“Another installation is already in progress” error while installing driver

Asked By jade santos 10 points N/A Posted on - 02/27/2012

I downloaded windows unattended CD creator with Driverpack from the internet but I can’t help myself installing the software. Driverpack installs the drivers for some time but before it finishes an error screen pops saying that another installation is already in progress, complete it first and the installer just ends without completing the installation.

“Another installation is already in progress” error while installing driver

Select Manage, after right clicking on the Computer icon, the computer management utility will open. Click on services, then on Windows Installer“right click” and click on properties. If the problem exists, the service of Windows Installer will start but stop button will disable.

Do the followings:

Dialog Box in the Properties converts Startup to "Disabled", utter OK, and restart your machine. This stops the function. After your computer reboots, again unobstructed Computer Management (right-click on Machine and select Manage), yield Windows Installer Properties, and alters the Startup type back to Drill.

Now you're healthy to go and can commence a new installation.

Try to re-register your Windows Installer under Safe Mode. Restart your computer and then hit the F8 key.

On the Windows Advanced Boot Options, choose Safe Mode and then hit the Enter key.

When in Safe Mode, launches the Command Prompt and then re-register the Windows Installer.

Run the following command to do this:

• CD %windir%system32 and press enter.
• Attrib -r -s -h dllcache and press enter.
• ren msi.dll msi.old and press enter.
• ren msiexec.exe msiexec.old and press enter.
• ren msihnd.dll msihnd.old and press enter.
• Type Exit and press enter.

And then reboot your computer and when it started downloading the latest Windows Installer version from the link
