Weird problem, Vista and MS Office

[Harley Davidson 95 Heritage]

There are some applications, when started, will first bring up an exe.
program wanting to install MS Office, an old version that I once had on this
puter and later uninstalled. Any way of stopping that from happening, it
can be annoying. Thanks.

Cheers,

There isn't enough information. You may have to re-install those other
programs.

Occasionally, going ahead and letting the installer run will resolve the
issue.

More than likely, you have a corrupted Office install
Uninstall Office, run the cleanup utility and then reinstall Office.
