re: Question about 'Windows Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application' Wednesday, June 11, 2003 at 10:14 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by plloyd (1 messages posted) Even when you choose custom and run all from my computer, the installer still wants to run. You can get rid of it by: Start > run > type: gpedit.msc > local computer policy > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > double click "disable Windows Installer " choose always and apply. The problem is that the installer is then turned off and you may have to turn it back on at a later point. This works and is safe, but it is a hack!
