It's deja vu all over again for me. I had a very similar problem - whenever I tried to scan something, upon completion, Windows Installer would run attempting to install some additional HP software component. Cancelling that worked ok, but it was an annoyance I had to face with every scan.

And it's an annoyance many people face with every reboot.

The good news is that there's a free tool that might help.

Look interesting!

MSI is supposed to be oh-so-smart, but to me it's been more of an annoyance than a help :(

mouser:
msi has been an utter nightmare for me in some cases - i hate it.

JavaJones:
MS's install system is crap. There are 3 or 4 totally free systems that trump it in most every way, including ease of use (for the install creator). I don't understand why people still use it. :p

Thanks for this link. I have an install hanging around that runs at odd times. Hopefully this will root it out.
