[fixed] "A reboot is required after a previous action. Reboot your system and try it again" (1 Viewer)

[metropolis]

Hi, I have a problem with Windows 7 64 bit trying to install any kind of SVN, try to install Setup-MediaPortal-svn-1.1.8.28181.exe and I get is "A reboot is required after a previous action. Reboot your system and try it again".
I obviously have tried re-boots, shuttiongs down, googling and trying various registry edits, I have even done a complete fresh win 7 install, SP1, MP 1.2.0 rc, but STILL get the same problem.
What flag in the registry is the SVN is checking on, so i can manualy adjust this flag and continue with my life. Does anybody know what registry key this would be in windows 7 64 bit please?

Many kind regards.

Have you got the following installed?

Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update

Install the x86 version.

Then try again.

Can you upload your log files also.

Thanks.

I had the same issue too. I resolved it by deleting a certain file in one of the MP folders that locked the installation process. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the file or even which directory it was and I'm traveling so I can't even check my recycle bin for you to see which one it was. Scan through the MP, TV, Users, and SQL folders and you'll likely see it like I did.

Hi doug, how did you go about discovering which file, or files, was locked and prevented you from installing the SVN?

Cheers.

Hello mate,

Check out the following reg key:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations

Is there anything listed?

Hi Jay_UK, yep, already looked there, no luck.

How about?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\AutoUpdate\RebootRequired

or:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile\flags

Or.....

Do a reg search for: PendingFileRenameOperations and make sure nothing is defined (this key might be in several places)

Or......

Download this file from MS: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=40751

Place it on c:\

Then save the following as a vbs file and run it:

Set UpdateSession = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.Session")
Set UpdateServiceManager = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager")
Set UpdateService = UpdateServiceManager.AddScanPackageService("Offline Sync Service", "c:\wsusscan.cab")
Set UpdateSearcher = UpdateSession.CreateUpdateSearcher()

WScript.Echo "Searching for updates..." & vbCRLF

UpdateSearcher.ServerSelection = 3 ' ssOthers

UpdateSearcher.ServiceID = UpdateService.ServiceID

Set SearchResult = UpdateSearcher.Search("RebootRequired=")

Set Updates = SearchResult.Updates

If searchResult.Updates.Count = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "There are no applicable updates."
WScript.Quit
End If

WScript.Echo "List of applicable items on the machine when using wssuscan.cab:" & vbCRLF

For I = 0 to searchResult.Updates.Count-1
Set update = searchResult.Updates.Item(I)
WScript.Echo I + 1 & "> " & update.Title
Next

WScript.Quit

Well, it wasn't the SVN, it was the Beta. It was a late night when I finally fixed it so my recollection could be fuzzy, but if I recall correctly, the file was in the MySQL installation folder. I was installing over top of an existing MySQL installation and the install went awry an kept asking me to reboot. Try deleting the entire MySQL program folder and user data folder and try the install again.

EDIT: oh...now I see you've done a fresh Win7 install. I guess my suggestion might not be relevant.

Hi there,

Try installing:

vcredist_x64.exe
vcredist_x86.exe

There were also another MS patch I used on my W7 x64 system...trying to remeber it
