This might allow a failed installation to complete successfully. If you see this error after you've restarted the server more than two or three times, try reinstalling any programs or Windows updates that you've installed recently. Typically, you only need to restart the server to get past this error, but you might get this error again after a restart (for example, additional program or Windows updates also require a restart). You'll continue to see this error each time you run Exchange Setup if this happens (the failed installation can't fix the condition that indicates a restart is required). If the installation of a previous program or Windows update didn't complete successfully, Windows and other programs might think a restart is required.

When this happens, you need to restart the computer before other programs can be installed. Some programs or updates need to modify or replace files that are currently in use. When programs and Windows updates are installed, they make changes to files that are stored on your computer.


The computer needs to be restarted before Setup can continue Įxchange Setup can't continue because it detected a pending reboot to complete the installation of other programs or Windows updates.
