cogadh: The C++ runtimes on those two exact games and PhysX on Two Worlds. They were set to wait for user input, but they had no options greyed out and were defaulted to uninstall. This is on Win 10, in case that matters.

JudasIscariot: I also ran those updates on my Win 10 machine at work. You don't remember which redistributables? Because I noticed that the older ones (2006 and 2008) would sit there and wait for my input while some of the newer ones (2010 and up) would just do their thing automatically.

Now, please don't take my statements as doubting you or anything, just trying to get to the bottom of things here as best as possible.

Could I ask you a small favor? Could you uninstall those games and then run the Galaxy install for them again and keep an eye on those redistributables?
Unfortunately, I cannot replicate this anymore. Reinstalling Thief or System Shock directly in Galaxy gave no prompts whatsoever (all the redistributables were minimized, zero user interaction installs) and since I lost my backup drive, I can't try installing from an old version of the installer and then update via Galaxy (the current standalone installer download has already been updated).

However, the test that Starkrun did perfectly replicated what I saw with Two Worlds and the Legacy PhysX installer. I had the game installed years before getting Galaxy and it was imported into Galaxy with some difficulty at the time (had to manually force Galaxy to find the game). When Galaxy updated the game, the Legacy PhysX installer popped up, defaulted to uninstall.

Bit hazy, but I think I had something similar with J.U.L.I.A.: Among the Stars over the weekend. Only I don't think I even used Galaxy to do the install. I do clearly remember the dialogue boxes popping up and being annoying, and it asking something about repair, when I knew I didn't need to do a repair. So this may not even be a Galaxy thing.
