OS Win2K. During IE 6 install, I'm getting the error
message A previous installation has pending work
requiring a reboot. You need to restart your computer to
complete the installation before running Internet
Explorer Setup. Setup will now close. MS Knowledgebase
Article 312444 tells me to edit the registry key called
PendingFileRenameOperations, and remove that part of the
key. I found a key called FileRenameOperations in the
registry. Is that it? I can't find a file called Pending
FileRenameOperations. Please help.
