I downloaded an antivirus upgrade file and during the installation process I
cancelled it. Every time I start my computer Windows Installer attempts to
install the file. I can't find the file anywhere on my pc but think Windows
Installer must have it somewhere in memory.
The error message from Window Installer : The features you are trying to use
is on a network resource that is unavailable.
click OK to try again or enter an alternative path to a folder containing
the installation package.
The only way I can stop Windows Installer from trying to install the file
is to use task manager.
