Google Check: Chris Painter's blog. Culprit: DTF custom actions.

"It seems this kind of error is triggered by DTF custom actions executed as immediate when the setup is launched from "Apps and Features" manager".

Solution: Are you uninstalling or installing? If you are uninstalling, try the old ARP applet (Add / Remove Programs). Hold Windows Key => Tap R => Type: appwiz.cpl => Press: ENTER in order to open the Add / Remove Programs Applet.

Deployment Tools Foundation: DTF => Deployment Tools Foundation - included with the WiX toolset. A .NET wrapper for the Win32 MSI API with value added features: sample 1, sample 2 (using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;).

Makes custom actions possible with emulated code (.NET). Richer API, but more dependencies (.NET Framework) and layers to depend upon - some problems invariably result.

Quick Checks:

  • Google exact error message
  • Try to reboot and then try again (sorts pending reboots & locks).
  • Temporarily disable anti-virus / security software before deployment (locking & blocking).
  • Make sure you run with admin rights (permissions).

General Purpose Deployment Debugging:
