• Impossible to uninstall Adobe Reader 10.1.3. Error - the patch package could not be opened.

  Original title: Add or remove programs, what is meant by a hotfix package?

  I am trying to remove the program Adobe Reader 10.1.3 & when I try to remove it, I get an error message that reads: the patch package 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.

  Hello

  A Windows Installer patch (.msp file) is a file used to provide updates for Windows Installer applications. The fix is a stand-alone package that contains all the information needed to update the application.

  A hotfix package contains updates the actual application and describes which versions of the application can receive the fix.

  The program itself shows is no longer in my program list, and when I visit the Silverlight Web site may not detect an existing version on my system. But when I try to download the latest version, that he says could not be installed because I need to remove the previous version first... I'm going in circles and get no where... I downloaded Revo Uninstaller Pro but it also had no effect... I'm stuck!

• 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.

• This installation package could not be opened. [SOLVED]

  I try to install Java 6 update 18 and get the error message:

  "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package. »

  I uninstalled Mcafee, spybot, and ad-aware.  I also disabled all the security of vista and UAC.  The only account on my computer's administrator.

  I followed some suggestions on this site and made a run and type msiexec / unregister, and then run and typing msiexec/regserver and I still get the same error.

  I also tried to run the program as administrator and with UAC turned back does not.  I tried to download Windows install 4.5 for x 86 but it tells me that this update is not compatible with my vista installation.  I am running vista Home premium 32-bit, so I don't know why I get this error.

  I also have service pack 2 installed.

  I'm completely lost on why this is happening.  This situation of not being able to install Java also applies to a few other programs as well, but not all of them.  I don't remember witch ones they are, but Java is my main concern at the moment and I feel that if this is fixed, other programs will install as well.

  I would apprectiate very any help on this.

  UPDATE: I also tried Run and type in services.msc and found windows install and changed manual automatic and started the service.
  It didn't work either. :-(

  -UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATED - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATED - UPDATE -.

  This problem is now solved!

  It seems that the "Run as Administrator" command gives you administrative privileges only, and they are not sufficient to install Java (and OpenOffice, by association) and other programs as well. To work around this problem, you must actually you as an administrator. Open a command prompt with admin rights by clicking Start, run, type cmd in the search/run box and pressing CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER. At the prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes

  Then disconnect from your regular account and record as an administrator, you should be able to install the program. When you are finished, open a session to your regular account and, for security reasons, disabling the account administrator for assistance:

  NET user administrator / active: No.

  Wallah, its done and everything works.
