"Windows Installer" "Preparing to install" HT Log

All day I keep getting random messages on my screen when the "Windows Installer" window pops up for a second with the message "Preparing to install", then goes away.

How can I get rid of this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is the HT log:
