Default Windows Installer starts

Hey,

Every time I start Outlook 2003, Windows Installer starts, then MS Office
Pro Ent 2003 starts with a "Please wait while Windows configures MSOPE03".
Outlook starts eventually, but is getting annoying.

This is a new install of Off03 after I tried installing 07, but got the same
sort of thing, except 07 rarely started at all, and the installer wanted me
to restart windows every time.

The problem is occurring on an Acer laptop that has been reset to factory
default, so its a new install of the Vista OS too.

Any help would be apprec.

Unfortunately the issue resolved itself before I could test the suggested
solution.

Thank you for the help.
