re: Question about 'Windows Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application' Wednesday, December 15, 2004 at 7:34 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mike King (1 messages posted) I found the file at "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data". What I did was close all of my Office applications, and then I renamed the "data.bak" file to "data.bak.bak". Next, I started Outlook. Outlook told me it was installing something and I needed to insert the Office CD to continue. Then, I canceled the installation and close Outlook. Final, I renamed "data.bak.bak" back to what it was. This is how I solved the problem. I hope that this will work for you. On Wednesday, December 3, 2003 at 8:22 pm, Aimee wrote: >Where is the Data.bak file supposed to be located?
