  • Skype installation failed; code 1632 on new disc

    Recently, one of my drives hard due is age, it was my drive "temp files" (which was not my main hard drive), after you remove the diskette and restart the Skype system did not work and there icon disappeared, since my main hard drive is small enough space (64 GB SSD) I do not bother to change the folder for temporary files and simply collapsed using the computer until I could get a new drive.

    Two days ago I had a new hard drive (2 TB, I've implemented 2 divides each 1 to and 'K' and 'L' system volume) I put the folder for temporary files on 'K:\tmp' and 'K:\temp', I'm sure that these folders work like temp files folders, other programs can write and read without any problem.

    http://3.1M.YT/N8DQSHh.PNG

    http://1.1M.YT/AQ4i5Ql.PNG

    And the drive pretty much free space:

    Anyway when trying to install Skype I get the error message 1632:

    Skype installation failed; Code of 1632

    The Temp folder is on a drive that is full or inaccessible.

    Free space on the drive or verify that you have permission write to the Temp folder.

    I am sure that the drive/folder is accessible and is almost empty!

    I thought maybe it was because of the old installation is corrupted, so I tried unistalling it first, but I got exactly the same error when you try to uninstall! Then I proceeded to uninstall manually (remove the files manually, temporary files Skype roaming/program files/etc and deleted each registry entry associated with Skype manually), after this new attempt but still the same.

    -J' tried with the "SkypeSetup.exe", "SkypeSetupFull.exe", they both give me the same error 1632.

    -J' I tried it with the "SkypeSetup.msi", it gives me Error 2755. http://2.1M.YT/ubP0z2.PNG

    -J' googled tried many, everything what I found on the internet, but I still get the same.

    -L'exe 'extract and replace' the installer msi is not an option since I did not all the files associated with Skype.

    -J' tried to change the temporary files in "C:" folder and install but still the same.

    Some useful information:

    -Windows 7 (x 64)

    -Hard drive: SSD 64 GB in total, 5 ~ GB of free space, system volume "C:".

    -The hard drive temp file: 931 GB, 916 GB of free space, System total volume "K:" (new, total space 2 TB / two partitions)

    Please help me I don't know what to do anymore!

    Create a new folder on the partition of K.

    Download Skype.exe and SkypeResources.dll of the OneDrive site files and place these files in the new folder.

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx/KB/929135

    Have you tried to clean your Temp folder, you can do this by typing folder in the Start Menu RUN box.  This will open your Temp folder, there, you can remove all Windows will allow you to do.

    It may be necessary to show both hidden and system files and also uncheck 'Hide known file types' in Control Panel / folder Options / view to navigate to the mentioned location of Temp.

    UNC probably refers to a network drive, in other words, the installation program does not, or cannot access the disk to install Skype on.  If all goes well running as administrator (Admin not connected) could solve the problem of access.

    Where Skype is trying to install the program.  Usually they install in C:\Program Files, see if you can access this location and test if you can create a new empty Notepad file in there.  This will highlight any problem with the permissions on your machine.

    Method 1: Follow these steps:

    1. go to the Skype website (see resources links to download Skype for Windows, Mac and Linux) and download the executable SkypeSetup.exe.

    2. click on the Skype Setup icon located on your desktop. A Skype Setup Wizard will appear. You will get a warning window asking if you want to run or save this file: SkypeSetup.exe. Click on 'run '.

    Note: Another confirmation message may appear, asking if you are sure you want to run this software. Click again on 'run '.

    3 follow the instructions on the Skype Setup Wizard to complete the installation of the Skype software. At the end of the installation, you will be asked to create a Skype account.

    4. a Skype window will appear, and if you've never used Skype before, you can create a Skype account. You will see a link on the window stating the following: "don't have a Skype name?

    Click on this link and it opens another window "Skype - create a new account", where you type your display name, and then type a Skype name and a Skype password and repeat password in the respective fields on this window.

    Note: Note your Skype name and password because you will need every time that you open the Skype application.

    Windows Installer error 1601 = The Windows Installer service could not be accessed. Contact your support team to verify that the Windows Installer service is properly registered.

    Additionally, make sure that the appropriate ports are open to allow the Windows agent to settle.

    Alternatively, you can manually install the converter on the remote system agent... and then try to restart the conversion (then there is no need to install anything).

    Suggestions? Thank you.

    Problem solved with the help of the Adobe Support (Mercer).  My problem had been seen in another machine, there are empty folders in the folder fonts (hard > library > fonts) that the installer could not reconcile or remove, hanging near the top of the installer.

    My challenge has been to delete the following empty folders in the folder of fonts:

    AdobeMingStd - Light .otf

    BickhamScriptPro-Regular

    KozMinPro-Regular

    MyriadPro - BoldCond.otf

    TektonPro - BoldCond.otf

    And then rerun the installation program (remember to empty the trash).

    My advice would be to first read the Setup log and search for the names of the fonts files that could not be resolved, then dump those.  Another way would be to export all empty folders in the folder fonts, empty the trash, and then re-Sun of the installer.

  • Skype Desk top installation problem (error 1601) as well as impossible to install the Skype plugin

    I can not install Skype for desktop PC that cannot run the file skypewebplugin.msi as

    I don't see why the Windows Installer Service is not available on your computer. Without this service, you will not be able to install applications using the .msi installer, and this includes updates of Windows.

    However, with Skype, you can do this:

    Download all the files of the site OneDrive:

    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?RESID=DB6E69DD03D093C9%21205

    These files are what is required to run the currently latest version of Skype 7.28.0.101.

    Open your Skype installation folder.

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Skype\Phone\

    Replace all files in this folder with the files downloaded from the site of OneDrive above.
