Guest upcomingevent Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I am having the Windows Installer problem where the installer tries over and over again to install SOMETHING. I have no idea what is being installed. 1) Is there some installer feature to list all products installed and the success of the process? 2) Can I just disable this? 3) Any other suggestions? Are there any products which can solve this annoying problem?
