Solution: .Net 3.5 is required and its mandatory as part of SQL Server 2008 Installation, hence when you start SQL Server 2008 setup it will first install .Net 3.5. Actually when .Net 3.5 installs it will start downloading the CAB file from the installation location (say your SQL setup folder), for this you need to enable windows update service else it will fail. To correct this problem make sure you have not disabled windows update service.

Question: I’m getting reboot pending error while installing SQL Server 2008. Sample is shown below

RebootRequiredCheck Checks if a pending computer restart is required. A pending restart can cause Setup to fail. Failed A computer restart is required. You must restart this computer before installing SQL Server.

Solution:

When you try to install SQL Server 2008 you may get the error as pending reboot shown above. Even after rebooting the system you will be thrown with the error below.

To overcome this error you can try the below workarounds.

  • Open Regedit
  • Find the key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager“
  • Either rename the “PendingFileRenameOperations” value to “PendingFileRenameOperations_old” or delete “PendingFileRenameOperations“. (don’t restart your machine, just start the setup)
  • Execute SQL 2008 setup

If you still get the error, try the below workaround too.

  • Check the below registry keys for any values for reboot, if anything is there just delete it and then try with the setup

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

Hmmm, tried the workarounds above but still the same error? Try to post the same in MSDN forums.
