    Windows installer error

    When trying to install windows updates I get this error message
    Windows Update_80240016
    windows update is currently installing other updates please try again in a few minutes..
    Also tried updating java it with not install and previous version will not uninstall.
    it seems to be a problem with windows installer itself I can neither install nor uninstall programmes..
    I am using windows 7 ..

    Windows Update_80240016 comes when it tries o install while another installation is already in progress or your computer might require the mandatory restart. So if there is no other installation running then restart your computer and you will be out of issue.
