In this case, we have to diagnose the application and stop it to solve the error message. There can also be third-party applications which start the Windows installer service automatically.These security software blocks an installation every once in a while with a false positive. Antivirus software is extra cautious when it comes to installing applications.To be specific, ‘KB2918614’ broke the installation module which forces Java to withdraw its process. Sometimes, Windows update breaks the installer.The existing Java installation is corrupt and incomplete.If the service isn’t running properly, the installation process for Java will not proceed. The service of Microsoft Installer is in an error state.However, there are also other reasons why your installation might fail. Like mentioned before, this error message caused by a clash in Microsoft Installer. After that, you can attempt at installing Java again. In that case, you should wait it out and let the existing installation finish. This error is legitimate if you indeed have an installation underway. There can be any other installation being processed which may block the installation of Java. Users encounter this installation error when they are installing Java on their computers.ĭo note that this error code doesn’t necessarily mean that there must be another instance of Java running in the background. I will gladly try EXACTLY what you recommend and report the result.The error code ‘1618’ is quite a common error in Windows which is prompted from Microsoft Installer (.msi) stating that another. I have executed nothing in Visual Studio 2005 since getting the last error except to submit these messages. I assume that there are more than one activity (thread?) executing in the Visual Studio 2005 install and it is "stepping on its own foot". I REALLY want to try out Mobile 2003 SE and Mobile 2005 development using Visual Studio 2005. (I tired using an MSDN pre-paid incident for this problem and was told that support was not available for Visual Studio 2005 - yet.) I have run some permutational of this install about 30 times. I have been at this now for about eight days.

Install and specify a specific component.Ĭustom install? Full install repair? Restore and custom install? Restore and Full install? ĭon't restore and install specifying repair. Please assume that I am "dumb as dirt" and tell me EXACTLY what I am supposed to do. When I do this I do a "Full" install and get a 1618 for some component. I then can run a "fresh" install of Visual Studio 2005. I do a full restore of two hard drives of a system that has ALL development tools uninstalled and ActiveSync installed. I have tried solving this problem multiple times. I have not had this much fun since Windows 3.1.
