You first need to ensure that only one instance of Windows Installer is running, which can be done by pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL on your keyboard to load up the Task Manager. The way to resolve Error 1618 is quite simple. Windows Installer can open from the likes of having automatic updates installed on your system or from a previous install that did not occur. Each time you want to install a program on your PC, certain important processes are used that only one installer can utilize at a time meaning that if you have more than one instance of Windows Installer open, it’s not going to work. The problem that causes the error is all down to how Windows works. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.
Error 1618: Another installation is already in progress.This error will generally show in these two variations: It can cause all sorts of problems, from not allowing you to install the program you want but fortunately – it’s straightforward to fix if you’re able to follow the various steps which will resolve the errors which cause it. The error is basically caused by the presence of a more-than-one Windows Installer program, making it impossible for your computer to run at least one of the installers. I will gladly try EXACTLY what you recommend and report the result.The 1618 error generally shows when you try and install a program on a Windows computer using the “Windows Installer” application. I have executed nothing in Visual Studio 2005 since getting the last error except to submit these messages. I assume that there are more than one activity (thread?) executing in the Visual Studio 2005 install and it is "stepping on its own foot". I REALLY want to try out Mobile 2003 SE and Mobile 2005 development using Visual Studio 2005. (I tired using an MSDN pre-paid incident for this problem and was told that support was not available for Visual Studio 2005 - yet.) I have run some permutational of this install about 30 times. I have been at this now for about eight days. Install and specify a specific component.Ĭustom install? Full install repair? Restore and custom install? Restore and Full install? ĭon't restore and install specifying repair. Please assume that I am "dumb as dirt" and tell me EXACTLY what I am supposed to do. When I do this I do a "Full" install and get a 1618 for some component. I then can run a "fresh" install of Visual Studio 2005. I do a full restore of two hard drives of a system that has ALL development tools uninstalled and ActiveSync installed. I have tried solving this problem multiple times. I have not had this much fun since Windows 3.1.
