Launch the SQL Server Setup program (setup.exe) from SQL Server installation media. After prerequisites and system verification, the Setup program will display the SQL Server Installation Center page. Click Maintenance in the left-hand navigation area, and then click Repair to start the repair operation.
Make sure the machine is of the required spec to run the version of SQL you are installing. I.e. if it is SQL EE then make sure you have NT EE. For SQL 7 you need a 100% PENTIUM compatible chip or an Alpha - older Cyrix/IBM chips that do not support the full pentium instruction set will not work.
SQL Server 2008 is not supported on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016.

"You can open Regedit, and modify this key"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager" and delete any value in "PendingFileRenameOperations""
An easiest solution is installing by command line ignoring this verification:
setup.exe /ACTION=INSTALL /SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck
To skip reboot/restart check from the command line, use /SKIPRULES=RebootRequiredCheck
