Multiple reconfigurations by MSI

[Tom Allen]

Folks,

can anyone explain why MSInstaller has, since 29 Nov 2007, been carrying
out multiple reconfigurations of applications ?
This is as shown in my Reliability & Performance monitor and in the
Application Event Log on nearly every day since that date.

The action is Event ID 1035 and shown as successful, whatever it may, be
and everything continues to work OK. There are sometimes about 40 such
reconfigurations each day (each boot up) with up to 5 instances for an
individual application per day. Prior to that date only known and
recognisable changes are shown.

I have seen a similar report in a Dell forum, strangely starting on the
same date. Equally odd is that on some days the only application
'reconfigured' is the MSI Cleanup.

You can all stop thinking about it now as all the reliability data has
disappeared.

The Reliability Monitor suggests it has detected data corruption and has
reset. I guess I will know when 24 hours of data have been captured and
a new display appears.

It's odd that, not having looked at it for so long a period, when I did
look it then disappeared, maybe Microsoft have implemented Schrodinger's
monitor

The Reliability Monitor has restarted with one day's data and a score of
10.0 but MSInstaller is doing it's stuff again with successful
'reconfigurations' of practically every application done at boot time.

Any ideas ?
