How to Create a suspended file on SQL Server 2000

The following prompt appears when installing SQL Server 2000:
"Previous ProgramInstall a file that has been suspended on the installation computer. You must restart the computer before running the installer ."
Follow the prompts to restart the computer and then install it. The same prompt still appears. This is because the installer has left some information in the system registry during the previous installation process and thus cannot be installed. Delete the following key-value information to install the agent:
Enter Regedit in the running window, open registry editor, find pendingfilerenameoperations in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ controlset001 \ Control \ Session Manager, delete the key value, and Close Registry Editor. Re-Install SQL Server 2000. In this case, you can normally enter the expected installation interface.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager stores snapshots of the current system session, while pendingfilerenameoperations records an unsuccessful file RENAME operation, SQL Server may use this key value during installation and records operations on temporary files during installation. If SQL Server discovers this key value when the installation process starts, it considers that the previous installer is not complete, and thus rejects the installation process. In principle, any program that modifies this key value should delete this key value at the end or when the system restarts, however, if this operation is not performed for some reason, SQL Server will naturally come to an incorrect conclusion.

This key value is a temporary project of the installer. You only need to clear the corresponding application.
