Обсуждение: Installation problem -- another installation is in progress

I am attempting to install the postrgresql-8.3.3-1 download on Windows Vista.  When I get to the "Ready to install"
dialogand click OK, I get the message "Another installation is in progress", and I need to click on cancel and end the
installation-- otherwise I am in a loop.  This happens even after I reboot.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like your installer database is, umm, confused. I assume
you're running setup.bat? If so, try just running the vcredist
executable on it's own. If that completes OK, then try
postgresql-8.3.msi.

Making the world a better place one message at a time. Check out the i'm Talkathon.

Thanks for your prompt response. Actually, I solved the problem after posting.  When I got to the "Ready to Install"
dialog,in the Task Manager, there were 4 instances of msiexec.exe running.  I experimented with deleting 3 of them.  At
first,I killed the whole install, but finally I deleting the correct three, and the install ran to completion.
