How to fix uninstall and install program problems on your computer

How many times have you tried to reinstall or install a new program and you get an error. Example: I have a friend who had skype on his machine but he deleted several components of it, so it was not working. I tried a new install with the newest APP out there, without success as it kept giving me a error code about missing install parts of the old program and it would not reinstall over it.
I had tried all the typical fixes, one being the Microsoft Fix page-so try that too as it will fix some issues, but if that does not do it and it did not for this problem, go back and find the old application for it. Install the older version of what was on your machine before, THEN do the update. Find your old applications at: Old APPS
It could save you a lot of time and headache...
