Windows 7 Professional: "another program is installed. Please wait until the installation is completed, and then try to reinstall this software. »

I get this error message (see title) when I try to remove existing applications or to install new applications.  I upgraded this Compaq CQ50z-100 of Vista Home Basic in a 2 step process:

Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade

Windows 7 Professional upgrade

Once I had upgraded to Home Premium, I started to get this message.  Thinking that I can fix by the Win 7 Pro update, I proceeded with the upgrade (success, no problem).  However, the problem persists.  I tried to perform a "clean boot" and then "Normal Startup - load all the drivers of devices and services" and I still get this error.

Need advice on what to do to solve this problem... short recovery in the image of Vista Home Basic original recorded via Norton Ghost 15... :(

Thank you Andre,

Since posting this thread, I found a solution.  The solution was to reset Windows Installer (1 to off, and then back to the manual) using the console of the computer/manage.  I edited the setting Windows Installer via "Services and Applications view (tab 'Standard' of Services).  First round of "Disabled" to "Manual", restarted and all then it 'Manual' and rebooted one last time.

In a note, my issue was with Norton Ghost 15.  I had installed on the original view of Vista Home Basic, but found I could not it starts successfully after the 2-step 7 upgrade Premium.  Remove failed.  I've finally finished the removal after completing a full installation of Ghost 15 new (seemed to have lost some registry key values/entries).

    Hello

    I have the same problem. I don't know what to do and I tried to check what other people wrote on online. I think, because another program tries udate and he has a problem, it's the reason why. The message I get between the two is the following:

    "A program cannot display a message on your desktop.

    Under Details of the program, it says:

    Program (s) or device (s) that requires attention.

    This problem occurs due to partial incompatibility with windows.

    Can anyone help?

    For any manual uninstall to succeed, you will need to manually remove all items remaining program where they occur, whether in the registry or in Windows.

    Maybe you could try a third-party uninstall program if Windows cannot do it for you.

    Take a look at some of the free third-party uninstallers part such as 'Revo' that exists in the market.

  • uninstalled applications, received message: Please wait until the current program has finished uninstalling or one. After several reboots, still same message.

    Original title: 2 numbers do not know if they are related

    I have 2 questions and I don't know if they are related. Several days ago I was doing some cleaning and uninstalling programs to free up space. I don't know what I started with, but it seemed to go ok. However, after all that I've tried to uninstall gave me the message: Please wait until the current program has finished uninstalling or one. I rebooted the computer more than once during this period, but it still says that.

    Then my internet explore has stopped working just for 2 or 3 days. I've been using google chrome to access things, but it is rather slow.
    I ran repeated virus and malware scans my norton security and the microsoft Web site, and all said I am clean.

    Yes, it's windows 7 I appreciate the suggestions, but the problem was that he wouldn't LET me not uninstall anything. He gave me the waiting message please do anything, and he's not missing if I stopped and restarted. Finally, I gave up. I saved my files to my external hardrive and just do a full recovery of the computer. He solved the problem of installed programs and the internet problem explore both, although I hoped it would avoid going that drastic.

    Hi Martin,

    This error message is related to the windows service installed on the computer.

    Before you begin to solve the problem, I recommend to restart the computer and verify if you are able to run the program.

    If the problem persists, I suggest you follow the provided methods to solve the problem.

    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.

  • "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".

    Original title: when setting up Windows Media Center, I get the error message: "IR hardware not detected".

    I have an internal TV Tuner that has been installed by HP, when I bought recently a "computer build-your-own." (According to the control panel Device Manager, my tuner is a Win TV HVR 1290, made by Hauppauge). The computer came with Windows 7. While installing Windows Media Center, after setting up the TV Signal (on channel 3) I am able to see a video thumbnail on my computer screen. I am also able to change the channel using my remote control U-Verse (not the Windows remote control supplied with the computer). So far so good! I then hit next and get the following message: "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".  After you receive this message, the installation procedure is completed. I called HP that support intalled the tuner. They had not the slightest idea what to do. I then called Hauppage customer (manufacturer of TV Tuner). They said that I need to plug one end of the IR Blaster cable that shipped with the computer in a slot in the back of my computer (they told me which slot). They said so to run the IR all the way cable to my cable box and the other end of the cable to my cable box of band. They said it was necessary to be able to use my Microsoft Remote to instruct the box to change channels (cable IR stuck on the box). I told her that I did not use the Microsoft Remote, I could change the channel with my U-verse remote (that I preferred to use anyway). He said that it took the cable on the band decoder in order to remove the error message and the installation of Windows Media Center. I then called U-Verse technical adapter who informed me of their set-top boxes (made by Cisco Systems) do not have the ability to receive signals IR IR Blaster cable (or any othe IR signal source). Microsoft is apparently not understand how U-Verse set-top boxes are designed to work and sells a product incompatible remote control/IR. My question is this: How do I set up Windows Media Center, in order to avoid getting the error message "IR hardware not detected" when you install Windows Media Center and just use the remote control of the U-Verse that I prefer to use in the first place. Once understand you this point, please send the information to HP, At & T U-Verse and others. Thank you.

    Ron, I have something for you!

    and for all the people who have this problem :)

    Hi, I had the time of IR not detected in Windows 7 Ultimate with a TV wonder 650 card and a box of digital adapter from Verizon for my PC... Go on the road to installation and after the Media Center channel search, choose manual configuration. Choose the aerial signal (I aso picked after this analog) l. After he sought more, he finds no channels.  Do not be afraid. Just accept it and go to the main settings page in the Mediacenter. If I remember correctly, then select TV Guide. Choose Add channel. I added the channel 3.

    Since my Verizon box has no IR for the computer, I added the channel 3 for the media Center and I change the channels with my Verizon remote. All my stations in the Verizon box go to Channel 3.

    The story here is so, for some reason any Windows detects that only my box channel signal TV and you must manually configure the media center on the air, then go to settings and add the channel you want in the guide.

    Why the guide TV control which channel you can tune is beyond me, but the scanner locks all channels, it does not detect. they must be added manually in the guide.

    My TV works and looks okay now.

    It actually works!

    the only problem is that it is not in HD

    but there is something
