Something triggers Sitecom Bluetooth install?

[ctrlaltdelete]

I have a laptop here from a client, an Acer TravelMate 2300

Got mbam-setup.exe from besttechie.net and tried to install it.

While install is running i get a popup about installing Bluetooth software.

Well, i killed that Bluetooth install process and continued installation of MBAM.

Did some other things, restart, when starting MBAM the same Bluetooth software thingy popped up.

Bluetooth is alredy installed and working fine.

I decided to uninstall MBAM, and guess what.... Bluetooth install popped up again.

Any idea why this is happening?

Hmmm.... it also happens with other software installations.

I just noticed this behavior for the first time with MBAM, but i see now it's not related to MBAM.

This is usually caused by issues with MSI installer package corruption , if anything that uses MSI has problems you will be prompted (over and over) to reinstall the software .

What we need to know is if this is one machine that this is happening on (no matter how many apps are screwed up) or multiple machines .

If this is one I would be willing to bet that the machine has multiple other issues . I fix PC for a living at my day job and see this all the time . You can use this tool to fix the issue but will need to reinstall the affected software :

If this is on multiple machines I need to know what software is being affected .

At 5 o'clock in the morning i finally had some time to try....

The Windows Installer CleanUp fixed it.
