Do you mean you are getting installer messages when running apps without admin privileges? If that's it log in as admin, run app, then return to user account. Installer message should have gone.

If it ain't that then who knows lol

Don't know what else you mean or even why you'd need to stop it??

As Skazzy said...more info would be nice.

Perhaps you should just let it install... then it wont come back?

i could do that, but there are other apps that are tryin to install themselves.....and i dont want them......how can i disable the installer, i heard that i could

Disabling Windows Installer would be a BAD idea. You need to let the programs finish installing or uninstall them.

it shows how to do it on the site, but it doesnt work

[EDIT]
and when i let the installer finish i get an error and it closes, then starts again

 

[Un4gIvEn1]

uninstall the programs then

there're not even installed, and ive deleted the downloaded files, and cleared the temporary folders

Does it do this in every profile or just one?

Does it do this in the Administrator profile (Not a profile that is an administrator, but the actual Administrator profile)

And... just out of curiosity, what OS? 2000? XP?
