Cakewalk Next will not Install

[Ronald Parkin]

I downloaded the Cakewalk Next installer from the website and the program will not install. The error message keeps popping up that says: "Next is currently running, please close the application to continue"

I just paid for a subscription and I cannot even install their program.

Did you restart your computer? 
Did you open task Manager to see if it was running and end task? 
Is a prompt hidden behind a open window? 
Are you using the new Cakewalk Product Manager?

Did you install Next as an update from within Next itself? 
The process tries to first close the app before updating but if you had a project modified you have to manually close the application before installation can complete. Thats all that the message is telling you.
