Error 1618: Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.

This issue occurs because Microsoft Windows Installer can only run one installation at a time unless it is a nested installation.

It's possible that for some reason there is a Windows installer session hanging on the background. Reboot should fix this.

there are many solutions if you google error 1618

Error code 1618 when installing Skype and Java, windows 10

Hi Carm,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I can understand how frustrating it could be when things go unusual. I will certainly help you.

We suggest you to try the steps in the following Skype Support article and check:

How do I update Skype? | Skype Support

We suggest you to Disable Security Software temporarily and check if the issue persists.

NOTE: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have
to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.
