Installer runs every time I start application

All,

There is a KB article pertaining to windows installer running every time an
application starts - so I know it's an issue - but the KB article pertains to
MS Office only.

I am seeing the same behavior as the MS Office installer issue in my
installer package. The behavior started happening after I added a custom
installer step (implemented in C#) and the behavior stops if I remove my
custom installer step.

In my C# installer class implementation I overrode and implemented the
Install(IDictio nay stateSaver) method only. I looked at the other methods
and events in the Installer class and I didn't see anything else that I
needed to do. Did I miss a step? How does the Installer know that my custom
step succeeded/failed - I almost get the feeling that the problem is
occurring because I am not signalling a succesful completion? Does anybody
have a clue how I can get around this problem?

Thanx in advance for your help...

I want to be able to put my files in a specified directory (user specified is good, but i don't mind hardcoding the path either) and...

I've got an application that runs, so I added an Installer project to it. Now, every time I try to build the application, MS's Visual Studio 2005 Pro pops up an installer with the unhelpful box, "Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition - ENU." It will prompt me for the CD, which I insert, the CD spins around for a bit, then it prompts me for CD 2, and it checks it. It will say it only...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs. The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols. I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
