Failed to grab execution mutex. System error 258.

[Manideep.karnati]

Hi Guys,

Today while troubleshooting the MP role installation failure I saw " Failed to grab execution mutex. System error 258." in mpmsi.log file, Is this something because of pending reboot of the system (I noticed that system is pending for reboot in registry and the files that are waiting are mostly like ccm.tmp ).

Log file snippet -
