I am trying to install the Exchange 2010 Management Tools onto a client. We have Exchange 2010 running already elsewhere, but have been doing RDP to the server in order to add mailboxes, etc., need to have more administrators on their own Windows 7 client computers doing remote management.
- Windows 7 Enterprise (64bit) client computer in same domain as Exchange servers, UAC disabled, logged in as a domain administrator. Fresh restart. No updates pending. Noticed article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc164360(v=exchg.80).aspx "A Restart from a Previous Installation is Pending" and numerous posts that indicated I should clear "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile" or clear "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations" - but neither of these keys exist on my computer!
- Downloaded and unzipped Exchange2010-SP3-x64.exe to C:\Temp
- Ran C:\Temp\setup.exe
- Checked off the options: a) Error Reporting - Yes (Recommended). b) Custom Exchange Server Installation. c) Select "Management Tools". d) LEAVE UNSELECTED "Automatically install Windows Server roles and features required for Exchange".
- Get the following errors

Already have reviewed many articles on this topic, none seem to apply to my situation. I am going crazy trying to solve it.
