| Not to be obvious, but did you try rebooting? This is a common problem when a previous install is pending. |

Here's a googled solution:
Locate the following Windows NT registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Delete any PendingFileRenameOperations values.
You may also need to check for pending file rename operations in the
following registry keys:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce |

| Thanks a lot. the solution worked as a charm. Only doing the first step i.e. clearing pending file rename operations in SessionManager key solved the problem. |
