failed to grab execution mutex
When running active setup with stubpath msiexec /fu [productcode] I get this error.
Any idea what might be causing this.
This is not the first time i get this error. Had it with other packages as well.

I might be mistaken but I think this means more than one Windows Installer package is trying to execute actions in server context. Does your msi happen to return error 1618?
In other words, 2 packages are trying to install at the same time.
EDIT: or, since I'm a slow typer, what Ian said [:)]

tbh I didn't know they were triggered at the same time...
thought Windows would be smart enough to process them one by one, but then using Windows and smart in the same sentence might not be a good idea :)
So in short, no idea really

Enable the windows installer Logging policy and check the timestamps between the logs created during logon.
Empty the %temp% folder for the user you're going to do this to easier find the newly created MSI logs.
You could also launch autoruns from sysinternals...oops I mean Microsoft too check what is launched during logon.

Const intPosterBehaviourBoneIdle = 0
Const Const intPosterBehaviourSentient = 1
blnReturn = GetPosterBehaviour(ReadThisPost, intPosterBehaviour)
If intPosterBehaviour=intPosterBehaviourBoneIdle Then
Call DisplayURL("http://itninja.com/question/gnu,-freeware-and-shareware-programs-to-cloning3167")
End If

@ pjgeutjes, is there any way that I can avoid them from installing at the same time ?
When logging in all msi's with active setup built in are triggered.

AS isn't multi-threaded (witness the set-up of IE, WMP and so on in a standard build) so your interfering MSI is coming from elsewhere. Do you deploy anything by SCCM/SMS, Tivoli, or whatever? Is there a post-reboot application finishing up?

It seems that a java msi is doing a curent user but I will have investigate how this is triggered.
After two activesetups fail, this is the msi one that fininshes its configuration.
