Sorry about this. I don't understand how you get this error after a 
reboot. In any case, I did a bit of googling and came across this article.

Try removing the registry keys as the article suggests. Afterwards, run 
the 2.1.0 uninstaller and use the cleanup procedures I posted to make 
sure everything looks good. Then reboot the machine and install 2.1.0 
rc1. Please let me know if you see any other issues. I will do whatever 
I can to help.

Thanks,

-Matthew
