deployment issue

Hi,

I've deployed the app I wrote through an Install Wizard project. I place a
link on the user's desktop, and in the program menu, using "shortcut to
primary output....". When I click the icons on my computer the app starts
up. Now when I installed it on a second test computer, I clicked on
it....and it popped up the windows installer window....saying...preparing
install....and then....cancelling. After that the app does start up, but why
is the windows installer launched (which does (apparently) nothing)?

thanks

Without more information, I can only tell you "what" is happening, but not
"why".

What is happening is that on the second test computer, when you click the
shortcut, Windows Installer is checking that the app is installed
correctly. If it detects something is incorrect, like a file or regkey is
missing, it will "repair" the installation.
