Adobe CS4: Error 1618. Another installation is already in progress.

I can not reinstall the Flash or Fireworks components of my Adobe CS4. I get this error message: Error 1618. Another installation is already in progress. I am attempting to reinstall Adobe Creative Suite 4 because Acrobat was not interfacing with my Microsoft Word. Reinstalling Creative Suite reinstalled Acrobat which now interfaces correctly with Microsoft Word but I can not reinstall Flash or Fireworks which had been working fine. I open my task manager and shut off any unnecessary processes and disable my Norton firewall and antivirus. I have tried multiple times, restarting my computer after uninstalling CS4 before trying to reinstall. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

Hi Charles,
I don't think this has anything to do with Crystal Reports so go back to the top of the list and try one of the Classic SAP forums:
http://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa#45
Or it may be Business One which is an OEM version of Crystal Reports in which case you need to post int his forum:

Please mark as answered.

Trying to download update Itunes to 10.5, but installation interupted with error stating another installation is in progress. No other preocesses are running. Can you help?

We can sometimes get past this particular message by reregistering the Windows Installer Service.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
If you have a 32 bit system
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another install.
If you have a 64-bit system
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another install.

CR 2008 SP1 Error 1500 'Another installation is in progress'

Hi,
I'm attempting to install the SP1 for Crystal Reports 2008. When I get to the actual installation phase after extracting all the files and agreeing to the T&C's i get the following message:
"Error 1500. Another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing with this one."
I've found a couple of references to this on the web and they all suggest deleting the InProgress Installer registry key. But, having done this and rebooted I still get the same message. Any one else seen this and know how to resolve it?
I'm using Windows XP SP3, I have CR9 and CR2008 already installed if that makes any difference.
Cheers,
Mike

I think (and perhaps someone can validate this) that the message I'm getting is because the same build already exists on my PC. As I said in my original post i'm trying to install SP1 which according to [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/90d7dc4e-36ce-2b10-d2b3-d5d72d067e21 [original link is broken] [original link is broken]|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/90d7dc4e-36ce-2b10-d2b3-d5d72d067e21 [original link is broken] [original link is broken]] is build number 12.1.0.892. When I check my installed build number it is the same and so I must conclude that I downloaded and installed the V1 release. I guess what i'm saying is that it won't allow you to install the incremental SP1 on top of the V1 and it's error message is none to helpfull.
If anyone can confirm this then it may save others with this issue for wasting time as I have just done.

Adobe CS4 Design Center Premium Installation issues on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (RTM)

I am in the process of moving my systems to Windows 7; as part of that I have attempted to install the Adobe CS 4 Design Center Premium version that I purchased on August 16th. Thus far my experience with this has been disappointing.
My previous system (Windows Vista x64 Ultimate) was running Adobe CS 4 Production Premium version without problems. Upgrading this to Windows 7 worked just fine (so, Win 7 upgrade over Production Premium worked.) However, for unrelated reasons I decided to reinstall a fresh version of Windows 7. and the Adobe CS 4 Design Center Premium version in question.
What I observe is a highly repeatable failure during installation, in which as soon as I get to the phase where it displays "Currently installing LangPack(English) for Device Central" and then dies. Applications are half installed at that point (I can actually use most of the tools, which is why I keep setting this aside to look at it later.) This was a clean system and Adobe CS 4 Design Center Premium was the first thing I tried to install on the box.
Since that failure, I have tried to install it on a completely different system (my laptop) running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and experienced the same error. The desktop system is a Dell, the laptop is an HP.
The event log indicates a generic "event ID 1000" error. The detailed information shows that something returns STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER (0xC000000D) as an exception, which is not handled and the program then dies.

In attempting to find a work-around (since I would like to be able to actually use everything here) I have tried to run the installer in compatibility mode - both XPSP2 and Vista SP2 mode. Both fail in the same fashion.
At this point I've now installed a post-mortem debugger (WinDBG) and will attempt to capture more information about the specific failure. I am hoping that someone has seen this issue previously and has found a successful work-around. I see that others have installed the Master Suite version successfully and I suppose that is one potential solution to the problem that I may explore if i cannot get this package to work properly.

