I have a possible solution for Windows
Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application:
This has worked for me on many systems, the symptom was windows installer appearing
every time Office 2000 is started.
Forcing a reinstall of windows installer has worked in every case for me. Here's
the step by step:
1. Download the lastest windows installer (Instmsi.exe) and place in a temp directory
such as c:\temp.
2. From a command prompt, run the installer with the /c switch
(ex: c:\temp\Instmsi.exe /c)
3. A dialog will be displayed asking for a destination to extract the files to.
Select your temp directory again (c:\temp)
4. In that temp directory, run the Instmsi.msi file.
5. Also in that temp directory, right-click on the Msi.inf file, and select 'Install'
from the context menu.
6. You should be prompted to reboot your computer. Installation is complete.
