I haven't seen this particular issue, but, I wonder if perhaps this might be a permission issue.  Do you
Get the same error if you install as administrator?

We encounter the message below when installing Symantec Endpoint Protection, however the reboot does not resolve the 
installation issue.  The current resolution is to go into the Registry Editor and do a Find command on 
"PendingFileRenameOperations", then delete the instances of this key.  Has anyone found a better solution?