Additional information that I have collected (the wonders of a post-mortem debugger):

Thus, this appears to be related to WoW64 behavior in some fashion. I am unfamiliar with NtWaitForWorkViaWorkerFactory, so I'm not sure why it would be returning STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER.
So, I've collected a mini-dump for the process, but it's 300MB. In the unlikely event someone is interested in analyzing it, let me know and I'll gladly provide it.
I'm now wondering if I should re-wipe this drive, install Vista, Adobe CS 4 Design Center Premium and then upgrade to Windows 7. But that is a lot of effort to work around an app compat issue.

I'm having trouble downloading my subscription to a new computer keep getting an error 1 ( another installation going on) which is not the case.

I've trying to relocate and download my subscription to a new computer and just keep getting an error 1 message ( some other download going on-which is not the case) anyone else have this problem

Without proper system information and other details nobody can help you. and this error means what it says - some other install process is still active, even if it may not do so visible. Could be a silent update of a virus scanner or something, could be a botched install of another program, not even specifically Adobe. As a start, always reboot your computer and then try again. For anything else we need much more info.

Adobe Reader error 150330 during installation

during the first installation shows the error 150330

Is there anything else beside the number 150330?
Try uninstalling any installed Reader versions using http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
then reinstall with the installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

This issue occurs because Microsoft Windows Installer can only run one installation at a time unless it is a nested installation.

It's possible that for some reason there is a Windows installer session hanging on the background. Reboot should fix this.

Error -1618 when trying to uninstall, and shuffle doesnt show up in sources

Hello, and thanks for your time,
well i recently had trouble with my ipod shuffle, at first the green light wouldnt turn off, so then i reset it (toggeled the switch up and down) and then it no longer had any songs on it. Fine, so then i attempted to plug it back into my computer through a usb cord, and it wouldnt recognize it, so i tried the other six, and still no luck. I then uninstalled itunes and the ipod programs, and installed them once more. However they werent functioning properly because my computer froze or the programs wouldnt run (programs ei. ipod updater) so i uninstalled once again and attempted to install them once more. However i couldnt, an error interrupted the process and it didnt fully download, so i tried to uninstall, and and error box, during the uninstallation process pops up and says (Error -1618 Another installation is already in process Complete that installation before proceeding with this install). So i can no longer uninstall it to reinstall it. Please help, its driving me nuts

my ipod 512MB (First Generation)shuffle is not
reconized in itunes,My computer, or in yamipod.
Before when i plugged it in it did nothing, its light
doesnt came on so it didn't charge. But now it does
charge BUT It dont show up in iTunes, My computer,
yamipod. In yanipod it says 'please plug your ipod to
continue. In iTunes it doesnt even show up in the
Sources list. And in My computer it doesnt show up.
It doesnt even show up as storage/removable device.
SO I Cant add any new songs. AND I hav so many new
song i want 2 add. I have tried other computers and
did most of what teh Apple articles said,even the
ipod shuffle like Reset Utility. I was given this
shuffle as a girt on June 14 2006. My shuffle had the
problem of not being reconized at all once before but
after a couple of weeks it went away.
Go here to find out if it's still covered by warranty:

Another installation?

Hi
iTunes was working fine up until today - I clicked on the icon this morning and the Windows installer came up and then another window appeared, headed 'Problem with Shortcut' - the warning message ran 'Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.'
Any clues?

I've resolved this but now I have another problem - I'll get back to you...

Migrate To Mac "Installation already in progress"

I got a Mac Book Air yesterday - and just tried to transfer all my files from my Sony Vaio just now. After restarting and updating my computer it still says that I am already installing the program which I am not.
"Windows Migration Assistant: Another installation is already in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one."

I was in safe mode with networking and now got this message. Is it because I'm in safe mode?
That's my guess. It tells us the Windows Installer is being used. That service is apparently not loaded in Safe Mode. See KB2642495. You've never seen that message after booting in normal mode, right?
Do the System Restore as far back as you can.
Also, uninstall the Norton stuff. Tear it out by the roots.
Download and run the Norton Removal Tool to uninstall your Norton product
Replace it for now with Microsoft's program, which interferes with nothing.
