It looks like it's going into repair mode. Did you remove any files after
you installed the product?

I created a shortcut to a program that I am installing. I created the
shortcut by right clicking on the program in the application folder, and
selecting "Create Shortcut", then dragging the shortcut into a folder I
created under the "User's Programs Menu". Whenever I click on this
shortcut
after being installed, the installer is relaunched as well as the program.
How can I get this to just launch the program (and not the install?)
