Error message 1500, installation already in progress. Help!

I'm having a problem. I was trying to download a program from Abbottdiabetescare.com so my husband can monitor his blood sugars. When it is almost finished loading, it comes up with an error message that says It says "Error 1500.  Another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one."  That's a direct quote.  I got on the phone with their tech support but they couldn't help me at all. They said it had to be some process on the computer. His computer is a Toshiba Satellite L355-S7915. It runs on Vista. I have turned all of my Norton security off, and have restarted the computer, I disabled tss.exe because it was causing issues, but it still comes up with the same error message. Thanks for any help!

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.

  • Error message: Background operation already in progress

    We used to use four channels for our DAQ, but recently I want to add one more channel. Then I just modify the program I used before, however, it always give this error message. The labview version I am using is 4.0.1.
    Thank you!

    Hello;
    The best way to troubleshoot that problem is to run one of the Labview shipping examples, with the same number of channels you have on your application.
    IF everything goes weel, then start to change some of the acquisition parameters, such as the Sample rate and number of points to retrieve at a time.
    Other than that, the only thing I can think of is a hardware failure.
    Hope this helps.

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

    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.

    I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes.  I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

    Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

  • Error Message= x Cannot find the HTML help browser installed on your system.

    Help! I cannot seem to find the solution for the error message I get when trying to generate a layout in Microsoft HTMl Help (Primary Layout). I am using the trial version, but it didn't seem to be an issue for anyone else in my class that was also using the trial version.
    The error message states, "Cannot find the HTML help browser installed on your system."
    Thank you!

    Sounds like a problem with the installation of RoboHelp on those machines. When you install RoboHelp, it installs the necessary files to view a CHM.

  • Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" - I have read and action the KB - no fix

    So before we start - I have read the KB (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding) and actioned the advice on how end the processes, delete the parental lock, etc. This gives a temporary but one time only fix and does not resolve the overall issue.
    I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the application.
    So why do I get the Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding"?

    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
    Note that in Firefox 13+ (expected to be released June 5) the parent.lock file is no longer deleted after closing Firefox to make it possible to check for startup crashes, so the presence of that file will in the future no longer indicate a problem.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I can't Start, Uninstall or Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: Window Installer Service could not be accessed.  No other programs have similar problem. Any suggestion what can be done?

    I can't Start, Uninstall of Install new iTunes. I'm getting the same error message: "Window Installer Service could not be accessed". No other programs having similar problem. Any suggestions how to fix it?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • I have a problem with installing PS13 as I get an error message "This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements." how do i do this?

    i have a problem with installing PS13 as I get an error message "This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements." how do i do this

    Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
    You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it.

  • "Unknown Publisher" error message during installation

    Ok, I have tried for several days and even got ahold of Microsoft on this issue. Every time i go to download Itunes the download is ok, but when it goes to install Itunes, I ALWAYS get "Unknown Publisher" error message and installation is cancelled. How do i resolve this issue? Any ideas?????

    Welcome to AD!
    Some folks have had success by downloading and installing QuickTime standalone, then installing itunes after QT. iTunes needs QT codecs to play audio & video.

    Make sure to get the version withOUT itunes.
