In my case I had tried Symphony a couple weeks ago and had long since forgotten it had crashed. I found the offending process and killed it, but it took a while for me to become convinced the installer wasn't broken. It would be nice if the install process had a mechanism to ask the user if they want the installer to quit the offending program for them.
