Hi there all
I hope nobody minds if I answer my own question :)
According to the FR3 Advanced Concepts guide p206, if 'Overwrite existing
drivers" is enabled, the drivers are always replicated when IMA starts.
I reconfigured the replicated printer drivers without this option enabled
and it appears to have solved the problem.

Subject: [THIN] PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Key prevents app
installation
Hi there all,
While performing some weekend maintenance/tuning I've observed a fairly
strange behaviour.
During the deployment of an application to the farm, the installation fails
with the following error:
"A previous setup program has made changes that require the system to be
restarted. Restart your system, then rerun setup."
After some sleuthing it was determined that everytime the server restarts,
the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\PendingFileRenameOperations key is populated with a list of files
for every printer driver that is installed on the farm. The presence of this
key is what causes the application installation to fail.
If we remove the key, set the spooler to manual startup and then reboot, the
application installation completes successfully.
It looks like IMA printer replication is populating this key but I can find
no documentation from Citrix or anywhere on the web describing why this is
happening. In fact I can see no reason that the replication should need to
take place at all since printer drivers across all servers in the farm are
in sync and no new drivers have been added to trigger a replication.
Environment is Windows 2000 sp3, MF XPe FR2.
Has anyone else seen this?
