Complete other Windows installations that are in progress Now I decided to write some exceptions lines to save the same CPU resources and not waste unnecessary executions.To resolve this installation issue, follow the instructions below starting with Solution I. Thanks in advance! I faced error code 1618 which practically means that another Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) instance is already running in the background. If I can provide any more info to help clarify, please feel free to ask. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.

The operating system reported error 1618: Another installation is already in progress. The task sequence execution engine successfully completed the action (Office Web Components 11) in the group (Siemens Soarian) with exit code 0 Action output: re for PackageID='10000031' ProgramID='Install' AdvertID='10020008' has started, jobID='' Releasing of Job Request successful CompleteJob successful Entering ReleaseSource() for C:_SMSTaskSequencePackages10000017 referencecount 1 for the source C:_SMSTaskSequencePackages10000017 before releasing Delete source directory C:_SMSTaskSequencePackages10000017 Released the resolved source C:_SMSTaskSequencePackages10000017 Installation failed with error (0x00000652). So basically, I have one step in the sequence complete successfully (according to the log): Is there any way to ensure that the installation is completed entirely before starting the next step in the task sequence? I have been playing tag with this, because every time I fix one, it seems that other ones start happening in a day or two.

This fixed the problem, but then another program installation in the task sequence started getting the same problem (when it previous never had this problem). This started with just one problem task, and so as a simple fix, I added a system restart after that installation. I have issues with getting errors during specific package installations, and it gives Error 1618: Installation is already in progress on the next step in the sequence. I have the task sequence configured to install applications near the end of the imaging process.

Hi all, I am new to the forum (and to SCCM for the most part), and am encountering some issues during the Operating System Deployment task sequence.
