This is an issue I have been running into from time to time for as long as I can remember.

I download and try and install a program. It starts normal enough. Begins extracting the files before the setup program runs. Then the setup program begins running, but it's the setup program from a different piece of software that I had previously installed on my computer.

Now, the installs could happen months apart. Does this ever happen to anyone else?

Is this an issue with where the setup files are being extracted to prior to setup or is it a registry issue?

Any ideas?
