When I try to install any Install4j installer (with some of our installers that work correctly correctly), I get the following installation error on my Windows 10 laptop:
Installation / uninstallation of the previoius program is not complete. You must restart your computer to complete this installation.
After the computer restarts, run the installer again to complete the installation of the program name.
Rebooting my computer does not help. Removing "PendingFileRenameOperations" from the registry also did not help, even after restarting (from https://support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/help/310335/error-message-the-installation-removal-of-a-previous-program -was-not-completed ). Install4j logs do not mention this problem, so nothing helps.
This problem started after performing some software uninstallations (both install4j and not install4j), and some of them got stuck and needed to be stopped using the task manager.
