"An instance of the installer iiiis already running....."

How do I clear it now?
I thought by turning off it should clear but no luck?
Help would be appreciated?

sounds like a stuck WININIT.INI??
look and see if there's a file of that name in the Windows folder - if there
is, then copy/paste the contents (from notepad) to your response.

Oh - in that case, check in the temp folder(s) and delete everything there -
