Repeated requests to Reboot when installing BOINC 7.2.47

This issue is covered by an FAQ http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewpostinthread?post=265943 and instructs to delete the RebootPending.txt file. I couldn't find this file in the Client Data Directory (usually c:\programdata\boinc). After looking around, I found the file in the Program Directory, c:\program files (x86)\BOINC. Deleting this file did solve the problem.

It would be helpful if the FAQ was updated to reflect this.
