re: Question about 'Windows Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application' Friday, January 4, 2002 at 5:12 am Posted by Skoob (66 messages posted) Hi Vincent. The reason you keep getting that Installer message is because you probably chose the Typical setup, and any features that didn't install will have to be run from the CD. Try reinstalling MSOffice2k and choosing Custom, click Next, then you will see a window w/a bunch of drives w/all the applications listed. click on the top drive: Microsoft Office2000, then click on Run all from My Computer. When Office finishes installing, reboot, and I can guarantee that you won't see that installer again. The reason I know this is because I just installed MSOffice2000 on my xp partition and everything is on my hard drive (works very well, too!) Hope this helps!

My issue is that every time I open Outlook a message pops up that I need to insert my Microsoft Office 2K Disk 2 to complete the install program. I hit cancel and the box goes away, I can check messages, run my calendar do everything I want to do in Outlook just fine. It annoys me that this message always pops up and I can’t get it to go away. I am at a loss to fix this, I tried the re-install process for Office 2K and that didn't work because tells me I have an error and can't reinstall. The message reads: " Error 1919 configing ODBC data source MS Access database ODBC error 6 component not found in registry verify that the file MS Access exist and that you can access it". I have verified that Access exist (I think) and even tried to uninstall / reinstall just Access. Nothing worked to stop the Windows Installer message when opening Outlook. BTW Access opens just fine and seems to work. Any ideas or suggestions for me?

This will copy everything on the CD onto your hard disk and you will never see that message again. However, there is one caveat to this solution. It takes one Heck of a lot of disk space (approx. 1.5 GB). Its amazing how much they can fit onto those CD's. Anyway, it worked for me.

It has to do with profiles. Look up "Default User" on Microsoft's KB. You can create a new profile called "User" & give it admin rights. Then open ALL the office programs you want to run & do all the necessary settings to get them to open & close OK. Then you copy the "User" profile to the "c:\documents and settings\default user" profile. Be sure to use the Profiles tab in the System Properties. Any new user that logs in after that will be using all the default user settings.

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!

When I start OutlookXP Windows Installer starts and asks me to put a CD in for a program that I once installed a long time ago. I have since reinstalled WinXP and OfficeXP at least twice. I don't know why or how this is happening. Here is what it says. “Insert the Outlook Pocket Contact Synchronizer 1.2 disk and click OK” I have that program as a compressed EXE that was downloaded from Microsoft.

I had the following event log entry display: Detection of product '{91510409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9}', feature 'OfficeUserData', component '{C9AF9050-C8BE-11D1-9C67-0000F81F1B38}' failed. The resource 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\UserData' does not exist. Looking at my personal laptop (I try to keep that well configured), I copied the entry and value and applied that to the problem child - that is, I created 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\UserData' as a DWORD entry with a value of 0x00000001. Without needing reboot the problem laptop, the VB IDE started up as it should (and without the Windows Installer dialog box). Hope this helps some of you.

Setup the program, look for it in your start menu, run it, scroll down the list for "faulty" installation package (in my case it was Logitech Quickcam) and erase the installation package. This corrected the problem I was having - a window's installer window opening over and over again when I tried to start NoClone 3.1. Hope this helps any some of you.

If you have a problem uninstalling a particular program - reinstall the program(which creates a new uninstallation program) and then re-uninstall the program. Hope this helps, if not, post again, I'll see what else I can think of.

Well, then you have you tried using windows installer to remove Microsoft Office's installation program (if that was that last program you installed)? Anyone else?

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.

But would not happen with Access, Money, or anything else. When Installer would start, it always wanted to install Visual Basic (which is installed and was installed last year.) A google search turned up a number of possible solutions, but the first one I tried was to - open Microsoft Word, - (clicked cancel at all the Windows Installer prompts until it went away. - on Microsoft Word, clicked Help, Detect & Repair. - had to put in my Microsoft Office installation CD, but after finishing, the problem had gone away.
