Windows Installer on Startup


Recommended Posts

Recently I updated some software (HP, Symantec) and in the end I now have a

situation that upon start-up, the Windows Installer begins to attempt an

installation of 'PhotoGallery'. I do not know what this is (maybe an HP

program), but I do not wish to install this and have to cancel this each time

I restart XP.

 

Does anyone know where this instruction to begin a program installation

resides? Is it in the Registry? A startup .BAT file? It is not in the

Startup Program Group. I would like to delete this instruction from my

startup routine. Can anyone help? Much appreciated.

Hi Bruce P,

 

Try d/loading and running the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=290301

Select only PhotoGallery from the list of programs that are presented to you

when you initiate the cleanup utility.
