Sage ACT! "Reboot Pending" Installer Error

Posted on by stephen

We saw this issue when installing Sage ACT! 2011 for a client on a Windows 7 machine earlier this week. The installer kept prompting that a reboot was pending and necessary to proceed.

After a reboot, the installer gave the same message. We went through many different hoops and troubleshooting, including deleting the registry values as outlined in this article: Sage Software Online Support Article

Nothing seemed to work, and no answer was available online. After many headaches, the solution turned out relatively simple; We needed to log in as the domain admin for his network and reboot.

So, a relatively rare issue, but if this happens to you, maybe you can go ahead and give it a shot! At least now an additional possible step is available on the net for this error.

ACT! & Windows 8 Phone Dialogue

Posted on by stephen

One rather minor issue we see from time to time is the Windows 8 prompt to fill out additional phone & modem info every time you launch ACT!.  This appears to have no effect on ACT! performance, but it can be a nuisance to fill/close out each time. The consensus on this error is that […]
