Windows Installer

[astrodestino]

Hi!
I uninstalled an application and at the end I manually removed the app directory, que thing is that everytime I reboot my PC an instance of Winsows Installer will startup trying to finish uninstalling the app.
How can I do to prevent windows installer to open?
I tryed msconfig and it doesnt appear and I dont know where to look!
Tnx!!!

remove the folder that describes the app to the installer. you can find it either under \windows\installer and/or under \program files\InstallShield Installation Information. it might be difficult to determine which folder is the correct one, however.
