WinInstaller Opens When Right Click

When I right click within Windows Explorer, instead of getting the proper pop-up menu, the Windows Installer opens & it tries to install Roxio 7 CD/DVD Creator. I have a working copy of Roxio 7 that was installed in back in 2006. This problem just started happening within the last month. I have to cancel the install (takes about 30 seconds to finally cancel) & then the correct pop-up menu appears.
I reviewed http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show... but my problem is not with MS Office 2000 - I don't have that software. Solution # 2 did not work because I don't have a "Group Policy" within snap-in / console. I had to use mmc.exe since gpedit.msc does not work on my system.
This little bug is quite annoying & I'm hoping someone out there has a solution for me!!!
