Can not update Skype, "A network error occured reading from file"


Question

I can not update from 6.0.0.120 to 6.0.0.126.

When I do (via. the installer or self-updater), I get:

"A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file: C:\ProgramData\Skype\{EA17F4FC-FDBF-4CF8-A529-2D983132D053}\SkypeSetup_6.0.0.120.msi"

I have tried deleting the contents of C:\ProgramData\Skype\, but it did not help.

Any ideas?

EDIT: MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.RNP.155278492346296875.2.1.Run detected no issues.

I had this exact issue, I fixed it via downloading a utility which cleaned up the Microsoft installer program. I'm not at my computer so cannot recall the name of it, but I do remember it was used to help office installs too

When I open the Windows Installer (MSN) Clean Up Utility installer, I get "Error 1327. Invalid drive K:\"

I don't have a K: drive :|
