Why do this keep happening every time I start my computer, or sometimes it will just pop up . I can't install anything becasue it tells me another installation is in progress. Can any one help me with this issue . Any information is much needed and appreciated.
Thank You

I have the exact same problem. I'm running XP on a Dell. After reinstalling EMC8 (including update) Windows Installer tries to install EMC8 every time I boot up the machine. This is more of an annoyance than a serious problem since the install process stops with a couple of clicks on cancel. Anyone know how to make this go away permanently?

Hard to say if you actually do have the same problem as the OP never came back to say what OS he was using

What may be happening is that your installation is faulty and the program is trying to do a repair - did you put the CD in and let it run to see if that cured the problem?

Alternatively, go to control panel, add/remove programs and attempt a repair installation from there

I have the exact same problem, I think that Roxio should get this figured out as soon as possible, this is a serious flaw, and has rendered my computer almost useless, I have tried just about everything, but I still get these errors. I find it most annoying.

This program appears to have been included in Blackberry Desktop soft ware, also I have gone into add remove programs, and cannot even find Roxio.

The Blackberry version is a bit strange - none of us here have had any dealings with it and your only hope is to post this as a separate issue and mention blackberry and, hopefully, someone who has that will be able to help

Same problem with EMC 7...no reply from tech support yet.

In regard to what?

The problem here is with the bundled software that comes with blackberry and they never issued anything from EMC7
paresh
Sorry - i didn't realize this was only blackberry. My problem is with EMC 7 (there's no forum for 7 so I posted to 8) - when I right click something such as a favorite (on p c) the installer keeps popping up and trying to install. Over and over...

There is no tech support for 7 so it's in 'Legacy'

But try doing a repair install from add/remove programs
paresh
Thanks very much! Does a repair install mean remove and reinstall from the beginning with the CD Rom?
gi7omy
No - it does what it says on the tin - tries to repair an existing installation. Fo to control panel, add/remove programs and select EMC 7 - then click on 'change' and it will try to repair itself (just have the CD handy in the drive when you do it).

Try that first and if there are still problems, seach the main board for 'clean install' to remove it prior to re-installing

Thanks for your help!!
