Error code 1603 when trying to download

This happened to me yesterday when I tried to download the latest version of skype. A box popped up and said,"Object already exists." I cannot find a way to get skype back. I already tried the fix it and erasing everything that has to do with skype and it still won't work. Please help, thanks! (I am also on a windows desktop)

The "Object already exists" error message is known to be caused by the recent Windows Security update KB2918614. Due to changes this update made to Windows Installer, not only Skype, but also several other updates (e.g. Adobe Reader, Java and even updates for Sophos Antivirus) may suffer from this behaviour. Uninstalling this update will rectify the issue, and this update can always be subsequently reinstalled (when the affected application is successfully installed/updated).
Try to uninstall this Windows Security update KB2918614.

Remember to reboot your computer after uninstalling this update.
After uninstalling this update try again to install Skype.

  • Error code: 504 when trying to download latest Map...

    Ovi Suite tells me there are new maps available (for an E72, though I don't think this is relevant), so I click on 'Download' and a few seconds later I get the 'Something has gone wrong' and 'error code 504'.
    Any ideas? On Windows Vista, fully patched and Internet connectivity is fine in all other apps. 
    What does 504 mean, Nokia?

  • Error code 2738 when trying to download iTunes 7.3

    I have been reading the forums for the last couple of days and I know this is a common problem. I have tried to log on as a different user (one suggestion), and turning off my vista firewall and removing 7.3 and installing 7.2, but nothing is working. I just bought an iPhone and am having to use Windows XP on a friends computer to do anything with it.
    My best guess is this is a compatability problem between iTunes 7.3 and Vista (because 7.3 DOES work with XP), but I am now completely stuck. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

    Actually, it's Visual Basic Script (VBScript) on your
    computer that is causing the problems, not iTunes.
    To get this running, you simply have to re-register
    VBScript. Follow the steps in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304405.
    That should get it going properly.
    Thanks for the help - I think we are on the right rack...unfortunately, when i input the string into the command prompt I get a new error - 'the module "vbscript.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegister failed with error code 0*80004005.
    Any suggestions for this new problem?
    Thanks in advance

    I've been trying to download apps for my Lumia 800 for more than a day now, but I can't. The error message is "Marketplace isn't available at the moment. Please check back in a bit. Error code:805a01f5". I'm still able to download apps, as long as it's not Xbox Live apps, Skype, and some other apps. I tried uninstalling the Angry Birds trial I got 2 days ago and downloading it again through the marketplace but now I only get this error. Tried resetting my phone and fixing everything but still nothing.

  • Error code 2324 when trying to download iTunes for windows 8.

    I started by trying to update my iTunes, and was given an error message and was unable to open it. I've deleted/uninstalled it, each time I try to reinstall it or download it again, I get the error code 2324. I have no idea how to proceed or what I am doing wrong, please help!

    Let's try the fixit from the following Microsoft document with that one:

  • I keep getting error code 2324 when trying to download itunes 10.7.

    Everytime I try to download itunes 10.7 I get error code 2324. Can anybody help with this situation? I'm trying to sync my new iphone 5 but I can't without updating my itunes, but I can't update my itunes, so please 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?
