when I start one application, an installer package starts, too

[Margo Guda]

I have this strange thing happening with a third party calculator: I
start the exe file and the installer for a completely different
application ALSO starts up.
My prefetch folder is empty. How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

You can use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the
installation settings for the 'different' application's installer:

If you use this utility to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for
your program and you plan to reinstall the program, you should reinstall the program in
the same folder where you originally installed it. This prevents duplication of files on
your hard disk or disks.
