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\Control\Session Manager"
PendingFileRenameOperations

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\
Auto Update"
RebootRequired

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\UpdateExeVolatile"
