Net Helpmsg for Windows Error 0xABCDEFGH

Suppose you get error 0x80070652 from an installer:

>net helpmsg 0x80070652
The syntax of this command is:
NET HELPMSG message#

It doesn’t support hex. You need to take the last 4 digits "0652" from 0x80070652, convert it to decimal "1618" and:
C:\>net helpmsg 1618
Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.
