I just completely re-installed Windows XP Professional again, but unlike before, this time in "Add or Remove Programs" there is a "Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803)" entry there. I don't know what it is or if I should/could get rid of it without damaging my system. Last time I re-installed Windows XP, using the same boot disk and everything, there wasn't a "Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803)" program (atleast not to my knowledge). Should I remove it? It says that removing it could make my computer programs not work.
