How can I get installer to work?

I am trying to fix an error on a friend's PC running on XP. When I try to uninstall or install anything I get a message that reads "Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with his install". My friend can't remember what he was installing when this happened.

Is there a way to 'reset' the installer? I've tried running CCleaner's registry fix but that didn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as always.
