Itunes: Fatal Error During Installation (it wont download at all) HELP!

Yesterday my iTunes (7.3.1) was working with no problems then the iTunes + Quicktime upgrade came up telling me to download the newer version but I didnt want to download it yet untill after i restarted my computer so I exited out of both the upgrade screen and iTunes then restarted the computer and when I tried to open up iTunes (after restarting), a little window came up saying:
+*Preparing to install...*+
Then after a minute or two it said: *+Please wait while Windows configures iTunes+*
Then another window pops up saying:
*+Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\fi.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. +*
*+Verify that you have access to that directory.+*
and I have no idea what that means so i closed it then a pop up shows saying: *+Fatal Error During Installation.+*

    Try first going through this article to remove iTunes and Quicktime completely (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698).
    After you remove everything, don't re-install yet. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301). After insalling that, remove any references of iTunes, Apple, or Quicktime in the list.
    Try re-installing now.

  • Itunes 7.6 installation Fatal Error during installation

    I successfully installed Itunes into my account - as the administrator. However, my other computer users users can't install the new version. The get a window that pops up: Problem with shortcut, fatal error during installation. I have tried removing and re-installing, I even followed all the steps in the trouble article #93976. I also deleted the user, created a new on, made that user an adminstrator and still can't install. HELP!

    I found on another post that concerns this same topic that someone has responded with the following solution:
    I ran into the same problem, but I think I have the solution. First, the problem isn't with iTunes, its an access problem with Windows XP. I tried to run the iTunes program from the Program Files, and I received an "Access Denied" error.
    If you try to open the Program Files in My Computer\Local Disk(C:) and receive an "Access Denied" Error, that is why you are receiving a "shortcut problem/Fatal Error during installation".
    Here is how I corrected it:
    1) Shut down the computer and restart it in "safe mode". I had to look up how to do this, but I pressed F8 when it was restarting and I highlighted the "safe mode" and started the machine. The icons will be large, but ignore it.
    2) Open a user that has administrative access -- I used the one user that has access to itunes.
    3) Go to My Computer\Local Disk (C:) and right click on the "Program Files" folder. Select "properties" at the bottom.
    4) Go to the Security Tab
    5) At the top you should see one or two users that have access to the Programs File. One will be the user that itunes works on. Click Add, then click Advanced, then click Find Now.
    6) At the bottom should appear a list of users. Select a user on which itunes doesn't work. Click Ok, then click OK again.
    7) Give that user full access to the Program File by putting a check mark in the Full Access box.
    8) Repeat for the remaining users.
    9) Restart computer in normal mode.
    10) Go into a user that had problems and click the itunes icon, and it should run.
    It worked for me, I hope it works for you.
    I have not tried it yet, but when I have the time to sit and actually do it, and if it works, I will definitely let you guys know!

  • Fatal error during installation

    I have been attempting to update my version of Boot Camp from 2.1 to 2.2. I have tried on numerous occasions with Apple Software Update but it never installs when the computer restarts. I have Vista 32bit installed on the partition. I tried to update with my Snow Leopard disk to 3.0 but it says the installer encountered errors before Boot Camp could be configured. It also does this with my Leopard disk. As a last resort I tried to repair the Boot Camp Services from the Windows Vista control panel and I get Fatal Error During Installation. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Since you only give one of error log and the Error 0x80070643 code is a common error, we need more information to diagnose the problem. Before you collect the logs, you should follow up these steps to install Visual Studio:
    1. Re-download the Visual studio from Microsoft official site here:
    http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
    After download you should use File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to verify the integrity of your download. If the values don't match, your download may be corrupted and you should download the file again:
    Refer to the below page to know checksum detailed number:
    http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2013-iso-sha1-vs.aspx#
    Refer to
    Download the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier to know how to check the checksum hash value.
    2. Disable your Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software and be sure that your OS has been "patched" up - Update your computer (Windows) before install the VS.
    3. Clean your %temp% folder and run the installer with Administrator permission.
    Look the links to get more information:

    If that still cannot go on the VS installation, please use
    http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the latest installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to

  • "problem with shortcut/fatal error during installation" on other user accts

    I-tunes installed and works with no problem in original user, but when another user account attempts to open Itunes, program attempts to install/configure again, then results in a "problem with shortcut / fatal error during installation" message. Setting the other users to administrators doesn't help, nor does un-installing/re-installing, etc. I am at least the 4th person with this problem (see Burthomp earlier today,Jan. 17 and Richard 1018 on Dec. 29). This problem started with Itunes 7.5, and is still a problem on Itunes 7.6. I have a standard Dell setup, Model E510. There must be a lot of people with this problem. Apple, are you working on this? Anyone else have a suggestion?

    I ran into the same problem, but I think I have the solution. First, the problem isn't with iTunes, its an access problem with Windows XP. I tried to run the iTunes program from the Program Files, and I received an "Access Denied" error.
    If you try to open the Program Files in My Computer\Local Disk(C:) and receive an "Access Denied" Error, that is why you are receiving a "shortcut problem/Fatal Error during installation".

