Search for "Curiosity" on the top search bar, and click on "Curiosity" in the list to highlight it

End the Curiosity Process
After selecting the Curiosity process in the list, click the "End Task" button located at the bottom-right corner of the Task Manager window. Confirm if prompted to ensure the process is terminated.



Open Task Manager and close the Curiosity.exe process


Retry the Installation:

Return to the installer window where you encountered the error message and click the "Retry" button to continue with the installation.
