when launching certain programs others try to install

Sure,

Download it from here: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...288-v3-x86.exe

Microsoft Installer relies on an internal database, and a lot of files stored in C:\windows\installer. Sometimes the DB gets corrupt in older versions of the product.

You perhaps by chance didn't delete any of those files, did you?

Anything is possible. Sometimes I get deletion happy, followed by deletion sad.

How did the installer work?
