Another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one\u201d<em>. <\/em>This could also happen during the download process.<\/p>\n<p>What makes the issue so frustrating is that there\u2019s no other ongoing installation. This leaves you to wonder where the error is coming from.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is not new. It has been encountered by users on previous versions of Windows, including Vista, XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy does this happen? And what can I do to get rid of it?\u201d You\u2019ll get the answers to these questions soon enough. So please, keep reading.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Error Code 1500?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAnother installation is in progress\u201d with the error code 1500 occurs when you try to start a program installation at a time when Windows Installer (MSI) is already running.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, as the message points out, all you need to do is check if there are any ongoing processes and then wait for them to complete or terminate them.<\/p>\n<p>But many Windows 10 users report that they get the error even when there are no other actions in progress.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the problem is suspected to be caused by an \u2018In progress\u2019 key left behind by a previous installation.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s now go ahead and look at the fixes for the error.<\/p>\n<h2>How Do I Fix \u201cError 1500 &#8211; Another Installation is in Progress\u201d?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a handful of methods you can use to successfully get rid of this error.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get right to it, shall we?<\/p>\n<h3>Fix 1: Close conflicting background processes<\/h3>\n<p>There may be installer processes that are already running or stuck in the background. These hold up the new program installation, leading to the \u201cAnother installation in progress\u201d error.<\/p>\n<p>You will have to kill these background processes through Task Manager.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these easy steps to get it done:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the Start Menu.<\/li>\n<li>Type <em>Task Manager<\/em> in the search bar and click on the option from the search results. Alternatively, you can press the <code>Windows key + X<\/code> to open the WinX menu. Then select <em>Task Manager<\/em> from the list.<\/li>\n<li>Go to the <em>Processes<\/em> tab.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll through the <em>Background processes<\/em> category and locate <em>exe<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the entry and then click the <em>End Task<\/em> button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__heading\">Note<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">If you find <em>setup.exe<\/em> and <em>msiexec.exe<\/em> on the list, select them and click the <em>End Task<\/em> button.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<ul>\n<li>Close the <em>Task Manager<\/em> window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After completing this fix, check if the installation will go through successfully.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-block cta-block_native \" data-cta-type=\"native\" data-cta-position=\"\">\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__top\">PRO TIP<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__text_native\">For continued optimal performance and to avoid similar issues, consider using  <a href=\"\/en\/software\/boost-speed\/after-download\/\">Auslogics BoostSpeed<\/a> . This comprehensive tool helps manage startup items, clean up junk files, and optimize system settings, ensuring your PC runs smoothly.<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__btn-group \">\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__download-btn\" href=\"\/en\/software\/boost-speed\/after-download\/\">Download for Free<\/a>\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__learn-more\" href=\"\/en\/software\/boost-speed\/\">Learn More<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<h3>Fix 2: Disable the installation reference using the registry editor<\/h3>\n<p>When a program is being installed, a status reference is added to the Registry. The entry is removed after the process is complete.<\/p>\n<p>But sometimes, this fails to happen, preventing you from installing a new program.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the procedure below to resolve the issue:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Invoke the Run dialog by pressing the <code>Windows key + R<\/code> shortcut on your keyboard.<\/li>\n<li>Type regedit into the text box and press Enter or click <em>OK<\/em> to open the <em>Registry Editor<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Go to the panel on the left-hand side of the window and scroll down to the\u00a0<em>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE<\/em> Expand it and open the following subkey:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Installer\\InProgress.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On the right-hand side of the window, double-click the <em>Default<\/em> string.<\/li>\n<li>In the box that opens, go to the <em>Value data<\/em> field and delete its entry.<\/li>\n<li>Click the <em>OK<\/em> button to apply the change.