Install issue

Any time I right click on any desktop icon A Windows Installer DialogBox
comes up, with the message Preparing to install. The problem is I do not
know what it wants to install. It only gives you a cancel option. I tried
opening the task manager but it shed no light on what program was trying to
install.

Any ideas?
