Cannot Install Programs-Says Installation already in progress

[Faction99]

Whenever I try to install or uninstall a program a message pops up saying an installation is already in progress. This has been happening for the last couple weeks. The computer has been turned off and on/restarted many times in this period and from what I can tell there are no installations in progress. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

What is the EXACT message?

[Faction99]

The exact message is: "Another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one."

I have since found a solution though, thanks for replying though!

• Click the Look button to start the scan.

Thanks for the reply, but as said in the previous post my solution has already been solved elsewhere. I solved it by doing a "clean boot". After the clean boot I restarted with a regular boot and all installations worked fine; some program must have been interfering beforehand.

Once again, thanks for your reply though!

Oh, OK
