After uninstalling skype 4.1 on winXP-Pro (SP2) and then trying to re-install it, the installation process brings up the following error message and aborts the install:

“… not a valid win32 application”

I then checked my hard disk to find that there is STILL numerous skype files and folders that were NOT removed by the unistall process. Now I can’t re-install skype… what can I do?

Please help.

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
The Skype extension should be banned by mozilla.
Just look at Mozilla support

A third method here..Rather than delete or move the file I just added a few —’s to the front of the file name,to make it ” —-{B13721C7-F507-4982-B2E5-502A71474FED} “. Restarted Ff and hey presto , no more Skype extension.This way, if I want the extension back I don’t have to reinstall or remember where I put the file, just remove the —’s. Simple yet effective. Running Ff as an Admin does make more sense though XP

Having faffed around misunderstanding ‘other’ people’s advice on how to make Google maps work again, properly, I found your site. Instruction easy to understand and follow and worked. Thank you.

Can’t delete the file. Every time I try to delete the file in Windows Vista, I receive a “file is in use by another application”. Firefox is not running, and neither is Skype. Any ideas?

Hi!

Thanks for the advice. I installed Skype to a new computer yesterday, and the same old thing happened with Firefox. Happily, though, with Skype 3.8.0.188 and FF 3.0.5 the Tools – Add ons – Extensions did have an active “Uninstall” button also for the Skype extension.
