SQL - Installing SQL Express 2008 - Restart Computer Failed problem

Repeatedly MS SQL Express 2008 installation package asked to restart computer when I wanted to install SQL 2008 Express on a machine.

I needed to check system's pending file rename operations registry key. It should be cleared after rebooting the system. If not, clear it and just click on Re-run or try it again.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
