What is it?

  • When installing SQL Server client on one of our users' machine, I got the following error:

    "A previous program installation created pending file operations on the installation machine. You must restart the computer before running setup."

    I reboot the machine. I got the same error when I tried the installation again.

    I found there were registry on the machine. I wiped out all registries in the MS SQL Server. I reboot the machine. I got the same error again when I tried the installation.

    Any input will be greatly appreciated.

  • i had this problem once. but i can't remember how i solved it. this has to do with the installer program and not sql server itself.

    Everything you can imagine is real.
