Windows Installer Needs To Die
|
Hello,
I maintain a pretty beefy VB 6 program for switching between different versions of a third-party software program. It is pretty registry dependent. It is deployed in its single EXE form. It does not use an installer.
On some (but not all) target machines, when it lauches it also decides to launch the lovely Windows Installer because it is looking for some oddball component. I looked it up on annoyances.org and it basically said it's a BUG. Great. Just great.
My question is, what is the deal? If the app was bundled with an installer like trusty Inno Setup, would that resolve the issue? Have you seen this before?
Thanks in advance!
