163 Views Asked by At

I received the message "WebSphere application server v7 is currently running. Please shut it down to continue." while attempting to upgrade my local version of WebSphere Application Server 7 using IBM Installation Manager on Windows 7. The server was not running at the time. The message also persisted after a reboot.

According to this technote, any running Java process can cause this issue. I found a running instance of javaw.exe using Process Manager, closed it, and the installation was able to proceed from there.
