I have nearly the same problem... but there is more...
I get the Windows Installer popping up all over the place when I start a program.
I cannot ID whats going on, I cannot stop the process fast enough to see whats actually caused it to pop up.
I'd love to use the windows installer cleanup utility, but on what I dont know... my list of apps/progs is just too big for me to ID an orphan one.... I have tried and just cannot see which one it is.
Is there a utility to 'log' the activity that appears in the task manager.. so I can narrow it down? or Something else?
Thanks
Colin

I had the same problem. When I cancelled the process it said "canceling" (sic). I find it suspicious a windows process would have a typo.
