    games are being "suspended"

    Can't install a game as there is already a 'suspended installation'?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to install a couple of games on a friend's laptop -

    • Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (RA3)
    • Command & Conquer: Tiberian Twilight 4 (TT4).

    The laptop's an Acer Aspire V5-552 with an AMD Quad A8-5557M processor, 512mb graphics and 8GB RAM, running Windows 8.1.

    Game specs are:

    • Intel Core 2/AMD64 or better (RA3 states '2.6GHz or faster' - this laptop has a turbo boost up to 3.1?)
    • 1 - 1.5GB RAM
    • 10GB Hard Drive Space
    • 256mb video card with support for shader model 3
    • Directx 9.0
    When I try and install RA3, it says it can't complete because there is a Suspended Installation
    of TT4. It asks me if I want to remove the relevant files, which I say Yes to, but that dialogue box just keeps coming back.

    If I put TT4 in instead and try and run the installer, it allows me to hit Install > English > Agree > Standard Installation and then says
    The program cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.

    It seems to me like I need to find this 'suspended installation' and get rid of it - but I can't find anything. Is that right, and if so, how?!

    Please can someone help?

    (I have also posted this on another forum but posting here too as there are usually some really helpful people around games are being "suspended" :) )
