    Hi

    I keep getting an error on the Connector software every time it is either launched from a saved file or using browser to connect to WHS server using servername/connect on the second loaded page it reads

    "Cannot connect the computer to the server because either another software installation is in progress, or, the computer has a restart pending. Either complete the installation process, or, restart the computer and try to connect again."

    There is only a Close button option and in spite of checking there are no software installations or updates pending and also checking there is no restart pending, once the PC has once again been restarted the same error appears!

    Please help as none of the attempts to discover if there is an issue with networking or using a troubleshooter allows for any resolution of the issue.
