The Windows Installer keeps popping up repeatedly tried to install Win Media Gallery

Windows Installer continues to appear repeatedly, trying to install Win Media Gallery.  When I accept it tells me it cannot locate a msi file - defeats what it started - only for the popup to come back.  I took the drive using the disable windows in the control panel features, but that doesn't stop her.

My OS is Windows 7HE - which is bang up to date.
I tried virus checkers etc, but the installer appears everytime I open one of any number of programs.   The onl; are there common thing is always wanting to install windows media gallery - which I do not think that I have ever used!
Help, please

With regard to fixing or uninstallation of what would be your call.

Windows live essentials 2011 includes, direct mail / live photo gallery / live movie maker and a few other features that I don't remember.

Everything I personally is manufacturer of Gallery and photo film installed.

If you can activate the program and then do a selective activation like me and never use it :)

At least you can review some of them and decide for yourself and maybe get rid of the popup in the process?

See you soon.

    The desktop of your computer, click on the tab "Start", usually located at the bottom left of the screen (on Vista, it's maybe the windows symbol instead of the word 'Start').

    Now, find and click on the program title 'run '. Vista users can locate this program by typing "run" in the area of research at the bottom of the menu 'start '.

    Once you open 'Run', type 'MSCONFIG' in the empty box and click 'OK '. This will open the System Configuration utility.

    With the open System Configuration utility, select the tab "Services".

    Scroll down the list of services (it may be advantageous to click on the 'service' column to sort the services by alphabetical order) until you find the program "Windows Installer".

    Now, click on the checkbox next to the name of the Windows Installer and click on the button 'Disable' at the bottom of the Configuration of the system.

  • The Windows Installer appears when not claimed after you install the new printer.

    I installed a Canon S400 printer and now when I open a folder, file or no matter what shortcut (either by double clicking or right click Open) MSI is trying to install one of the two applications PDF I had already installed. After canceling the installation program, the file opens. How can I fix? I am running Windows XP SP2. Please do not say reinstall applications, I have uninstalled them because they proved to be useless junk.

    If you don't want to reinstall applications, then use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to remove these entries.

    Hello

    1. have you made software changes recently?

    Method 1.
    It seems that there is a background app that launches the installer of Windows. We can perform a boot minimum troubleshooting to find the same thing. You need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow the steps as explained in the article to reset the computer to start as usual.

    Method 2.
    Also, I recommend reregister you the Installer engine.
    Here's how:
    a. Click Start, click Accessories and then click command prompt.
    b. at the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER after each line:
     
    MSIExec /Unregister
     
    MSIExec/regserver

  • Windows Installer keeps trying to install msi.status but it will not install

    Windows Installer keeps trying to install msi.status but it will not install and I think he got the other updates to the installation.  How difficult or get rid of it?

    Hello
    In my view, that it is a software HP printer problem. Please, try the following:

    If you have the HP software on your PC support (printers, etc.)
    the disc when the pop-up window displays a location '1'. Click Browse
    then open the HP disc in the CD drive. A named icon status should
    appear. Click on this icon and load. This will get rid of the
    Status.msi loop.

    If you do not have the original disc. Uninstall HP Photosmart all-in-One Driver software and HP update program - then only reinstall the HP Photosmart all-in-One Driver software. Do not update, just live with it. The web link for the full features of the software download is provided below.

    Original title: update

    Windows Installer keeps trying to install an update for Paint Shop Photo Album, which is no longer available. How he remove without disabling the windows installer? I installed v4.5 installer that allows enabling or disabling updates. Paint Shop appears but the box is not checked, so the installer must ignore, right?

    Using msconfig, I can find nothing in startup or services that will completely eliminate the problem, Evin with instaler disabled, Setup window will start to blink during boot computer has been scanned and cleaned with Security Essentials, SuperAntiSpy and Spybot. \

    There is a key in registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\ referring to it.

    What is no longer available - Paint Shop Photo Album or the update?

    If you have uninstalled Paint Shop Photo Album, you might see if running free Revo Uninstaller is able to get rid of leftovers that could cause problems.
