Error Code: 18 Please Help

I listen to spotify constantly and need help.  I have uninstalled for a clean re-installation, but while i downloaded the installer, it gives me error 18: "The installer is unable to install Spotify because the files to write are in use  by another process.  Please make sure Spotify is not running and retry.

Im running windows 8 and NEED help.  if i could get some asap, that would be great

Hopefuly it works! I can't get mine to install either ug

its not working bruh,,

 

I had tried a million different methods to fix this issue but i finally fixed it! It was simply that spotify wasnt uninstalled to 100% because it wouldnt let me uninstall, i fixed it by downloading a free trial version of Revo Uninstaller Pro and uninstalling it thru that program which worked! So now i can download spotify without any issues!
