Installer Cannot Continue Because Another iPE is Running

Problem Description

The installer displays an error when you click the Next button on the Setup Type dialog box, see Upgrade or New Install. For example:

The following iPE services have been found to be running:

rocess staffw_nod1 Process Sentinels

The installation process cannot continue until all installations
have been shutdown.

Please see the iPE server document for more information.

The installer has detected that the indicated iProcess nodeName Process Sentinels service is running, where NodeName is the nodename of the iProcess Engine that is running the service.

The installer may need to stop and replace components (such as the iProcess Events64 COM+ application) that are also used by other iProcess Engine installations, if those components need updating. If so, it cannot perform the installation if another iProcess Engine is running on the same machine.

What to Do

To resolve this problem:

1. Stop the indicated iProcess nodeName Process Sentinels service. To do this:

Open the Control Panel window.

Double-click the Administrative Tools icon.

Double-click the Services icon.

Right-click the iProcess nodeName Process Sentinels service and choose Stop.

2. Click the Next button on the Setup Type dialog box again. If you have chosen:
— a Basic installation, the Choose Destination Location dialog box is displayed.
— a Custom installation, the Upgrade or New Install dialog box is displayed.
