When I upgrade from Lightroom 5.0 to 5.3 the default program Auto Play for photos is still LR 5.0 and the icon is gone

Can I uninstall the 5.0 and just install LR 5.3 without installing LR 5.0 ?

or

How do we fix the default Auto Play function in Windows 7 32 bit

which is a proper uninstall

i don't understand this sentence.

So the question is can I Install ONLY 5.3 if I start the mess over

Or do I have to Install 5.0 first

what working lightroom versions are installed on your computer now?

lr 5.3 is an update to lr 5.0.  you shouldn't have one lr 5.0 and one lr 5.3 program on your computer.

ie, either you update 5.0 to 5.3 or you download and install lr 5.3.

because you seem to have downloaded and installed 5.0 and also downloaded and installed 5.3, uninstall (properly) 5.0.
