We are trying to uninstall a database on a SQL Server 2005 box, and I keep
getting a 'Pending Reboot Requiment' message which prevents me from going any
further.

Some posts suggested I clean out the PendingFileRenameOperations values key
from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager and
reboot again. I tried this, but the problems persists.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am having the same problem when trying to install the latest security update for SQL Express 2005. Has anyone found a way to clear the reboot requirement?

Thanks
