Issue:
You have downloaded the interim fix of CA11 and put it on a file share to install from.

The user you install with have only READ-ONLY access to the file share shared folder.

When run the installation you get strange errors, like:

The installation is unable to continue. Please make sure all product services have been stopped and applications have been closed.

Solution:

Ensure the user that you install with have full rights to the windows share where the cognos media files are.

Connect to \\servername\d$ if needed, to get the correct rights.

The installation program need write access to the folder where the media is stored.
