File missing on startup

M

Mark Corbelli

I installed a new printer and uninstalled most of the crap programs that
came on the printer CD. While I was at it I uninstalled a few other things I
no longer use. Now on startup, I get an error message that a file cannot be
found. I can click "OK" and proceed normally from there, but it now takes
longer to boot up since the computer is apparently looking for something. It
also takes one extra click by me to proceed to the desktop. The file it's
looking for is:

c:\PROGRA~1\INSTAL~1\{D03E7\Setup.exe

I went to a DOS prompt and got as far as C:pROGRA~1\INSTAL~1 but when I type
dir: <enter> it lists 4 directories but nothing that starts with {D03E7. I'd
like to fix this. I'd rather not restore my most recent backup as it's two
weeks old. Anyone know what I should do?

Thanks in advance...

Why a DOS prompt?

Open Explorer and navigate to \Program Files\InstallShield Installation
Information and see if that missing folder is really there.
