Opening Office 2000 file invokes a Visual Studio 2005.NET install

I haven't totally discerned a pattern yet, but sometimes when I open an Office 2000 (mainly excel) document My computer will have to go through a Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 install procedure before my document will open.  I have to drag out the VS2005.NET disk to let it procede through this install procedure before my document will open.  Anybody heard of this?  My setup - XP sp2, Office 2000 professional with Outlook 2003 installed, Visual Studio 2005 Pro with SP1.  It didn't seem to start until I installed SP1 for VS2005.

Thanks Wildstar - I used the utility to remove the install information for VS and so far no more problems.  A pretty easy fix plus I learned about this nifty utility.
