I am attempting to install SQL Express 2008 (from SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe)
on e new 64bit machine running Windows 7 Home Premium.

In the SQL Serve Installation Center I selected "New SQL Server stand-
alone ....". The Setup Support Rules show that "Restart Computer"
Failed and suggest a reboot.

After a restart I get exactly the same results.

Can any one help me with this problem?

Many thanks in advance.

Then that happens you often have some crap in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager
I think the name is PendingFileRename or somesuch. Delete this
and try again.

Disclaimer: I have never looked at Win7, so I cannot vouch for that things
are the same there.

Many thanks for the suggestion, Erland.

There is an entry called PendingFilRenameOperations under System/
CurrentControlSet/Control/SessionManager. The Data is:
"\??\C:\Windows\TEMP\logishrd\LVPrcInj05.dll
\??\C:\Windows\TEMP\logishrd\
\??\C:\Windows\TEMP\logishrd\LVPrcInj06.dll
\??\C:\Windows\TEMP\logishrd\

Removing this entry does not solve the restart issue.

I have only had Win 7 for a week, so no zip about it - but I'm rapidly
finding my way around it!

Did you check so that it did not come back? Did you reboot after this
cleaning up?

I'm sorry, but I don't have any more suggestions.

The files in logishrd belong to Logitech Vid. Even though I removed
all the PendingFileRename... entries I can't delete them. That removal
operation and a reboot didn't fix the SQL problem either.

Thanks for you help.

Hm, what you do mean by "I removed them ... I can't delete them". Are
the entries still there? Is the value PendingFileRenameOperation still
there?

Sorry for the lack of clarity. The registry entries were deleted and
didn't come back. The C:\Windows\TEMP\logishrd\LVPrcInj06.dll and C:
\Windows\TEMP\logishrd\LVPrcInj05.dll can't be deleted.

But the SQL installer still says a restart is requied.

I can't imagine that this is because of the DDL files. Sorry, but I
have no idea.

Many thanks for your help Erland. I just discovered the SQL Server
Engineers place, so I asked them if it is supposed to run on Win 7
Home Premium.

If it isn't it should tell you. Or? After all, Windows 7 came out
after SQL 2008, so it's a little difficult to cover.