<\/li>\n<li>Close the <em>Registry Editor<\/em> and restart your computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you\u2019re done, try the installation again and see if the error has been taken care of.<\/p>\n<h3>Fix 3: Restart Windows Installer<\/h3>\n<p>Windows Installer is a component that handles the installation and removal of programs on your computer. Stopping it and starting it up again may help in resolving the issue in discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to do so:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the Start menu.<\/li>\n<li>Type <em>Services<\/em> in the search bar and click on the option from the results list.<\/li>\n<li>On the page that opens, scroll down to <em>Windows Installer<\/em> and double-click on it.<\/li>\n<li>Now, click the Stop button or expand the Startup type drop-down menu and choose Disabled.<\/li>\n<li>Click the <em>Apply<\/em> button.<\/li>\n<li>Click the <em>OK<\/em> button.<\/li>\n<li>Close the <em>Services<\/em> window and restart your computer.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat steps 1 to 3.<\/li>\n<li>Press the Start button or expand the Startup type drop-down menu and select <em>Manual<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Click the <em>Apply<\/em> button and then click <em>OK<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Close the <em>Services<\/em> window.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now try installing the program once more. It should go through without any problem. But if the issue persists, then move on to the next fix.<\/p>\n<h3>Fix 4: Run SFC (System File Checker) and DISM Scans<\/h3>\n<p>Damaged system files could be the reason your computer is detecting an ongoing installation when there is none.<\/p>\n<p>System File Checker is a Windows utility that can detect and repair these files.<\/p>\n<p>You should, therefore, run a scan with it via an elevated Command Prompt and see if that solves your problem.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the Start menu.<\/li>\n<li>Type CMD in the search bar and right-click on Command Prompt from the search results.<\/li>\n<li>Select Run as administrator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__heading\">Note<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">Alternatively, you can open Command Prompt with admin rights through the WinX menu (Press the <code>Windows logo + X<\/code> shortcut). Locate and click on <em>Command Prompt (Admin)<\/em> from the list.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<ul>\n<li>Type or copy and paste <code>sfc \/scannow<\/code> into the window and press <em>Enter<\/em> on your keyboard. (Note that there\u2019s a space between \u201csfc\u201d and \u201c\/scannow\u201d).<\/li>\n<li>Wait for the scan to complete. The process might take a while.<\/li>\n<li>Restart your computer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>System File Checker (SFC) might not be able to repair all damaged system files.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you still get the \u201cAnother installation in progress\u201d error, go ahead and run the DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) tool:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Press the <code>Windows logo + X<\/code> shortcut to invoke the WinX menu.<\/li>\n<li>Select <em>Command Prompt (Admin)<\/em> from the list.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the following command line and press Enter:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<pre style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">DISM \/Online \/Cleanup-Image \/RestoreHealth<\/pre>\n<ul>\n<li>Wait for the scan to complete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After the DISM scan is done, run the SFC scan again as shown earlier. Then restart your PC and see if the issue has been resolved.<\/p>\n<h3>Fix 5: Troubleshoot the Windows Store App and Windows Update<\/h3>\n<p>You might have encountered the error while trying to install an app from the Windows Store.<\/p>\n<p>If so, you may be able to fix the problem by running the built-in Windows Store Apps and Windows Update troubleshooters on Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these easy steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To open the Start menu, press the Windows logo key.<\/li>\n<li>Type Settings in the search bar and double-click the first option displayed in the results list.<\/li>\n<li>Select <em>Troubleshoot<\/em> under <em>Update and Security<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Locate <em>Windows Store Apps<\/em> on the right-hand side of the page and run the troubleshooter.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to complete the process.<\/li>\n<li>Now, go back to <em>Troubleshoot<\/em> and locate <em>Windows Update<\/em>. Run the troubleshooter and follow the on-screen prompts.<\/li>\n<li>Restart your computer and see if the new program installation issue has been resolved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <a class=\"post-item__header-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/do-i-need-manually-check-for-win10-updates\/\">Ultimate Guide: How to Manually Check and Install Windows Updates<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Fix 6: Do a manual reset of the Windows Update components<\/h3>\n<p>If the error code still shows up after applying all the fixes above, another option you have is to reset the Windows Update components on your PC.
