Stop trying to install outlook on my computer!

Windows7 issue: I can't install new programs because my computer is trying to install Outlook (I don't even want Outlook!) I can't cancel the installation--it always starts again and says to run Outlook and set it as the default mail client, then asks for the CD, then keeps trying to install. Help!

I don't have the Microsoft Office Professional 2003 CD that it asks for, so it just keeps trying to install, then tells me it can't, then asks for the CD, then keeps trying to install...

I've gone into Programs and removed Microsoft Office--nothing will stop this thing! please help.

Best answer: Try running this and see if you can find the thing that is auto-launching the Office install. Then kill it.
