re: Question about 'Windows Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application' Tuesday, March 28, 2006 at 3:17 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by moose (8 messages posted) Hi all, I'm experiencing the windows installer problem. It pops up everytime I use a Windows application it seem ie. Internet Explorer, MS Word Help, System Restore etc. I figure it's due to the MS Office 2003 trial edition that I removed a while ago using add/remove programs. I had to reinstall Office 2000 b/c it said extensions were missing. I'm wondering if the windows installer will disappear if I use the Windows cleanup utility to remove the ms office 2003 installer package. Or will this screw up my ms office 2000? Thanks a bunch.
