Reboot Message for IE install 1

[modorney]

I'm in win2000 sp3. I try to install Internet explorer, but an error message tells me:

A previous install requires a reboot. Setup will stop" or something like that.

I try to reboot, but still get the message when I try reinstalling IE.

Is there a registry key to delete ?

(Don't say go to "repair" there is no repair option )

When you try to reinstall the same version of Internet Explorer, you may receive the following error message:

Setup has detected a newer version of Internet Explorer already installed on this system.
Setup cannot continue.
To avoid this error message and reinstall the same version of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, follow these steps:
While you are logged on as an administrator, click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate the appropriate registry subkey, right-click the IsInstalled (REG_DWORD) value, and then click Modify.

To reinstall only the Internet Explorer 6 browser component on Windows XP, use the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{89820200-ECBD-11cf-8B85-00AA005B4383}

To reinstall only Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP, use the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}

Change the value data from 1 to 0, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor, and then install Internet Explorer 6.

Hope this help !

Say, I still get this message:

Windows Update Setup

A previous installation has pending work requiring a reboot. You need to restart your computer to complete that installation before running Internet Explorer Setup. Setup will now close.

How do I get rid of that message - of course, I have tried a hard reboot!

In Windows 2000 (while installing IE6 or 5.5), you need to find the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
You then need to locate and delete any values called PendingFileRenameOperations in that registry key MontrealSoft.com
