Windows Install Cleanup

[kimig1]

Yesterday I downloaded XP SP3 I now have an entry on Start menu called Windows Installer Cleanup. It list almost all my programs and warns me that I may need to reinstall some applications on my system that used Windows Installer to be installed. Choosing remove will make permanent changes. this is scary! What should I do, please, gurus?

i have updated 3 computers with SP3 and have never seen this

Windows Installer Cleanup is a downloadable utility which can remove some applications, but can also break some.
Unless you need to use it, don't try it for the sake of it.

thankyou Calum - I am duly warned!

You're welcome.
I don't think it's actually a part of XP SP3, it may have been downloaded at another time.
