Install skype - error (executable is corrupted)

Hi, i am using skype for long time in my laptop, it worked properly and normally before.. until i got update message to update the skype.. after the update (not sure the update finished or not) i got message "error: Unfortunately the skype executable is corrupted. please re-install"
and i can't using skype anymore. i tried to full-uninstall and re-download.. but before the installing finish i got the same error message.. please help. thank you

There are 3 things I can think of that can cause this:
1. A corrupted download of Skype. Sometimes using the offline install ~20MB download can resolve issues of this nature.
2. A corrupted installation of Skype. Try to uinstall Skype and delete/rename the login folder located at (Windows Key + R) %programdata%\Skype\Apps if it still exists. The overkill method would be to delete the whole Skype folder.
3. A display driver issue. Newer versions of Skype may put more demands on your video driver and require it to display something it can't properly display causing the Skype exe to crash. The executable really isn't corrupted in this case, it just doesn't get the response it expected and errs out. Updating to the latest version of your display drivers may resolve this issue.

Not Possible to Install Skype - Error: Key not val...

Not Possible to Install Skype - Error: Key not valid for use in specified state. & then Error 1603.
I have tried all of the community fixes.
I* have cleaned the registry and repair is using the I can not access any .msi files on the skype site (not authorized). So that solution does not work.
Thanks

First make sure that you have installed the latest Windows Updates.
This Windows Update,

might have solved the issue with msi-installer. If not, then try this:

Error while installing Skype; code 1603

Good evening,
Today my girlfriend tried to update her Skype but she got an error code:
- You can not remove the older version of Skype / tm 6.18. Contact your technical support group
- Error while installing Skype; code 1603
She tried some solutions I believe but nothing seemed to help, I'm not sure what she did so far, I guess it's not to much. Maybe somebody got an idea what it can be? Please help.
Netbook: Acer
Windows 7
Thanks in advance, I would really like to know the solution since I can't wait to be able to Skype with her in a normal way again.
Greetings,
PS: Lately when I was spending time on Skype with her I barely saw her, and we thought that updating her Skype might solve the problem, somebody knows if this would solve her problem? Or maybe it's a problem with her internet?

Thanks for the fast reply, but we are not quite there yet unfortunatly.. When she tries to download http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.18.0.105.msi she gets the message:
The Installed Product does not match the installation source(s). Until a matching source is provided or the installed product and source are synchronized, this action can not be performed.
So we can't really get started till this is solved. You might know a solution?
We also tried the http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/en We got quite far with this but in the end we had 2 messages:
- Cannot install or uninstall a program (Not fixed)
- Corrupt Patch Registry keys (Fixed)
Is this a good sign? I really don't know myself.
Thanks in advance again!
Greetings

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.

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

Error No 1603 Installing Skype

I'm Getting above error while installing Skype for desktop ( in Windows 8 ) . I've searched for many things but they are not useful.
Operating System I'm Using is Windows 8

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:

Test fails after php install: "Error executing file" and "no protocol"

With version 10.1.3.3.0, after installing the php extension, a simple test file fails with the log message of:

Reason: no protocol: /pgmdev/test1.php

Any suggestions?

Additional info:
This is on a Fedora 8 box that is running Oracle XE and ZendCore php just fine. Running the test.php page from /var/www/html produces the expected results, so apache is running as it should. The ZendCore control panel functions as well.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit option).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

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.

Go to Solution.

You get that error with a corrupt download. If you aren't out of hard drive space, maybe you have some hard drive corruption or malicious or security software installed inhibiting access to your hard drive.
Try running a check disk to resolve hard drive problems:

"error executing the process" rebooted there after it doesn't turn on

Hi.
I have an important problem with my Lenovo k900 brought in september 2013. It gave an error like this "error executing the process..." I reboot the phone, but since that moment the phone doesn't turn on.
I have tried a hard reset (power + volume(+)) but it doesn´t work.
When I press the power button, the lights below switch on for a few seconds, but the phone doesn't turn on.

This is a tough problem to solve if your not experienced with fixing Mac's, you can opt to take it to a local PC/Mac tech to solve it or you can attempt things on your own.
If you opt for the local help make sure talk to them if you have backups of your data or not, thus may require data recovery efforts performed first before wiping and installing everything fresh.
