Seems like every time I go to install something it says that another installer is currently running. And sure enough, if I check Task Manager, there is an msiexec process running. It just says the command line is C:\WINDOWS\systme32\msiexec.exe /V and that it's started by SYSTEM user. It seems to be associated with the msiserver service.
It doesn't seem to be running right after booting. But it doesn't seem to take more than 10-15 minutes or so, and then it's there. It's very mysterious to me.
Anyway, it seems to be blocking all my installs. I say this because if I kill this msiexec.exe process, then I can usually proceed with the installation of other software. And besides rebooting the computer and quickly running installing whatever I wanted to install before this mysterious msiexec.exe can launch, killing the process is currently my only other workaround -- but that's really annoying and shouldn't be required.
I don't know why this is happening. I don't know what might be starting it, and I'm not sure how to fix it. But it's really annoying and I'd like it if it would stop preventing me from installing software normally and so that I don't have to keep killing it before installing software.
