You may want to look at the following registy keys (via regedit)
If these keys were not cleared after an install it may appear that the
install is still in progress:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Session Manager"
PendingFileRenameOperations

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\WindowsUpdate\
Auto Update"
RebootRequired

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Upd ateExeVolatile"
