• Do I need Microsoft Silverlight? Or can I remove it?

  So I noticed the other day that Silverlight has been DL'd on my system on 24/07/14. I don't download and indeed ignored these optional things that come with my automatic updates. My question is, can I remove it safely without causing problems? I Win8 and I try to keep the amount of space free as possible so I don't download or want programs that I don't need or will never use unless it's 100% necessary for the operating system to function. Thank you!

  Silverlight hardly uses the amount of disk space. Its not an obligation of trust, but as mentioned, some web pages use for media streaming. I think that the last Olympics that MSNBC had the exclusive rights to broadcast on the web, given Silverlight. Its what you call a Rich Internet Application, similar to Adobe Flash.

• Microsoft Silverlight is stuck in an infinite loop

  This morning I got an error message telling me that I needed to uninstall and reinstall Silverlight of Netflix. I deleted all the files on my computer and went to reinstall. After reinstallation, I was told that I could not reinstall because a new version of Silverlight is already installed. I'm stuck in an infinite loop of H E L L. Microsoft seems to only provide help for Windows users. I'm running on a Macbook OS 10.6.8 with 4 GB of memory. So, it is not a question of space or an OS problem. I don't know what is happening! Please advise!

• Microsoft Silverlight will not - uninstall "patch package could not be opened" how to remove Silverlight?

  I worked the market for several weeks trying to remove my Microsoft Windows XP Edition edition family Version 2002 with Service pack 3 Microsoft Silverlight.  It can be removed with uninstalling the program because I gives me this Message: "this patch could not be opened.  "Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows setup hotfix package.
  I searched on the net for solutions and came across one showing an email from Nancy to the * address email is removed from the privacy * that detailed instructions for removal which did not work.  The instructions were:

  Step 1: Run the correction tool = 1.  Download and extract the accessory Fix '.zip' of this mail on the desktop.  I can't find any site highlighted in this e-mail to download the zip fix attached to my office.

  There were 2 steps more sure I can't even if I can't download this fix zip business that does not exist.

  Every night when I turn on my desk, it shows updates that need to be downloaded when I turn if turned off, then after delayed my trip to the bed for an extra 5 or 10 minutes he informs me that there is no silverlight 2 updates that they were unable to use... which of course I know for months.

  I don't know how my office put a hand on one program that can be removed or updated, but all I want to do is get rid of it without having to replace my hard drive.

  I'd appreciate any help that you can provide, keeping in mind that I am NOT a GURU and as such have no idea of what a hotfix or a hotfix Package is and would like to have instructions to remove this Silverlight program so it will stop embarrassing me, but if you could provide the removal steps which are not difficult to follow It would certainly be useful.
