Re: Can't install or uninstall... at wits end!

Hi Andre,

I am still getting an error message stating that there is another
installation in progress and to wait until that is finished before attempting
to install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility you sent to me. It is Error
#1500.
Any other suggestions?
