Exchange Installation Error - Reboot Pending From a Previous installation

                                    Reboot Pending From a Previous installation

While you run you exchange setup some time it will fails with an error "A reboot from Previous installation is pending".

Hmmm... noooooo i have rebooted my server. Why this is repeating again and how to over come from this.

No worries there is a way, it just it might stuck at PendingFileRenameOperations key.

• Go to the following  registry key "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations" and right click and click delete.

• Once you delete the PendingFileRenameOperations Key go to the Exchange Setup and run it again.

You will come to know the the error disappeared  now. :-) Issue is fixed.
