If either Windows Update or the MES setup program detects that a system restart is pending, the setup program will automatically display an information message and initiate a restart of the machine. To continue with the installation:
-
Restart your machine.
-
Run the installation again.
If the restart message reoccurs
Occasionally, restarting the computer does not clear the pending restart message. This can be caused by a value in the following registry key:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Value: PendingFileRenameOperations
If you find this key/value combination, check the registry value data to identify the component that is requiring system restart and contact your IT department or the component vendor for further help.
If you are still not able to proceed with installation, contact AVEVA Software Support.