  • VS 2015 - Fatal error during installation - Cannot read key

    I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2015 Preview from the ISO image. I get this error
    Visual Studio Core Features
    Fatal error during installation
    Here are the relevant parts of the log file
    http://privatepaste.com/d2f0080766
    Trying to fix the permissions to the mentioned key (which I have done maybe ten times by now) only gives me a new error with a new key. Is there a better solution?
    Windows 8.1

    I downloaded the
    Visual Studio 2015 Preview ISO Image in English onto Windows 7 PC. I didn't have an optical disk large enough to copy it to in order to install VS 2015 preview using ISO from optical disk drive.
    So I used 7Zip to extract the files from the ISO into a folder on my desktop and then install it. There was no key needed as this is a preview version. So I was never asked about any key. Although it must've had a key that came with it because
    after it installed I went to Help, Register Product and was advised after a bit that it updated with a key I suppose, even though it was already working, and the product was good for so many days.
    Microsoft recommends the following for extracting files from an ISO in order to install the software without using an optical disk. I used 7Zip which is not recommended by MS.
    The following tools offer .ISO file support:        
    IsoBuster
    CDmage
    Daemon Tools
    Winrar
    Also note: "Visual Studio 2015 Preview cannot be installed on a computer that has a previous version of Visual Studio "14" CTP installed. To install this release version, you must first
    uninstall any currently installed CTP."
    And I had installed .Net Framework 4.6 preview prior to installing VS 2015 preview.

  • I cannot uninstall QuickTime because of a "Fatal error during installation."

    I want to un-install itunes.  Following the iTunes support guideline, I first removed iTunes.  I then clicked on REMOVE Quicktime in the Control Panel.
    I received the message "Please wait while windows configures Quicktime".
    I then received the error message "Fatal error during installation" - OK.
    How can I now remove Quicktime and follow on through the Support route of the remaining iTunes elements?

    DEPs for iTunes and a fatal error when trying to uninstall QuickTime.
    I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms, including the uninstall errors.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Adobe Illustrator CS3: Fatal error during installation

    Hello,
    I just bought the AI CS3. It installed OK on my friend's laptop (windows). However, when I clicked the big button in the installation:
    "Install Adobe Illustrator CS3"
    A window showed:
    Initializing Adobe Illustrator...
    Then I got a message:
    "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer Support for assistance. Fatal error during installation".
    I've tried several times. My computer meets all the requirements (it's a really new and faster PC). And there's no old versions of AI on it yet.
    Can anyone help? Thanks!!!

    Do you have any other Adobe products on your computer? When I installed CS3 on my Mac, I kept getting failures. After contacting Adobe, they told me I had to delete ALL other Adobe products -- including Flash and Adobe Reader. Plus, I had to do searches and delete any support files associated with them. It took hours!

  • Fatal error during installation - Error 1603 ONLY on XP

    I am struggling to solve it for 3 days now, and of corse I have seen and tryied all things proposed in posts like this: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/373577 , but still nothing helps me.
    Thats list of all things that I have tryied to do:

But then I have tryied to install it on another laptop with XP PRO - fail as with my PC. It seems that Windows XP Pro is not good for CS3 or CS4, BUT it did months before in my old unbranded PC.

    I was only speaking very generally...  This is all common sense...
    Adobe and other software makers are moving on from XP in their development.  Thus XP becomes more and more troublesome to use as the likelihood of problems increases.
    In the case of installation, a lot of very specific things are required of an installer so that it can work on Windows 7.  The User Account Control (UAC) system and other security measures such as file permissions have to be completely and properly satisfied to install software on the newer systems.  Indeed, the application itself even has to work differently to be compliant - reference the recent 12.0.2 issues with loading scanner drivers for example, or the fact that Photoshop needs to put some things under C:\Users\... now that always used to be put under C:\Program Files\Adobe\...
    It's not hard to imagine that Adobe isn't testing software as thoroughly on XP as they once did either.  Perhaps they missed one of the quirks of XP in pursuit of getting it to install properly on Windows 7.
    You're putting a new cutting edge software application on an operating system designed nearly 10 years ago (an epoch in high tech).  That you don't see even more problems is a testament to Adobe's committment to support XP.

  • PhotoSmart C6280 - Fatal Error During Installation

    I have Win 7 (64 bit) system and cannot install software for my C6280 All-In-One Printer.  I keep getting a "Fatal Error During Installation" message and then the software tries to uninstall.  During this process a reboot is required and then the software tries to install again and then fails.  I'm in a never ending circle of install-uninstall-install-uninstall........
    How do I get out of this?  I want to completely uninstall all software associated with this printer and then start from the beginning.
    The issue that brought about this situation was that I was getting the following message at bootup time:
              "There was a problem starting C:\users\Myron\AppData\Local\IsolatedStorage\HP\zelqof.dll
               The specified module could not be found."
    I am assuming that the missing module would get installed if I re-install all of the associated software with the printer as this is the ONLY printer connected (USB) to this PC.
    This question was solved.
