I use Windows XP Service Pack 2 and IE7.
I am unable to download and install anything, on some items I am getting the
message:

'Windows Installer
Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation
before proceding with this install.'

But how can I find out which 'other installation is already in progress'?
Anyone know, please?

Regards

Alan
 
Windows installer clean-up utility is out-of-date,it hasnt been updated by
microsoft in about 4 years...You can download to desktop,does windows
update work...If no,or yes & a no,go to run,type:msiexec /unregister
After,return to run,type:msiexec /regserver After,return to
run,type:services.msc
In msc,scroll to installer,double click,set to auto,start service,close out
msc
 
I tried the first two intructions and both came up with an error message
saying windows couldn't find the files. The third direction (services), I
was able to get into, but when I changed the windows installer to auto from
manual, it would not allow me to click the start button. Please help.
