CanoScan not allowing me to setup - "Error. This software cannot be started as it is in use by anoth

Hi there! I am trying to set up my CanoScan LIDE 300, however whenever I download the setup it is giving me an error saying "This software cannot be started as it is in user by another device" (I have attached a screenshot below). The download is called "mac-lide300-1_0-mcd.dmg" from https://ij.manual.canon. I have tried researching the issue to solve this however I have not found anything helpful. Any advice or information would be very appreciated!
