1.Starting VB app causes Windows Installer to start

When I start a VB app on a Windows XP SP2 machine, I get a dialog from 
Windows Installer with the following dialog: Please wait while Windows 
configures Microsoft Office XP... Gathering required information.

If I sign on as a different user, I don't get the dialog.  I thought it was 
an issue with his profile, so I re-created it but I still get the same 
error.  The program had worked fine until a couple of days ago.  There 
hasn't been any changes to the machine at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

3.System tray icon does not always show when starting app when Windows starts

I am using VS2005 (vb) and I have a program that starts when Windows boots 
up.  Occasionally the icon that should appear in the system tray does not 
show up.  The program is still running in memory but the tray icon is not 
there.  If I start the program after Windows has booted up the icon shows 
every time.  I am assuming that the reason is due to the icon being created 
before the system tray is loaded/running.   I have used a timer with "dim 
notifyicon1 as new notifyicon" every few seconds and that works but I am 
afraid I am eating up memory doing that or is that "ok" to do?

Is there any way to detect if the system tray is not running so I can delay 
the creation of the tray icon until it is?

4.Windows Installer Attempts Config of MSDN Library Every Time I Start VB.NET 2003

I've recently installed Visual Basic .NET 2003 Standard 
on my XP Pro machine. The machine has been powered off 
and on and rebooted various times since installation. 
Still, each time I start VB.NET 2003, the Windows 
Installer attempts to configure the MSDN Library that 
accompanied the standard package.

Search of the FAQ and of the newsgroups failed to recover 
indications that it's a known issue, or that anyone else 
has had this problem. 

Any ideas on how to resolve?

Thank you very kindly,

5.Running VB programs starts Windows Installer...

Whenever I run a program created with VB 6.0 SP5, Windows 
installer launches and tries to run one of my "msi" 
files.  I have since deleted the msi file, but Windows 
Installer still runs, cannot find the file and exits.  The 
VB program then runs normally.  I'm not sure what I did to 
cause this behavior with VB but Installer also runs when I 
fire up the IDE.  

Can anyone clue me in on what may be occuring?

Thanks in advance.
