I have been having problems installing programs for a while, Usually getting an error that Visual Studio j# install is an unfinished install and it gives me an option to rollback that install before installing the program I am trying to install.
I am now trying to install Team Foundation Server 2012 Express and when I run the installer I get the following error.
Error : TF400293 : Windows is currently installing another package. Wait until Windows finishes the other installation, and then restart this setup program.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get rid of the failed installation once and for all so I can install other stuff without all these problems.
Im using windows 7 by the way.
Also I seem to be unable to fully complete a Windows Update. It seems like there is 1 update that will never install and my computer just hangs on the installing update screen. I left it for 4+ hours once and decided it would not complete so had to just turn off my computer.
You’ve got this error message when a setup failed but the MSIEXEC.exe is still running or when there’s a restart pending blocking other installation.
For the first case: kill the MSIEXE.exe process.
For the second: Use regedit to look at this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperationsClear out any value in the key and then try again.This issue is not TFS related, by the way.
