I have a question about Windows
Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application:
Well, I've got the same problem. Unfortunately, none of the fixes have worked so
far. It appears when I click on Network Neighborhood, to install Publisher. It also
appears at random apps.
I used the windows installer cleanup utility, which disabled officeXP of course.
When I went to reinstall it, I couldn't. I got error messages saying something about
can't install; something about patch. I tried again, gave up and did a system restore.
This is with Office XP, windows XP home, all patches and security updates on office
and xp, and no spyware, adware, trojan or virus has ever graced this machine.
Right now I've got it disabled, but if I click on network neighborhood, it still
appears, flashes several times before going away. Before I couldn't even make it
go away without the three finger salute, done several times.
Anyone have any suggestions? Oh, and I have done a repair install of xp also, just
in case.
