Windows Could not update the file %1 from %2

[David]

I downlaoded the latest patch for IE 6.o (Windows ME)it
prompts for a reboot. Before Windows starts up I get a
message that repeats multiple times on the screen. The
message is Windows Could not update the file %1 from %2.

I have to press any key to continue. The PC reboots but
the patch is not applied.

Any one seen this?

Since David never bothered to tell us WHICH version of Windows that he
is using, your links are appropriate for 95-based versions of Windows.
However, for NT-based versions of Windows in which an installation has
to replace an inuse file, I'm wondering if the problem isn't due to a
expected file that is missing on a reboot.

To replace inuse files, the installation program (or using Microsoft's
inuse.exe utility) will add entries to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control
Session Manager
PendingFileRenameOperations

See if this registry key is defined. If so, look at the list of files.
Maybe one of them doesn't exist anymore so the bootup operation fails to
move a non-existent file. I would have thought that if the rename/move
operation had failed on the first reboot that this key would still get
deleted and not be present on subsequent reboots. Maybe not.
