Can't install MP495 with Cannon set up disc.

[barbarao607]

I am trying to install my Cannon MP495 printer/scanner using the Cannon disc. It will not install, the disc begins, but then I get this error message:    " Printer driver is currentley in use. If you are not using the printer driver, it may be used by others on this computer. Exit all applications and printer properties and then try again. If you still have a problem, restart the computer and then try again."

I am the only one on this computer, there are no other printers. This is a new computer running Windows10. Thanks for any help
