It sounds to me like you are going somewhere and something is trying to
install. That in itself is not particularly good but since you didn't
provide the URLs as requested and/or tell me exactly when this happens,
there's no way for me to assess that risk for you.
It sounds more likely that the Windows Installer is messed up and you need
to fix it. Try this:
