Cant install Skype 7.0 - Error 1603

[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Cant install skype Having issues Windows 7"]
Hi, This is my first time using Skype's fourums so I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.
But when I had a screen saying to update it wouldent let me and had errors so I decided to uninstall skype and reinstall.
I uninstalled Skype from control panel and it doesnt show up in program files.
Also searched whole computer for "Skype" And found 8 results and it wont let me delete those.
Now when I try to install Skype I keep getting 1603 Error code and I already tried using Microsoft fix it but it cannot find "Skype"
Any help would be greatly Aprreciated. Skype is the one way I call and talk to people.

Try this Lessmsi method:

Be aware that if you want to install the currently latest 7.0.0.102 version, then you should use SkypeSetup_7.0.0.102.msi file in order to extract Skype.exe and Login.cab files.
SkypeSetup_7.0.0.102.msi file can be downloaded using this link:
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_7.0.0.102.msi
Don't run this installer, but only use the downloaded SkypeSetup_7.0.0.103.msi file to extract the Skype.exe and Login.cab files.

Skype Installation fatal error 1603

My skype spontaneously stopped working and I counldnt figure out why. Skype No longer said it was a program on my computer, so I completely deleted it. BUT when i went to reinstall it on my pc (windows 7) it gave the the message "Object already exists" then "Installing Skype failed; code 1603
A fatal error occured". Ive updated my computer and tryed the microsoft fixit install/uninstall. Also Ive watched youtube and read comments by others with the error but nothing is working! PLEASE HELP
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The objfix program that was linked won't run for me? I've tried to open it multiple times and I'm starting to get distressed.
I feel as if I'm doing something incorrectly, although the only thing I have done so far was simply download the program.

When installing Skype, I get error 2001

Every time I try to installing Skype, I get the iTunes error 2001 (not very helpful at all)!
The message push-up after I push the "Get App" button.

Pat,
Thank you for responding. I'm experiencing the same runaround. I don't know which Illustrator link to click, and the one I did click wound up giving me the same error message. I think the problem is I need to download it to the Cloud or to Google Drive. I don't seem to have an option for where Illustrator can be downloaded. I read on the Chromebook website that there is no hard drive on a Chromebook, that everything needs to be downloaded and retrieved to/from the Cloud. I need CS6 Illustrator and also need Adobe Photoshop for my class.
When I tried downloading I also noticed I was in an area for people who haven't paid. How do I download it as part of my subscription?
If downloading to the Cloud is possible, how do I access and retrieve programs downloaded to it?
Best,
Stephanie

HT1926 Cant install itunes on vista error hresult: 0x8007054f

I cant install itunes on my HP laptop. Says there is an error called hresult 0x8007054f

HRRESULT: 0x8007054F
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 8007054F, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

Cant Install itunes - airtraffichost.dll error

I was bought an Ipod Touch for xmas - needed to upgrade I-Tunes as my old version wouldnt recognise the ipod to sync. Downloaded iTunes 11 - and I cannot install it! I am running Windows Vista.
Basically each time I try this I have an error message when it comes to installing Mobile Device support saying I need to verify access to airtraffichost.dll...
I have uninstalled my old I-Tunes, and certain files still remain which are stopping me from installing the new version. I cannot seem to delete the old Mobile Device Support. Any ideas as I cant use my Ipod until this works......
I have tried using Revo & CC cleaner to delete the remaining apple folders but it keeps denying me from deleting them.
Help!

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Cant install itunes (file security error) PLEASE HELP

I uninstalled itunes because i could not update it. now when i try to install it it comes up with this
"error getting file security: C:\programdata\Apple\Apple Application Support\kdrl\GetLastError:5"
Can you please help me.
Thanks

Delete the folder C:\ProgramData\Apple\Apple Application Support then try again.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Installing help, cant install Adobe Reader/Acrobat Error 2402

Ive been using Adobe Reader for awhile now as many of you have however when i wasnt able to install the latest 1.104 update i wondered why.
Kept getting Error message 2402 Out of Memory.
So i tried deleting older versions of Reader as with much success was able to remove it from Control Panel with Microsoft FixIt, then with CCleaner program was able to remove from my Registery.
After a fresh reboot i went back to Adobe.com i tried installing ReaderX on both the latest versions of Firefox (main web browser) and Internet Explorer both not being able to finish the install due to Error 2402. I also tried a free trial of AcrobatX, same outcome as expected. I enjoy being able to view PDF files for both home use and college and without Reader it makes that difficult.
I also tried installing Version 9.5, same result
Any help is more than appriecated, im not too techie but i will try to provide any additional info i can

1603 error while trying to install skype

I'm having an issue while trying to install Skype on this computer, when I try to install it, it pops up and says "Object Already Exists" and then I get a second window saying "Error 1603 has occured: Fatal Error During Installation." I had Skype and it told me I needed to update so I clicked it and I've been getting this message ever sense. I tried to find Skype to uninstall it but after clicking that update the program was gone. So I went into Program files and deleted all skype related things and tried to download and install again. Got the same message. Please help!

You have to reboot for that fix to work. If you already did this then for whatever reason the solution didn't work on your machine (possibly due to some other corruption). The issue you are having is not Skype based but Windows/OS installer based. Try to install the latest Windows updates to see if that will fix the issue as newer Windows updates were designed to address that problem. If you have already tried that then remove the problematic Windows updates that causes this issue on some computers.
