Hello Happy TaxPayers…

Please, could you consider cleaning the MS Installer?

Maybe I could take an example:
- I have installed/modified a software for which I have no CD (pre-installed Word, or HP auto-downloadable software).
- During the installation, something goes wrong and I cannot correct the problem (with Word, I do not have the CD because it is stored on an hidden partition, or for HP the requested file is not present).
- I cancel the installation.
+ BUG : When I start applications, the installer is restarted and requesting the same files!

I have no way to cancel it!

Thanks for Ccleaner (excellent), Defraggler (rather good) and Speecy (not equal to Aida, but free ).

Something like Windows Installer Clean Up ? That'd be awesome.

Mmmmm.... if I am not wrong, Andavari once mentioned that this can do harm as well. But I will say yes as long as it is safe but should rather be unchecked by default.

That'd be a tool, I think.
It's really useful when an uninstall or install goes wrong (like Office 2010's Technical Preview).
