VideoRipper Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 See what applications are set to startup at user-login:"Start"->"Run"-> type: "msconfig" (without the quotes)Go to the "Startup"-tab and uncheck the box next to that installer.You can also find (some of) these settings in the registry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunGreetz,Peter.

cluberti Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 If an MSI installer is trying to start when you log on, it's very likely that some installed MSI app is trying to repair itself (for whatever reason). It would be useful to get a verbose log of the installer and see what happens, rather than trying to band-aid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
