There's your problem. The 'other' process is your cmd.exe within which 
you are typing etc.

Python scripts dir should be on the path so you don't have to execute 
anything from within it. Windows is obviously tripping over its own toes 
trying to delete and install something in the same dir while you also 
have your foot in it.
