Hi,

I get this requestor from Windows Installer everytime I boot and it
comes up a dozen times at least.. the string I was able to copy is:

C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\{54C0D94A-F467-4ABC-9D02-6E58748668D4}\

I want to get rid of it.

Thank you.

Also check these registy files by going to Start --> Run --> Regedit
then scroll down to the folder

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

see if there are any weird random character file names. Be careful not
to delete anything you are not sure of.

and I dont have the original install files on the computer.
