vsta_aide causing problems

vsta_aide causing problems

(OP)
Just installed SW2011 on a stand-alone XP/SP3 machine.
SW appears to work fine.  However, now when I try to open a Word (2003) doc, Word tries to launch vsta_msi .... twice it seems.  I can click through and cancel the vsta launch and get the doc to open but what a pain.  Has anyone seen this?  I've even re-installed SW2011 but that didn't help.  Other MS Office products work ok and I will post on a MS forum but wanted to ask here first.  

Thanks

RE: vsta_aide causing problems

Have you tried allowing VSTA to install?

RE: vsta_aide causing problems

(OP)
Windows Add/Remove shows that it is installed.
If I allow it to complete it's setup it actually appears to do it again and again several times before the Word doc finally opens.

RE: vsta_aide causing problems

(OP)
Well I removed vsta_aide using the Add/Remove and that fixed things.  I did the same thing (so I thought) yesterday and it didn't work; SW2011 wouldn't startup.  

Still a bit of a mystery but movin' on!
