InstallerExpert created the topic: Windows Installer During BOOT!
I found a Win XP Pro machine where during boot, right after the blue Welcome screen and just before the desktop appears, the Windows Installer appears. It stays on for about 20 seconds whether or not you hit cancel and then everything continues as normal with seemingly no problems. Is there any way to determine just what its trying to install or simply a way to just remove it? Its puzzling and annoying but I don’t want to open up a can of worms and could just as well tell the owner to ignore it. Anyone with some ideas?
