InstallAnywhere gives software developers a quick and easy way to author professional software installations for Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, i5/OS, Mac OS X, Windows, and more. Installing on multiple platforms will save you time and cuts costs by creating a single project file that generates reliable setups for each multiple of the platforms you target.
If you develop applications for multiple platforms, trying to manually create installers for each one is a time-consuming and error-prone process. It often leads to release delays and installation errors that frustrate end users and increase your support costs.

InstallAnywhere makes it easy for even the most novice installation developer to create professional installers for virtually any platform. It is available in two editions (Enterprise and Standard) and in four languages (English, German, French, and Japanese).

If you Google for "Zero G Registry" (with the quote marks around it), you'll find that it comes with the InstallAnywhere utility, as David has said. Apparently, it's needed for the uninstall utility to work cleanly. So, go ahead and delete it, but if you later run the uninstaller (rather than just using the standard Windows Add/Remove Software routine), I suspect it will either not work, or will leave some things behind.

I also agree that it, and JAlbum, are not likely to be responsible for any "weird" behavior on your PC. If they were, these forums would be filled with angry posts about it.
