I am really angry that I get this message every time I try to update Itunes.
“The File ‘C:/documents and settings\DEAN\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\itunes.msi’ is not a valid installation package for the product itunes.  Try to find the installation package ‘itunes.msi’ in a folder from which you can install itunes.
What kind of gobbledegook is that?  Are you or Microsoft crazy.  Us computer users need simpler instructions.  Or you need to write your programs so that they work.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Missing files.. ( pictures) why am i getting this message every time i try to open a pic..  JUSTY downloaded PSE12

    missing files.. ( pictures) why am i getting this message every time i try to open a pic..  JUST downloaded PSE12@

    Hi,
    When you are looking at the small pictures in the organizer, you are seeing the thumbnails that were stored within the organizer catalog when you first imported them into the organizer. When you first imported the files, the organizer saved the location of that file and the pointer to the thumbnail. When you try to edit or print the image, the organizer can no longer find the image at the stored location - the file is missing.
    You might like to read through this to see if it helps explain things to you
    Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.
    The changing drive letter is the most common cause when images are stored on an external drive.
    I'm not sure what you mean about when you say "did not go back into categories like I had them on version 7".
    If you updated to version 12 from version 7 on the same PC, there was no need to move any of the images so they should be in the same folders as before. The catalog should have been converted for you (if you allowed it) and so all your albums and tags should have been preserved.

  • Cannot upgrade iTunes because cannot uninstall itunes 9.0.2.25. Error: The installation source for this product is unavailable. The file c:/... itunes.msi is not a valid installation package for itunes.

    I also get the error. "Cannot uninstall the older version of iTunes. Contact your technical support group."
    How do I download the itunes.msi for iTunes 9.0.2.25 so that I can remove this phantom and unfunctioning program and then hopefully upgrade to the latest version of iTunes 10.5?
    Thanks for your ideas.

  • The file 'C:\Users\netrgm\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes64.msi' is not a valid installation package

    I am currently at iTunes version 10.5.1.42. It is telling me there is an update. It downloads and trys to install version 10.5.2 but i keep getting this error message:
    The file 'C:\Users\netrgm\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes64.msi' is not a valid installation package for the product iTunes.
    Try to find the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes.
    The file is in the directory that is looking in, but it doesnt seem to think it is valid. I have tried several times over the last week or 2.

    Try the following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

    Microsoft word is not responding.  I get this message every time I try to close a Word document or do some other functions such as change margins or print.  I just get the twirling ball.  I'm using OSX on a imac.  What do to?

    Bummer! The only way I have ever been able to get rid of the dreaded twirling ball was to reboot....with the exception of one time only, when it actually was some super techie issue that was only resolved when they looked at it and did their magic.
    Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

    I keep getting this message every time that i start my computer, but i can still connect to the Internet, and do whatever i could do with a working router and modem.
    The server 192-----etc. at WRT54GS requires a user-name and password.
    Warning: This server is requesting that your user-name and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).
    Then it asks for a user-name and password. What password!?!!!?!? WHAT USERNAME!??!??!?.......if anyone can help i would appreciate it.

    the router password is admin by default. Leave the username blank. But for this issue you may check the security setting of your internet options. Disable it from there.
