Thanks for the "reminder" about using the EventLog. I have used it in the
past for other issues, but slipped my mind this time. Probably could have
eliminated a couple of steps had the gray matter been aligned properly. :p

Hi JustUs,

find the culprit by executing each one of the apps that shows up in the Installer dialog box.

Another option is to check the Event logs. Details follow:

Click Start, Run and type eventvwr.msc
Select the "Application" log
Look for the recent entries with the source column containing "MsiInstaller"
Double-click the entry for more details.
It may show the product name for which the installation/repair took place
