I am struggling to install the connector software for our Windows 2012 Essentials server on a laptop running Windows 8 Professional.
I receive the error: "Cannot connect this computer to the server"
With the description: "Cannot connect the computer to the server because either another software installation is in progress, or, the computer has a restart pending. Either complete the installation process, or, restart the computer and try to connect
it again. If you still get this error after the computer resarts, see Troubleshoot connecting computers to the server for more information.
I have restarted the machine a number of times, so no restart is pending or other installation is running. Any other ideas on what could cause this would be very much appreciated.
