That error is something about another process is installing. Try shutting down (not restart) then boot up and try again. If that doesn't work you will probably have to call support.

I'm sorry you ran into this issue. ProSeries is attempting to update a Microsoft Library it depends on (Visual C++ runtime). Allegedly that 1618 indicates another installation is in progress (other than ProSeries... we use a different installation technology that shouldn't interfere with Microsoft).

Could you restart your machine, download and run the Visual C++ Installer directly?

If that works, then try the ProSeries installer.

If that doesn't work, reply here and we'll try something else.

Again, sorry you've run into this problem.
