Windows Installer starts and fails every time I switch on the PC

K

KGB Bristol

For the past couple of months, every time I boot up my PC, I get the message
'Waiting to install...'. It delays my bootup process but never works
successfully. I've found the following in my WindowsUpdate.log file, but
can't find any helpful references to the error numbers anywhere on the
internet.

Does anyone know what I could do to stop this happening? I'm getting really
fed up with the time it takes to boot up the PC!

Thanks

Kevin
