Okay so you probably have seen this before. Every time when you try to install some application but decided to quit before the installation was completed or was unable to proceed the installation due to some other reasons. As soon as you quit the setup, a prompt window in Windows 7 from “Program Compatibility Assistant” will show up with two options, “Reinstall using recommend settings” and “This program installed correctly”. In my opinion, neither of those options are useful. And really, the whole PCA (program compatibility assistant) is just annoying.
Here is How You Can Disable This PromptBegin by going to
Services, simply click on Start menu and type in “
service” in the search box, double-click the one called “
view local services“.

Find the services name called “
Program Compatibility Assistant Service” and stop it from running by right-clicking its name and choosing “
Stop“.

By stopping this service will kill the prompt, but will not kill it permanently. If you want to completely disable this service, you need to go to the Properties by double-clicking on the service name.

Choose “
Disable” under the Startup type dropdown menu. Click OK button when you finish.
From this point on, this type of prompt will not bother you anymore until you re-enable the service.
