windows installer configuring menace advice

(1/3) > >>

jraju:
I have installed after uninstalling the ms office 2007 totally using msoft clean tool and then reinstalled.This i had to do to get some of the add on to work . While everything works fine, the configuring of msi installer of microsoft office is always annoying at the start up. As if it is trying to install something. I have tried all sort of ideas by msoft and other forums. Nothing could stop this behaviour
    As the last sort, i have gone to the windows installer services, in the services. msc and then disabled it to get rid of the problem. now the problem is over.
   Hi, shane, is this advisable. I do not need any updates for ms office or anyother program.
Would this do any harm to the computer, in installing some other products. Can i continuously disable it as i do not find any clue to the problem     
       Event viewer id suggets problem 1001, that some wisp and content not found and so on. Exact reason not known for this behaviour. Pl advise and also tell me how to clean the installer cache of any pending updates, which i would have opted previously. Pl exp reply

Shane:
Always do updates.

When I have problems with MIS installer popping up like that I use this tool to remove the troubling program

Once removed from MSI properly I reinstall the program and it normally fixes it :-)

Hi, Shane before i try this link let me know how to reinstall MSI. Is it different from Windows installer? Moreover, I find so much files in windows installer folder . What those files are doing there. Normal cleaning programs like ccleaner, does not erase those data. Are those necessary, will it overwrite itself.
              Kindly also let me know whether my action of disabling msi installer is a good thing.
                     Now there is no popup, because i disabled msi installer service in the services.msc
                       Expecting reply
                                                                   

Shane:
It doesnt reinstall the windows installer. It allows you to remove programs stored in the Windows installer.
