It seems that the installer forks a separate process for installation, so the install check initially fails. This can be avoided by calling a simple wait script e.g. waitforprocess.bat

@echo off

:loop
tasklist | find /I "%1" > NUL
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto jump
ping -n 1 localhost >NUL
goto loop
:jump
