Uninstall Microsoft programs duplicate

I am a 78-year-old computer illiterate Lady... tonight when uninstalling an unwanted program, I noticed a large number of entries from Microsoft.

First of all, there are 9 entries titled "Microsoft Visual c +...» 2 were dated 2005, 6 were dated 2008 and 1 is dated 2010... can I uninstall 8 of them safely, leaving only one dated 2010?

Second, there are 3 entries titled MSXML 4.0 SP2, followed by different numbers in brackets. 1 is 34 KB, 1 is 1.27 mb and 1 is 1.33 mg.  2 of them can be uninstalled and 2?

I hope that can let me know that there are a many other Microsoft programs that are also similar, but not exactly the same.

Thank you

Nancy L.

Hi Nancy,

It is not recommended to uninstall the previous version of Microsoft Updates-ITMU Visual and MSXML because some applications may stop working. It uses different versions.

For more information, please refer to this article:

This article also applies to Windows Vista

Hope this information helps.

    I would try using the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, which can be downloaded from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301. To install the tool, download and run as administrator.   Then, you must run the tool by clicking Start, typing Windows Installer Clean Up in the search field and clicking on the enter key.   Select the item you want to delete in the menu program uninstall/change, and then click Remove.    Click OK in the confirmation window.  It should work pretty quickly. Click on exit to close the tool.

    To learn more about this utility, read this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility.

  • I can not install updates, or I can uninstall all programs

    I can not install updates not can I uninstall all programs.  When I try it says that I am either in SafeMode or the installation program is not well installed.  I'm not in safe mode so I need to know how to fix the installation program.  can someone give me some information on how to fix Setup?  Thank you.

    To do this. Click Start--->Search---> all files and folders and type in the search box ""msi.dll " without the quotes and click on search." When the search is complete, right-click on one of the msi.dll file and select Properties. Click on the version tab on the page that has ensued. If the version is earlier than 3.1, you must download and install the latest version: WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2 - x 86-.exe from the link below.
