Well, you could "Explore" the CD. That will show you the files on the CD, which may not be identical to the files that get installed on the computer (for example, the CD could contain a .cab or .zip file from which the actual files are extracted).

You are trying to install sktpe but you get an error message Installing Skype failed code 1618Another installation is already progress Complete that installation before proceeding with this installati?

This means there is an installation running in the background, it could be a windows update still installing, something you got for your computer that's still installing or it could be anything else still installing. If you can't find the installation that's running try checking the Task Manager for running installation processes or if that doesn't work try restarting your computer. Hope this helps.

Can you reinstall a program if you already have it on your computer and if so will it do anything?

Yes you can re-install programs that are already on your computer. What happens depends on the installer. A good installer will automatically switch to maintenance mode if the version you are installing is the same as the one that is already installed -- allowing you to modify the installation (add or remove components). If there is no maintenance mode it should simply repair the installation if anything is missing, or let you know the software is already installed. If the versions are different, the installer should offer to remove the existing installation if it is older, or alert you if it is newer (typically you have to manually uninstall newer versions before installing older versions). A bad installer will simply install over the existing installation regardless, however the complexity of the software will determine if this is a good thing or not.
