The pop-up dialog window message: "Setup has detected a pending restart.  Please reboot the system and rerun the installation"  appears when attempting to run the valid BVMS windows installer package.

BVMS Installer Pending Restart Message

This is a known Windows specific problem when another (non-BVMS) installer does not properly manage its creation and deletion of the “PendingFileRenameOperations” registry key. The most common user created way for this key value to be left resident in the system is when an installation prompts for a restart, yet the system is not expeditiously restarted.

• Solution

A. Restart the affected workstation

B. If the issue still persists, delete the orphaned "PendingFileRenameOperations" registry key value

1. Open a registry editor, such as Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe.  
2. Navigate to "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\"
3. In the right navigation pane, right-click the "PendingFileRenameOperations" key value and select delete
4. Close Registry Editor.
5. Run the software Installer again as Administrator

Note:  This message is not a Bosch product failure message. This is a problem within windows and it's registry clean-up handling.  This is a Windows work around.
