Help! I cant Install POE2

I downloaded the installer but it keeps showing the error 0x80070652-Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install. But I didnt have anything else installing! I tried to reopen and redownload the installer but all failed, opening as admin is not working as well. Is anyone meet and solve this problem please help, thanks.

Mine installed but it was just PoE1 and not PoE2 after the 44gb download/install. Makes no sense. I clicked the Download installer *on* the pathofexile2.com and NOT on this site (no 2). No clue what's going on.

I know this is late but incase someone else is searching for this fix in Jan here is what helped me.

I was getting error "0x80070652-Another installation is already in progress" like the original poster. Did the normal troubleshooting with AV program and even rebooted. Nothing was helping. I tried to restart the Windows Installer Service and noticed my options were greyed out. This led me to the Microsoft forum where someone suggested the fix below. I followed those steps and as soon as I ended that executable, I reran the POE2 installer without rebooting. Installed just fine. Hope this helps someone else.



Right click Task Bar to Open Task Manager, on Details tab highlight msiexec.exe to End Task.
