Can not uninstall the old version of Silverlight
The old version of Silverlight 3.0.50106.0 does not work, but my attempts to install the new version are filled with error messages telling me to uninstall the old. I tried several times but can't. Error message says "this patch package could not be opened." and wants me to check to see if it exists or is accessible - neither of which I know not how or what I'd do with the answer.

I have Firefox 20.0.1 and using RoboForm 7.8.7.5, who had also stopped working and so I upgraded RoboForm to 7.8.8.5 and it will not load even on Firefox, and I'm not able to delete the 7.8.7.5 either. I decided that I can't use Firefox until you solve the problem. I will not use password manager you have in the browser because I don't think that it is safe.
Also, I would recommend my friends who use RoboForm to also avoid Firefox at the moment.
You and RoboForm claim that there is a delete button in Firefox, there is no button with Roboform. I even turned off 7.8.7.5 but it will only allow me to activate, I can't delete this version.
Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.
- Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
- Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
- Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
- Windows:
- C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
- Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
- Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
- Windows:
- Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
- Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
- Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
The report please come back shortly.

Cannot install Skype because I can't uninstall the old version
This problem happened some time ago, but I didn't post it here
I had Skype version 6.9 and then there was an update to version 7.0, I tried to do the update, but it wouldn't let me for some reason any. There was a certain days until that my Skype would be more usable because of the version. After many days, I tried to remove and then reinstall the new version of the Web site. I downloaded it, but when I went to run it, it says that I can't install it because I need to uninstall Skype 6.9, I had already done. I have tried everything to uninstall the version 6.9, but none of them worked.
Any suggestions?

Get error 1603 on put and cannot can not uninstall the previous version.
I was not able to upgrade to the latest version of Skype. Uninstall Skype fails.
I have now deleted manually Skype and all entries in the Windows registry database, to try to resolve the problem with the installation in a new version of Skype.
However, download and install the latest version of Skype always give error 1603.
This is quite annoying because I use Skype in my work. Even more, my Skype number now does NOT work because of this fatal update to a new version.
One of the "crew" of Skype have an idea on how to get Skype installed without checking first to uninstall previous versions?Have you really tried to use LessMsi to extract the Skype.exe file and Login.cab of the msi installer and place these files in the installation of Skype folder or any other folder on your computer?
The only that Skype needs to run, are these 2 files.
