Can you confirm that you followed the instructions on upgrading clusters?

The error message indicates that a broker instance may already have been
running.

What was the error? If you don't have any persistent messages or data
that needs to be preserved then you can move the database directory
(%RABBITMQ_BASE%) out of the way. If the installation still fails then
make sure you don't have a broker running with the same name.
