Following the SP2 upgrade our database program will not
start. Windows prompts to reinstall the program. If you
cancel the Windows error message enough the application
will start but it is very problematic. Oddly I have customers
who try and start other database programs and windows trys
to reinstall our program (????) Tried uninstall/reinstall without
success. Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks all.

Hi

Most likely it is Windows Installer doing an on-demand installation...

See "Every time I launch my application, Windows Installer performs an
installation. How can I determine the cause of the on-demand installation?"
in the FAQ at

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/community/centers/management/msi_faq.mspx

To access the Application Log in the Event viewer,
run the following command from Start/Run:

eventvwr.msc
 
Thanks so much for the information, I will try this with
my user.
