  • Windows Installer issues-unable to uninstall silverlight

    I'm trying to stream video to my PC via Netflix, I get an error code: N8156-6013. I searched Google and found that other users had received the same error code after updating to the current version of Silverlight. Other users have solved the problem by uninstalling the current version of Silverlight and then installation of version 3.

    When I try to uninstall Silverlight via the Control Panel, I get this error:

    The feature you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource.

    Use source:

    c:\802916df17399c5251\

    I suspect that there is a problem with windows install, but I don't know and I don't know how to proceed.

    Allows to use the third-party software uninstall program Revo uninstaller for Silverlight to uninstall and reinstall the latest version.

    Download revo from the link below

    http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-professional-version.php

    It doesn't look like a problem with Windows install.

  • How to uninstall Silverlight and Nero 9 on my computer?

    Why can't I uninstall both programs in my control panel, i.e. to the programs ' Add/REMOVE '. One is the Microsoft Silverlight, and the other is NERO 9 Essentials.  When I click on remove in the Silverlight program, it displays a message on the screen to constantly check certain kinds of "PATCH" program which I have no idea what it is. This Patch verification, I'm sure that does not allow the program to delete, on Nero 9 Essentials is also absolutely nothing when I click on remove other than some of the highlights of the program only. Simply, he is sitting there, highlighted and does nothing, period! I don't want, or use one of these two programs, is why I want that they uninstalled.

    Any help or suggestions to get rid of these two programs, would be much appreciated.
