oracle jinitiator MSI reinstalling on every use? MSI problem likely
I have an odd problem with Oracle's Jinitiator version 1.3.1.22. Every time the user launches the java application, jinitiator appears to *reinstall*. The computer appears to be referencing the MSI used to deploy the Jinitiator , but only for a few seconds... so I don't think a full reinstall is actually happening.
The original MSI install was done via machine AD group policy.
The user has admin rights.
I see this in the machine log:
Detection of product '{BD369B1F-6268-4411-A27F-
But when I look at the MSI there is NO {BD369B1F-6268-4411-A27F-6

runonce is empty. and the install doesn't kick off when windows starts or the user logs in... it kicks off when the user opens the application.

found my own solution....
turns out the application BD369B1F-6268-4411-A27F-68
was looking for a directory/file here 1AA01CA5-B20F-483E-9E4F-22
and when I took apart the MSI, it was looking for folders/files that didn't exist.
It was a function of XP's self-healing MSI function. If I disabled the MSI installer service, the problem "went away". The core of the problem was a bad MSI (missing resources).

It may be RunOnce option that still has that install running
