Install Wants A Reboot - But A Reboot Doesn't Help!

well i went from IE7B3 to IE7RC1, and after having lots of problems with
..dll's, i managed to fix it, although IE didn't work, and i have now purged
IE completely from my PC, however as i now try to install IE7RC1 it tells me
that something else want s me to reboot, and that i should reboot and try
again, but nothing helps!

tried all that

nope, i don't want to have to system restore :S

What's worse, System Restore or formatting & reinstalling Windows (a Repair Install will only make matters worse)?

alright then, what exactly will a sys restore do to my pc?

it will restore the machine to its condition when the restore point was created (i.e., before installing IE7 RC1).
