This error message will occur if the key
"HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress"
exists.
The most likely reason for this existing is an unexpected reboot
(or Windows Installer crash) occurred in the middle of the install.
If this is a persistent problem that keeps reoccuring then turn
on verbose logging by policy to capture the
problem occuring.
Microsoft's KB312308
article says to remove the above
mentioned registry key, but I suspect you can probably restart the
installation of the problem product instead.
