      Have you tried restarted the server and trying the installer again?

        Do what Tommy said and then try the install again.

          Probably, in Task Manager, you can check a process called msiexec.exe. you can kill it and retry installation.

            Yep..agreed with above. You may have had Windows Updates installing maybe? Hopefully a restart will get you sorted. Let us know.
