Everytime when i start windows an annoying dialog pops up after logon. Application 
xxx installation is broken do you want to fix it? 

Yes: it tries to start a non existent msi installer.
No: nothing happens

Registry cleaners didn't help. 
Manual removing of all program xxx entries from registry didn't help either. (maybe 
there are still something that I can't find?) 
Autorun values in registry doesn't have anything.
No spyware or viruses. 
Windows installer clean up didn't help.

Any ideas how to get rid of this? And thanks in advance!

Try searching the reg for that installer? Looked in the Startup folder? If you're sure your system is clean of all "malware," it has to be somewhere. Try all variants of the name of the program, and of its developer/vendor, and of any names in the message(s) you get.
