Installer has detected that a previous operation did not complete.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm getting following error message while installing Information Steward 4.0 SP1.

Installer has detected that a previous operation did not complete. Do you want to resume?'

I guess this is due to the partial install that did not complete previously. I tried deleting the Information Steward folder from Program files and also relevant registry keys but that didn't resolve this issue.

As a last resort, I renamed InstallData folder in C drive but while installing IS it is not detecting already installed BI4 Platform and Data Services. Is there solution for this?? I don't want to corrupt my BI4 Platform and DS installation.

Thanks

I had the same problem a while ago. I solved this by

1. Go to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\InstallData

2. Under this file you'll find "InstallManifest.sqlite" file. You need to open this file through SQLite editor. You can download it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/ as an add-on to your firefox.

3. There are 13 tables in this database. Go to "DUTransaction" table. You will see "Committed" column change the value if there is any zero 0 value to 1.

4. Save and close the file.

5. Restart your installation.

This should solve your problems.

Perfect. I used DB Browser (SQLite) to edit the value. Initially it was giving read-only DB error but once I used Run as Administrator then DB browser allow me to update and after setting to 1, it worked.
