Every time I reboot and log into my Windows 2000 PC a Windows Installer message pops up and to end it I have to use the task manager, the cancel doesn't stop it. I am not installing any apps and no one else should be trying to do it remotely from a another workstation or server. How can I stop this. It is not in the Startup folder. Also, can I found out who is trying to envoke this app on my PC.

Thanks

A posibility is if someone install an app, loging with local admin account and don't finished it or you have programs which have enabled install on demand (like IE). If currently you use a domain account without local admin rights is possible that this install can't finished.
Try to logon local with admin rights and see if the install will finish the job.
