office installer launches every time a microsoft product is launch
Quoted from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Note the very last line... (the emphasis and exclaimations were added by me.) "When you use Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can perform the following functions: Select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer from the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. To do this, select the programs that you want in the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs. Remove all Windows Installer information associated with the selected programs. This includes the entries for the programs in the Add Or Remove Programs item in Control Panel. Be aware that only the Installer information for that particular program is removed, not the files. WHAT THIS UTILITY DOES NOT DO... Windows Installer CleanUp Utility NOT NOT NOT not perform the following functions: 1. Remove Windows Installer 2. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Remove files of any programs that are installed by Windows Installer, such as Microsoft Office 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

office installer launches every time a microsoft product is la
I used the cleanup and it caused all office suite programs to stop launching.
When I tried to run a repair (actually all I was offered was the "change" button) it said Office was corrupted and must reinstall. I reinstalled, same problem of installer asserting itself all over again! Added up, I'm into my 10th hour troubleshooting this, not even considering the 5-minute Outlook-launching sequences all day long.
