When installing some software the installer stops with the message 'The
application has a pending system reboot. Please reboot and restart the
installer.' I have performed several soft and hard reboots. I have also
followed the solution to delete the 'filerenameoperations' key from the
registry. both have not solved the problem.

Is there other registry keys I need to look for to stop this error.

Either look in the registry or use msconfig to check the entries under these
two keys:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

See if there are any entries for the software you're installing. As always,
make a backup of the registry before doing any manual changes.

Will this apply even though the error only occurs when the installer is run
and not at any other time. I might be wrong but do these not run at startup
thus making the error appear at start up? (FYI I am working on a different
computer until this is solved and will try your instructions as soon as I can
get to the other computer.)

The software is the connection software for a '3' (Huawei E156G HSDPA USB
stick) mobile Broadband dongle.
