Type Regedit in Run and press enter.

• now select Find from the Edit menu
• and enter name of the software you want to delete from registry
• After searching it will display a Registry Value
• Delete that file from Registry and Restart computer 

But deleting manually from registry require very attention deleting wrong file from registry may affect your system.

• Therefore i recommend you any Registry cleaner Software to clean registry very easily
• Wise Registry Cleaner is a free registry cleaner software available on internet.
• download and install it 
• run Wise Registry Cleaner and clear registry in a second.

Hello Iimrank,

 

It seems that your previous installation of Silverlight is stuck in your computer is operating system. You mentioned that it doesn't appear from add/remove programs already.

 

Here is a straight forward tool that can help you fix the issue. It is called Microsoft Fix-it

 

 

Install the program and run it. It automatically fixes the problem for you. After the process has been done get the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight.

Hi,

Here is my suggestion but be careful in following the procedure as you may encounter fatal error deleting unwanted keys.

1. Go to registry error

          Vista – click Start, type “regedit” on the Search box and press enter

          XP – click Start, then Run and type “regedit” and OK

2. Find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSilverlight and select

3. Choose delete on the edit menu, and yes to confirm

4. Click Exit on the file menu to exit the editor

5. Reinstall your Silverlight

I hope this help you.
