SYMPTOMS
If you start the setup.exe program of either the OLAP Manager Addin (Addins.exe) or the DTS Task Kit Addin (DTSTasks.exe) within a few seconds of the other's setup completion, you may see an error message that looks similar to this:
CAUSE
Each of the addins installers is a self-extracting Package For The Web (PFW) archive, which starts an embedded InstallShield setup. The PFW process continues to run while the setup runs. When the setup is finished, the PFW cleans up its temporary files (the setup files) and then exits. This takes a few seconds after you see a message box, in which a message appears that indicates the setup is finished. If, within those few seconds you start either of the other addin packages, the previous PFW is still running and has not removed the temporary files, which then causes the error message. It takes few seconds for the first setup to clear.
WORKAROUND
To install both setups without any errors, wait about 5 seconds between the two installs. If the error occurs, run the failed setup again and the setup should then run successfully.
