i am trying to install sql server on windows xp pro, but each time i try to install it it keeps telling me that "a previous program installation created pending file operations on the installation machine. you must restart your pc before running setup." i have done that but the error remains. any ideas?

1. Open the Registry and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager 2. Locate and delete any "PendingFileRenameOperations" values in the key. 3. Click "Yes" when prompted to delete. 5. Quit registry and rerun the software install
Life's more painless for the brainless.
