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.
