Recently we’ve got error installing driver on our Windows 2008 R2 server. It does not provide any specific error dialog, just constantly showing “Please wait while the application is preparing for the first use”. After you press Cancel, it gives you error message saying that installation could not be completed because other installation is in progress. The only diagnostic message in the Application log was EventID 1033 form MsiInstaller with message Installation success or error status: 1602 or Installation success or error status: 1618. Which obviously not helpful. Internet search revealed, that this message is quite common and can be caused by many things.
