msi installer question

[james]

Every time I run my app it goes through a quick msi installer before it
actually runs my program. I don't believe it used to do this, so it is
something new but I am not sure what I did to make it do this. I am
guessing it is doing a quick check to see if there is a newer version, but
since it adds about 10 seconds onto the load time of the program I'd like to
turn this feature off. Does anyone know where to control this?
Note: I have the DetectNewerInstalledVersion set to false in the setup
properties, so that should not be the issue

thanks,

JIM

Are you using the windows installer's auto-repair feature? If so, it
might consider your app broken, which will cause it to reinstall.

Ok, found the problem - it turned out to be a registry setting that was not
being created for some reason, so I just removed it for now and now it works
