    I tried to install bitdefender today. It requires me to uninstall my Norton, which I tried to do, but a window keeps showing up saying "Another installer is currently running. Please wait for it to complete and try again."I looked on task manager and I can't seem to find anything thats running. Any help is appreciated.

    Insurgency wont install and run for me....

    I have played and have fully updated CS and Half life 2....
    I am using the newest client and installed the SDK.

    I am completely blown away, if i click the desktop icon it starts the sdk and then closes, and it doesn't show up in my game list...

    First mod attempt install here, followed the directions step by step on the mods website...

    Any ideas?

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Help- "Another installer is currently running. Please wait for it to complete and try again" :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
