Starting VB app causes Windows Installer to startWhen I start a VB app on a Windows XP SP2 machine, I get a dialog from
Windows Installer with the following dialog: Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office XP... Gathering required information. If I sign on as a different user, I don't get the dialog. I thought it was an issue with his profile, so I re-created it but I still get the same error. The program had worked fine until a couple of days ago. There hasn't been any changes to the machine at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks You might try microsoft.public.windows.msi
I've seen a similar question asked there. If I remember correctly the advice involved figuring out what software didn't properly finish its install earlier and is now trying to finish. -- Show quoteHide quotemayayanaX***@mindXXspring.com (Remove Xs for return email.) tk <timkelley***@mennies.com> wrote in message news:eMIblVnJGHA.2012@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > When I start a VB app on a Windows XP SP2 machine, I get a dialog from > Windows Installer with the following dialog: Please wait while Windows > configures Microsoft Office XP...

You delete (accident maybe) a binary component that installer registered. Alway use remove from Control Panel to remove Installer jobs. Try to find original msi file, install and remove. -- Show quoteHide quote<Harvey Triana /> Drilling View© Developer (52 oil wells in 2005) "tk" <timkelley***@mennies.com> escribió en el mensaje news:eMIblVnJGHA.2012@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > When I start a VB app on a Windows XP SP2 machine, I get a dialog from > Windows Installer with the following dialog: Please wait while Windows > configures Microsoft Office XP...
