[Dropped] Error 1500 during installation of 4.1.15

Post by prism12 »

Am getting error message 1500 that another installation is in progress.
How do I clear this?

Thanks.
Doug

Clearing the msi file fixed it.
Thanks.

This thread suggests you shutdown the computer and then retry the installation. Note that it should be a true shutdown and not just a quick restart.

Even disabling the fast startup?
Else, try LibreOffice. See [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information.

Here is a video that suggests killing msiexec.exe jobs in the Task Manager. Do you see any of those?
