Problem with installer service

I installed the latest ddk, then deleted it (brute force, didn't use
uninstall)
Now I am having a problem, from time to time when I either start an
application which I compiled from vb6, or sometimes when I save my vb6
project, the installer service comes up saying that it is preparing to
install
the ddk. This is very annoying. For the time being I disabled the install
service, which solves the problem, but then I can't install anything (which
is not a problem for now)Any clues as to what might be the cause?
 
You might ask in a driver dev group but I'd say you're looking at a clean
install though these might help.
