to uninstall a program and when I click on uninstall it says: "Please wait unti the current program is finshed uninsatlling or that" it says always that what I'm doing.
Hello
This question has been answered here:
I think you should try:
#1 restart your system and try again.
#2 check that the software is not running in the background.
#3 try a 3rd party uninstaller but be careful because you don't have much control over how a 3rd party uninstaller effectively uninstalls - sometimes they leave "debris" that can affect future use.

Having Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Had to uninstall Java/Pogo games but when you try to reinstall Java a window pops up saying, "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
I used Revo UN-install, but when I checked the Panel he showed Java with a folder instead of the Java icon. I tried to find what file or folder, it is the case, find nothing. Please help if you can.
Thank you.
This sounds like your problem? - http://forums.whatthetech.com/index.php?showtopic=104537&hl=This+action+only+valid+products+that+currently+installed+Windows
It lists the reg keys his looking, then you might check to see if you put them before doing anything.
Back up your registry and set a restore point before taking any action - assuming that is your problem.
Also, if you download and run the file, AV check it before running it - just in case.
NOTE: the above was found by google, I have not tried that I have not had the error. I can't say if it works or not.
PS - Also, FYI, while the research I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893048 , but it seems specific to XP - SP2. Don't know if there is an equivalent W7.

When I try to create a restoration point, a message is displayed on the lower right part of the screen and I get this message: Systempropertiesprotection.exe - corrupted file.
In addition, it tells me to run Chkdsk. I am doing and not of results. If I search for the file, Systempropertiesprotection.exe happens in several different directories along with one. Record of MUI with the same name. The computer seems to work very well, but my suspicions are triggered. Any suggestions?Hi Popo75,
Let us try the following steps to solve the problem.
Step 1
Sometimes the malware could have disabled the files. Try to run an online scan and see if it helps.
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
If this does not help, try the next step.
Step 2
Try to run the Design Checker (SFC.exe) system files and check if the problem persists. To do this, follow these steps:
1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command. analysis of all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
Check the link for more information:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212
Step 3
If the problem persists, create a new user account and check if you still have the problem:
To create a new user profile:
To create a new profile, you must first create a new user account. When the account is created, a profile will also be created.
1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.
2. click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. click on create a new account.
4. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.
Check out the link for more information on creating a new account below:

The secure connection failed
An error occurred during a connection to mail.yahoo.com. The peer certificate has an invalid signature. (Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
The most common reason for the 'sec_error_bad_signature' many sites seems to be the shield of Web of Avast. Web Shield intercepts your navigation and filter, but to filter sites secure, it has "fake" certificates for Firefox. Avast have set Firefox to rely on its false certificates, but which seems to fail on a regular basis.
To test this theory, try disabling scanning of encrypted sites. I saw these steps in another post:
- Open the Avast dashboard on an affected system.
- Select settings in the left side menu.
- Adopt a Protection Active.
- Click on customize next to the Web Shield.
- Uncheck the option "Enable HTTPS analysis", and then click ok
If that solves the problem, but you want to filter encrypted communication, you need to import the Avast! signature in Firefox Certificate Manager of certificates, References tab.

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\InProgressChange 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

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.
