When you install a software package that uses the Windows Installer technology, the error code 0x80070652 appears. The entire error message is below:<\/p>\n

Setup Failed\n\n0x80070652 - Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.<\/pre>\n
\"installer<\/p>\n
\"installer<\/p>\n
This error may occur even though no other installation windows are open.<\/p>\n
Cause<\/h2>\n
The error 0x80070652 (“ERROR_INSTALL_ALREADY_RUNNING”) is caused by one or more stuck msiexec.exe processes. Although the reason for the stuck process is unknown, terminating those processes should resolve the issue.<\/p>\n
Resolution<\/h2>\n
To resolve error 0x80070652, open Task Manager and click on the Details tab. Then, terminate every instance of the msiexec.exe<\/strong> process.<\/p>\n
\"installer<\/p>\n
You can also accomplish this using an admin Command Prompt<\/a>. From the admin Command Prompt, run:<\/p>\n
taskkill \/im \"msiexec.exe\" \/f<\/pre>\n
\"installer<\/p>\n
You should see the output “SUCCESS: The process “msiexec.exe” with PID ##### has been terminated.<\/em>” for each instance of msiexec.exe.<\/p>\n
See if you can now install programs correctly.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n
If the above method doesn’t help, boot into Safe mode with networking, enable Windows Installer in Safe mode, and attempt to install the program. See:<\/p>\n
