OFF2000: Windows Installer Appears Every Time a Program Is Started

[pakman]

The article relating to this problem doesn't work. How do I stop windows
installer appearing everytime I start a Office application?

 

[Donnajay]

I have the same frickin problem, I thought it was the New IE7 doing it so I
uninstaleld it and went back ti IE 6 and it still happens! I would love to
uninstall it but I dont want to lose my saved items......

If you do not have the correct permissions then what can happen is the
changes the Windows Installer makes can not be permanently saved. So
each time you start an Office application it continues to attempt to
make the necessary changes Office needs in order to run correctly.
Make sure you are logged on with Administrator privileges and allow
the Windows Installer to complete.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

I am using Vista 5728 and Office 2007 B2TR, but still have this problem even

I am logged on as an administrator. I have tried methods #1 and #2 as
described in the topic "Windows Installer runs every time program is
launched". I can't try method #3 because I don't have MS Access installed.

I recently uninstalled MS Publisher and ever since then, I have Windows
Installer two or three times every time I launch anything, be it a MS product
or not.

Any suggestions much appreciated - it is driving me nuts! Thanks, Rosie
