I have been trying unsuccessfully to download adobe reader 10. Every time it goes to install it comes up with error 1500 saying I cannot install the program as there is another program running/installing and to complete that first.

I cannot identify the program to which the computer is referring.

What do I do?

    Restart your computer, the download and run the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

    If you still have problems, tell us what your operating system is.

    Is this error message references "Another installation is in progress.."?

    If that is the case, you have to wait while another installation is finished or stop it.

    Most likely case is Windows Update.

    You can try to restart the system or chage Windows Update preferences to turn off automatic updates temporarily,

    Install Reader and change Windows Update preferences back.
