msiexec.exe running when I start Corel Draw, asking for Norton Utilities CD???

L

Lerner

Whenever I start Corel Draw 11 on my Windows XP Pro SP1 machine I am getting
the Windows installer (MSIEXEC.EXE) coming up asking for the Norton
Utilities installation CD's.

The window is labelled "Norton Utilities" and states "The feature you are
trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removeable disk that is not available.
Insert the 'Norton Utilites' disk and click OK. What is it trying to do? Why
doesn't it tell me what file or feature it's trying to alter (they're
ALREADY FULLY installed!) What's more, in the "Use feature from:" box at the
bottom it says "[Product Name] LABEL" which makes it look like it's
broken... but what?

I don't think I've made any system changes (although I don't use Corel very
often so it may have been like this for a while)

I also noticed that for a short time that WUAUCLT.EXE (Windows automatic
updater client) was running, yet I have Automatic Updates disabled.

I don't think it's spyware, etc. as my system is VERY clean (Latest adAware
found 0 suspicious files)

All my software is correctly installed and registered. What is Windows
trying to tell me?

Thx!

BTW, I'm so tired of Symatec software screwing up (did they hire a bunch of
programmers from ZoneLabs?) that I'm going to switch to AVG.

About 20 odd matches, but nothing even close to the issue I described.

Believe me, I hit Google 17 different ways with this one.


I just pulled Norton and installed AVG and everything is fine.

Now I just have to break Mediaplayer 10 so I don't get the annoying adware
that Microsoft thinks I want to see.
