Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
- Posted by Ron Williams on September 14th, 2008
I've recently ran into an issue with a new computer after removing numerous pieces of junkware. After removing the sonic activation module via add/remove programs, a rather annoying occurrence began upon machine start-up. After a while searching, the fix was relatively easy.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. Navigate the start menu selecting and start the cleanup utility. Upon program load find "sonic activation module" within the installed products list. Select the line and click remove. Restart your computer and you should no longer see the sonic activation module windows installer prompt.
One thing to note is the windows installer notice may be able to be removed via another method if it is available to you. Check the add/remove programs manager for "Sonic Activation Manager" and remove this, up restart the computer should not longer display the installer prompt, however in my case this entry was not available.
