Hi helper,


i ran windows update to do update microsoft internet
explore 6 service pack 1, and some security update after
that.

the problem is keep asking me to reboot everytime i ran
update internet explore 6 service pack 1.

requiring a reboot. you need to restart your computer to
complete that installation before running internet
explorer setup. setu will now close"

I did reboot computer after download internet explore 6
service pack 1, but it keep do it everytime and everytime
go back windows update, the microsoft internet explore 6
servic pack 1 still there....

In REGEDIT go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

Locate the branch
PendingFileRenameOperations

Back up this branch.

Delete the contents with the exception of the "Default" data value.

Restart the computer

It should install fine now.

I'm getting the same error in Windows 2000, except that there's
nothing in that registry key other than the default value - which says
(value not set). Now what?
