When I tried to run the installer this morning, I got "Another installation is in progress". This happened the first time I tried to run it. It does this every time I attempt this.

There is no installation in progress.

I'm on Windows 7.

All I need to do is convert epub files (acsm) to Kindle format. If there's another way to do this besides Calibre, I'll use it.
The installation Windows is detecting as being 'in progress' it not necessarily a calibre install, it could be any install that didn't complete 'gracefully'.

Here are some ways to fix it ==>> Fix: "Another installation is already in progress" error N.B. In this instance Win7 and Win10 are much the same.

BTW that was the first item in a Google search for "Another installation is in progress"
