Here's an interesting one ...
I'm trying to install SQL Server 2000 Developers client tools on XP Pro Svc
Pk2. When I get to the "Computer Name Window" I get the following error
message:
"A previous program installation created pending file operations on the
installation machine. You must restart the computer before running setup."
Obviously I've restarted the machine, run Windows Update, etc. No luck.
I've also tried to look for any other "update operations" from other
products, but no luck there either.
Note: I've installed Virtual PC 2004 Svc Pk 2, XP 2000 Pro Svc Pk 2 and
this Dev SQL Server 2000 and Svc Pk 4 software successfully on this machine,
but under a guest OS. No problems. I've run the same Windows Updates here
too.
Any suggestions? Tons of fun!
Thanks so much!

I get an error, saying a previous instance of setup did not complete, select

Have removed the SQL foldersfrom \Program Files\xxx and the registry keys

the newsgroup archives and KB. If you don't find anything there, consider posting this to the .setup
group. And be prepared to include the sqlstp.log file.
