    This error can mean several things.

    1: The uninstallation .exe is running and is in use. It is located under your Windows directory: either uninst.exe or IsUninst.exe (depending on the InstallShield product that has been used to create the setup).
    Reboot the machine and make sure no other application is running that will load this executable into memory and then run the setup again (perhaps: Start -> run -> msconfig ) . Check Task Manager to see whether it is loaded into memory (Ctrl + alt+ del)

    2: You're trying to install where you don't have sufficient access privileges.

    3: InstallShield is buggered (This gets messy. Take care of the previous first)
