Problem to install SQL Server 2005 CTP June edition...
Hi
When I tried to install, I kept getting the following problem with System Configuration Check:
A previous installation required a reboot of the machine for changes to take effect. To proceed, restart your computer and then run SQL Server Setup again.
I've rebooted many times (with AntiVirus turned off) and yet the above problem remains.
Anyone has a solution to the above problem?
Thanks.

The reg key that contains the reboot information is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Pendingfilerenameoperations
Open up reg edit and take a look at that key. You may need to clear the contents. Whenever you change the registry directly you should create a back up of the registry just in case something goes wrong. If you cannot determine what application is causing a reboot you can try clearning out that key - I don't recommend this as it may leave your machine in an inconsistent state.Dan
Hi Dan
Thanks for your reply. I've checked but unfortunately, the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Pendingfilerenameoperations
is not there...
Does anyone have a clue as to what else can be the cause of the problem?
Many thanks.

I had the same problem. But I solved deleting the value "Pendingfilerenameoperations" in the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\ instead of deleting the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Pendingfilerenameoperations
Good luck,

Sorry to use this thread and not creating my own but im having the exact same issue here.
I have tried all the above and i still have the same error:
A previous installation required a reboot of the machine for changes to take effect. To proceed, restart your computer and then run SQL Server Setup again
Ive restarted about 10 times with the same problem. I have run the vs_uninst tool too. Including the sqlbuw.exe utility.
ANyone know what i can do further?
ACtually worked it out and if anyone comes across this then:
1. Hit Start > Run type SQLServerManager.msc or if you have the shortcut on your start menu feel free to use that.
2. Expand SQL Native Client Configuration and select Client Protocols.
3. Right click Shared Memory - click Enable.
4. Rerun VB .Net express installation (or whatever your using)
