Try doing a search on: Temp as there may be more than one folder
with that name. When found, delete everything in the folder.

Received a replacement phone today. Several of the items that I need to
install start with a .exe on the Laptop, they then run a cab file on the
phone itself. however, everytime I run one of the .exe files I get an
error
saying there is something else that hasn't finished installing. I have
rebooted 3 times. No change. I go to the task manager and I notice there
are 2 msiexec's running at all times. I kill them and they immediately
reappear. I have Google searched for fixes and i have tried every one i
found (changing registry keys for the installer, using msconfig to stop
services, deleting the Temp files, etc.). I am at a loss. I don't know
if
those 2 msiexec's are the culprits but I am pretty sure. However, I have
no
idea how to permantly stop them or find out what program the error message
is
referring to when it says there is another program being installed.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

-Brian
