Please restart windows before installing new programs error in Vista

JustFunctioning Posts: 5 Rating: (0)	Hi, I'm trying to install Step 7 Pro 2006 in Vista Home Premium. I keep getting the error "Please restart windows before installing new programs" when I run the setup.exe I've tried running in Compatibility mode for XP Pro SP2 and also running as Admin. Anyone any ideas of how to get around this ?? Many thanks

You have to go into the registry to remove an entry for "pending filename operations" or something like that. You can search for the "Please restart windows" and you will get to a FAQ that describes it exactly. If it has anything to do with VISTA in stead of XP I do not know.
