curious problem with XP Pro File search..

[developmental2]

Gr8tings all,

Recent phenomenon adding color to my rather dull XP experience:
Whenever I search for a file in Windows file search, an installation
window of "Microsoft visio for enterprise" suddenly pops up, starts
"installing" or whatever its doing and then there is an error "Internal
error 2349", after clicking OK the blue status bar
"rolls back" to the right..

any takers...?

Thanks

Gr8tings? ???

And you have never installed Visio or anything like it right?

Visual Studio 2005 has some tools for Visio etc... do you by any chance have
VS installed?

I wonder if the install had an error or maybe there is a bug asking for
something you opted out of?

If you have VS I'd ask in the VS groups as most likely this is a known
problem.

Run the Windows Installer Clean Up Utility.

Every time I launch my application, Windows Installer performs an
installation. How can I determine the cause of the on-demand installation?
