I attempted to setup a MSI script to install a program called ICS Viewer. Now every program I click like Word, Excel etc ask me if I want to install the ICS Viewer. If I attempt to run Add/Remove PRograms in Control Panel it also ask if I want to install ICS Viewer.
How do I stop this behavior?

Probably did an advertised install and installed/replaced some shared files.

The only time I use any of the advertised features are with my DLL's and then that is very seldom. I never use it with shared files. Don't really know if that is good or bad practice, but to me it is an annoyance if I install one piece of software and later another and the problem happens to me. The only way I have got it to stop is either uninstall the offending app or let it go through it install process. I always try and make my stuff as backward/forward compatible as possible with common runtimes and other files.
