I am trying to install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Win 8.1 x64 bit machine. When running the installer, I get the Reboot Required check failing the install.
I have tried rebooting, no difference.
I have looked in the following registry location to remove data from the " PendingFileRenameOperations" registry file:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
The above mentioned file does not exists, instead I have FileRenameOperations, but there is no data, just a Default value - it is blank.
I have tried using the following Powershell command to run the .exe without being prompted for the Reboot Check:
- C:\FredISVSQL2008Workgroup\setup.exe \SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck
The command runs, the installer opens but the same reboot check is appearing.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks
