SOLUTION


This Error indicates that the Windows Installer Service is currently being utilized for another installation or update at this time. Alongside other program's Installations, Windows Updates can also occupy the Windows Installer service and will thus need to complete prior to running another installation.
However, if a previous installation was unsuccessful and did not close properly, you can end the Windows Installer Process manually:
  1. Reboot the computer and try installing again
  2. If the error returns, attempt to find any applications currently installing and close them
  3. If unable to find an application running updates, open Task Manager and navigate to the 'Processes' tab
  4. Select 'Show processes from all users' if it is not already.
  5. Locate and end any 'MSIExec.exe' entries you see.
After these steps, attempt the installation once more.
