Microsoft silverlight will not uninstall

I followed the instructions in other post to uninstall Microsoft silverlight, (by dragging the card to the trash or get into the hard drive and dragging it away) a notice appears and tells Microsoft silver light cannot be uninstalled?

Why cannot it not be uninstalled I installed it to watch Netflix, but it did not help Netflix continues telling me to install it so I don't want and can't get rid of it!

Hello

You use a Windows or Mac computer?

What version of Windows are you using?

If it is a Windows-based computer you must uninstall it any other application rather than slip into the compartment. For example, in Windows 7:

1. go in: Control Panel-> programs and features

2 right click on Microsoft Silverlight and select Uninstall , and then follow the prompts.

If you have a Mac, so here are the instructions from Microsoft for deletion of Silverlight:

(I don't use a Mac so I can't confirm that this correct or help that you also if it doesn't work)

  • 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.

    Hi DonaldRandall,
     
    As you have tried various possible steps to solve this problem, I recommend to post your query in the Silverlight Forums for assistance on this issue given that the experts who can handle this problem well in there.
  • Microsoft Silverlight will not work

    I'm an avid Netflix Viewer, but from today it doesn't let me watch anything due to a problem with the download of Silverlight. Here's the exact message I received:

    You have encountered a problem specific to Silverlight from Microsoft, the software used to watch movies on the site Web of Netflix. This problem is often solved by uninstalling and then reinstalling Microsoft Silverlight on your computer.

    To uninstall Microsoft Silverlight on your Windows computer, please follow these steps:

    1. Close the open windows of the browser
    2. Click the Start button.
    3. Select the control panel.
    4. Select programs & features.
    5. Find and click on Microsoft Silverlight
    6. Choose uninstall.

    After completing the steps above, attempting to look instantly on http://www.Netflix.com/ invites you to reinstall Microsoft Silverlight.

    I did it twice, but it still does not work. I downloaded Stopzilla, an anti-virus program, maybe who have incurred it?

    Thank you very much for your time!

    Madeleine

    Hi, Madeleine,.

    What security software you have on your laptop?  If Stopzilla appears under programs and features, I recommend to uninstall.

    Then, download and install the free version of MBAM and SUPERAntiSpyware on the links below.

    MBAM

    SUPERAntiSpyware

    When it is installed, run full scans with these two utilities.  If they find something, delete it and re-run the scans.

    I would like to know how this happens and what software (other than Stopzilla) security you have installed.

    Kind regards

  • Scanner Utility For Microsoft Windows will not uninstall

    I am trying to install drivers for a new Fujitsu scanner.  The installation process gives me a message that I need to first uninstall the Scanner Utility for Microsoft Windows.  I go to the control panel and go through the uninstall process, get an acknowledgement that it is uninstalled, but it's still there.

    How can I get rid of him?

    some things on the Internet immediately to protect me against the consequences of the break-in. I didn't know that the version of Windows is 64-bit, until I started to have problems with the scanner software.

    It's very strange to not be able to uninstall the software does not work.

    Colin

    The problem by uninstalling is in this case the software never have installed correctly in an incompatible operating system. At least some of the files and settings are not where they are supposed to be for uninstall work.

    System restore would be the first resort in this situation. Odd that you had only 3 points of restoration. I assume that you checked the box to show other Points of restoration as well. With my current settings of SR there is about 16 points of restoration.

    The last resort to undo the mess would be to backup your user files on DVD or an external drive and make recovery from a manufacturer of the system on your computer. That he would make an out-of-the-box state. Most computers have recovery disks, unless you use OEM provided utility to burn yourself. If your computer is all major OEM there will be a recovery on her partition. OEMs a method to retrieve their OS and system software without erasing your user files. You would still re - install all the programs that you added, but it may be a lot less painful to have to put everything back. This path you would still Fujitsu folders with files in them, but they'd be sure to delete at this time, because the system registry would be clean. Accessing recovery of the system in the start menu usually takes you straight into the destructive recovery mode (ie. reformatting the drive and just reinstall). It's a little more cautious to start the Windows recovery. There should be a recovery utility somewhere in a folder in your menu all programs that will give access to the less drastic ways of recovery (reinstall system only or reinstall drivers and programs).

    johncoxcpa,
    Well looking at the log you've posted, I came across this article:
    MSI (s) (2 c: D4) [22:29:29:073]: sequence number number for this installation system restore.
    This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.
    c:\c17e5b6672c37d9f685b\Silverlight.msi

    So it seems that if your system has a software restriction policy installs.  You need to contact your IT Department. to learn about the changes to the policy will be to install Silverlight.

  • KB954430 guard reinstall BUT also will not uninstall

    KB954430 guard reinstall BUT also will not uninstall in order to allow the correction

    I read the fix as it is to uninstall and reinstall manually but in the "installed updates" area of windows, if I click on any other update, uninstall link is appears... but NOT with kb954430. I can't uninstall it because there is no option to do so (i.e. no link uninstaller).  How to uninstall another way?

    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954430

    KB954430 guard reinstall BUT also will not uninstall in order to allow the correction

    Re vista: kb954430 guard reinstall BUT also will not uninstall in order to allow the correction. I went to the area of vista update and all other updates when you click on them have a link that seems to do the uninstall. KB954430 will not uninstall so that I can then manually reinstall it, in the hope that it will stop relocation.

    There was a ranked difficulty: uninstall, then reinstall manually, but be able to uninstall the update, which for some reason I can't.

    any ideas other ways to uninstall an update that does not have the ability to click on the link to uninstall?

    For two weeks I was faced with an update from microsoft that will not be installed. That's my faithful old XP.

    The small yellow shield indicating that an update, KB2656353 to be more precise could not be installed...

    only this one, I get used to the shield warning... !! The answer came to me through

    PC'ers useful, but it says that I have to find, uninstall and then reinstall the three services packs and then, and

    only then this update will have. I don't know is what a service pack or where to find a. I do enough

    good on computer maybe I severe dyslexia and her take my 45 minuets just for this deal.

    I guess I'll have to find a service online, I hope, or a professional come to my house to fix my old
