Restarting server/PC wants to re-run SR6 installation

I've recently upgraded a server to 7.2 SR6.
After restarting the server, it always automatically relaunches the SR6 installation which I then just cancel out of.
Where is this being triggered from? I've looked in the registry Run and RunOnce folders but its not in there. Can you give me a heads up?

What happens if yo un-install the SR, then reboot?

I'm actually not 100% sure its the SR6 that is rerunning.
It might be the setup.exe for 7.2.
I'm not wanting to uninstall anything - I just need to know how Windows knows to launch the setup/SR6 each time I log on?
I know its not in the registry. And I can't see any startup folder the user profile.

Windows Installer magic. We don't explicitly control this - it's just how Windows Installer works... it *does something* after *some events* to flag a product needs repairing / reinstalling.

OK.
Might just live with it. I'll do some googling and see what I can find.
