Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Event 1035 for every app.

[Utanka]

I am using Windows Vista from past couple of months. Never had any problem. And as I remember I dint even made any changes to the system in past 3 months. But from last week whenever I boot my system, I can see dozens of Entries getting generated in Event Viewer Log every time for all applications installed on my computer. It looks like this:

“Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: DellSupport.
Product Version: 6.0.3075. Product Language: 1033. Reconfiguration success or error status: 0.”

I never had this problem before, it started last week. Any idea what would have gone wrong and how can I fix it? Many thanks.

Hope somebody here can tell me what is this all happening.

The problems stems from a script or application using the Win32_Product WMI Class. It should be replaced with Win32reg_AddRemovePrograms.

The Dell Support Center application is likely using this Win32_Product class. Hopefully they fixed it in a newer version.
