You must restart the computer before running setup. My machine had SQL Server 7.0 installed, so I removed it, but the problem persisted. I restarted my machine many times, checked the registry for a pending file entry, and searched the local drive for a pending file, but I still haven't found the solution. Do you have any ideas? SQL Server issues this error message when Setup detects that some files need updating and that the registry has operations pending to update those files on the next reboot. You can see this scenario in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\pendingfilerenameoperations. One way to eliminate this error message is to delete the registry's pending file rename or delete keys. Note that deleting either of these keys might prevent a necessary file update from occurring, perhaps causing an incomplete operation. Renaming the keys might be safer; then, you can restore the names after your SQL Server installation is complete.

when it always displays there are pending actions from a previous install Categories: Windows by Juan Carlos How to proceed with an installation when the error message: "A Restart from a Previous Installation is Pending" orĀ "There are pending actions from a previous install" or "Setup cannot continue because a restart from a previous installation or update is pending" keeps showing up. In occasions you'll find yourself unable to install software receiving an error message that indicates: "A Restart from a Previous Installation is Pending". This is usually indicated as there are pending operations and generally speaking a restart of your system will force those operations to take place. Because of that new installations wait for the previous ones to complete their required file changes to avoid any potential issues. The real problem is that after you restart the machsesine you continue to get this error message. In my case recently I was installing Lync Server when the SQL installer kept indicating it couldn't proceed as there were pending actions and I must restart the system. After doing some research it turned out that my Group Policy that installed network printers was causing this behavior. There were pending file renaming operations because of that. In other words, every time I restarted my server group policy would install the printers which would then as part of the driver install indicate the OS to perform file rename operations on reboot. The rest of the story makes sense, every time I restart the group policy would cause those operations to be pending causing SQL express never to install. In order to resolve this you just need to go into the registry (via regedit) and delete the entries that indicates the pending operations on restart. Below are the instructions from
