4min de leitura

Sage 50 is a powerful accounting software widely used by small and medium-sized businesses. However, like any complex software, it can sometimes encounter errors that disrupt workflows. One such common issue is "Error 1618: Another installation is already in progress." This error can be particularly frustrating as it prevents users from installing updates, new versions, or even reinstalling the software.

Call the dedicated Sage support team at 1-866-238-5180 for immediate expert assistance. They’ll diagnose the issue, fix it remotely, and ensure your Sage 50 software runs smoothly—so you can get back to business without delay.

Understanding Sage 50 Error 1618

Error 1618 typically indicates that the Windows Installer service believes another installation process is already running in the background. This can happen for several reasons, even if you don't see any active installation windows. Common culprits include:

Previous Failed Installations: An incomplete or corrupted previous installation attempt can leave residual processes or registry entries that trick the installer into thinking another installation is still ongoing.
Background Updates: Windows or other applications might be running silent updates, which can conflict with the Sage 50 installation process.
Stuck Installer Processes: A previous installer process (MSIEXEC.exe) might have crashed or become unresponsive, leaving a ghost process running in the background.
Conflicting Software: In rare cases, other software or security programs might interfere with the Windows Installer.

How to Resolve Sage 50 Error 1618

Resolving Error 1618 usually involves ensuring that no other installation processes are active and clearing any lingering installer-related issues. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot:

1. Restart Your Computer:

This is the simplest yet often most effective solution. A full restart can terminate any stuck processes and refresh the Windows Installer service, allowing you to proceed with your Sage 50 installation.

2. Check for Multiple MSIEXEC.exe Processes:

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
Go to the "Details" tab.
Look for any processes named MSIEXEC.exe or Windows Installer.
If you find any, select them and click "End task." Be cautious not to end any critical system processes. If unsure, a restart is safer.

3. Clear Temporary Files:

Corrupted temporary files can sometimes interfere with installations.

Press Windows Key + R, type %temp%, and press Enter.
Select all files and folders in the opened Temp folder and delete them. Skip any files that cannot be deleted.

4. Stop and Restart the Windows Installer Service:

Press Windows Key + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
Scroll down and find "Windows Installer."
Right-click on it and select "Stop."
Wait for a few seconds, then right-click again and select "Start."

5. Check for Windows Updates:

Ensure your Windows operating system is up to date. Sometimes, pending Windows updates can conflict with other installations. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for any available updates.

6. Use the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter:

Microsoft offers a dedicated troubleshooter for installation and uninstallation issues.

Search for "Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter" online and download it from the official Microsoft support website.
Run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions. It can automatically detect and fix common installation problems.

7. Run the Sage 50 Installer as Administrator:

Right-click on the Sage 50 installer executable file and select "Run as administrator." This ensures the installer has the necessary permissions to make changes to your system.

8. Disable Antivirus/Firewall (Temporarily):

In some cases, overzealous antivirus or firewall software might block the installation. Temporarily disable them during the installation process. Remember to re-enable them immediately afterward for your system's security.

9. Check the Event Viewer:

For more advanced troubleshooting, the Windows Event Viewer can provide detailed logs of errors.

Press Windows Key + R, type eventvwr.msc, and press Enter.
Navigate to Windows Logs > Application.
Look for errors related to "MsiInstaller" or "Application Error" around the time you encountered Error 1618. These logs might offer clues about the underlying cause.
