Using Windows 7 Professional.

System runs very well except at shutdown.

Shutdown process indicates (I turned on verbose reporting to see what was going on) when Group Policy Client services are being shut down this error stops the process:

Block Image

setup.exe - THIS PROGRAM CANNOT BE INSTALLED ON THIS OPER. SYSTEM

OK

Clicking on OK allows the shutdown process to finish.

Is this a secret windows update installation attempt that has gone wrong?

Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks

Craig
