Yeah nice utility but didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. These installers are trying to install software and the place they are being called from isn't found in the usual suspects (like start up dir, run areas in the reg, etc)

Someone has to know how to keep these friggin things from installing

Subject: [hardware] [H] Installer on startup


Got a Win2K machine in the shop here. Every time it starts up it tries to install some apps. Since the media for the apps is not present it will not install and take multiple cancels attempts before it goes away. Searched the registry and the autoexec and stuff and still I cannot find where these apps are being called from. Any ideas? I would install the apps just to make it go away, but the customer doesn't know what they are or how they got on in the first place.
