    Windows Installer
    « on: July 07, 2008, 01:31:48 PM »
    Hi, my name is aJ. I have windows XP Media Center.

    When ever I run a program or my computer boots and programs are auto started my windows installer keeps trying to install certain programs such as Unload, PSPrinters08. I can't install them or cancel they just keep coming up. Then when they do finally go away It will come up again after I run another program.

    I'll take screen shots of what happens so it's easier to understand.

    This is what I get when the bar finishes loading:


    This is when I hit OK:


    This is when I hit Cancel:


    As you can see I can't solve the problem by saying yes or no, it just keep coming up when I launch programs. I can't find these programs psprinters08, or unload anywhere on my computer.

    So if I could please get some assistance on this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

    You may need to repair the Windows installer.

    Re-register MsiExec
    • Go to Start > Run
    • Type or Copy and Paste the following:
      • MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER then hit enter.
    • Then again Start > Run
    • Now type or Copy and Paste the following:
      • MSIEXEC /REGSERVER then hit enter.
    No visible change will take place. Try to install/uninstall again.

    If this method fails, you will need to reinstall the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI)
    Windows Installer 3.1
    Windows Installer 4.5

      I also did this,installed Windows Installer 3.1 and it still tries to install and gives the same errors.
