Can't install or uninstall iTunes in Vista

OK, this is really messed up. I had a corrupted file in iTunes that wouldn't allow it to open. So I tried to download and install it and failed. I tried to uninstall it and then reinstall and failed. So I think I've got a corrupted version of iTunes now that won't uninstall. Here's the error message I get. I can't read the entire file name that it references.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've worked on this now all morning without success.

hello
i am having major trouble installing itunes. i had itunes working fine and i went to update it as it told me there was an update which i thought i did. i went on my laptop the next day and it said "itunes was not installed correctly error 7 windows error 998"
i read a few articles on here but i am having no joy. i uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and that did not work. i also unistalled some other apple things cant remember the names sorry!
i am not a whiz on a computer so really need some help please!!

Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
A search of these forums will show some threads.
I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

HT1923 I can't uninstall iTunes from the control panel on a Windows Vista machine. .

I need to uninstall iTunes so I can upgrade my Windows Vista machine to Windows 7 Home Premium. When I try to uninstall it tells me I can't because I don't have administrator privleges. I am the only user account on the machine and I have full administrator priveleges. Any idea how I can get iTunes to uninstall?

Is there an error message when you try to launch the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe)? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Issues using/uninstall/installing itunes with vista

I recently purchaed a computer with vista. Everything was fine with my computer and itunes for a while and then all of a sudden I received a message (through my desktop) that an iTunes file was currupt. Now when I try and open iTunes I get the following message:
Error writing to file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\ITDetector.ocx Verify that you have access to that directory.
iTunes won't open after this.
I have tried to uninstall iTunes (which it will not do) and I recieve this message:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing the package. This may indicate a program with this package. Error code is 2330.
When I try and install iTunes 7.2 I get the following message as well and the installation stops:
Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. THe GEARAspiWDM service use bythe GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted duringthe next system reboot. please reboot the system and run iTunes again.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can either repair iTunes or uninstall and then reinstall a working version? I appreciate the help,it has been a little frustrating.

Just doublechecking something. Were you installing the version 7.3.0.54 that came out just yesterday, or an earlier version?
If it was an earlier version, perhaps try a 7.3.0.54 install to see if that goes through any better. Here's a link through to that installer:

Hi. I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit. I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes. Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time. I've turned off my pop-up blocker. Any ideas greatly appreciated

After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it. After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success. Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA. Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully. I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough. The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded. Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.

I have and iphone 3GS and I want to install recent upgrades, but I am not able to install the latest version of itunes, I have a PC windows vista home basic. I was tols to uninstall itunes and then re install, but as I mentioned it won't let me, ...

I also heard it may have to do with my ios version being newer than itunes? I don't know how to find what version I am using either? Thanks for any help!!!

In case this helps, the error message I get when trying to uninstall itunes says " the feature you are trying to use is on a network that is unavailable" then is tells me to click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing install package 'itunes.msi', then there is a drop down box and it gives me to places to search beginning with C:....and neither of them work.

IPod not recognized by iTunes, Windows Vista prompts to format iPod drive

Hello,
I have IPod 80GB which I rarely use. Yesterday when I wanted to use it, I went to add a few new audios to it, connected to my computer and launched iTunes. I added the folder which contained audios to iPod, synced it and wanted to disconnect, but iTunes took excepionally long to finish.
When I clicked on 'eject' icon, I go a message saying 'some files are being accessed' or something like that. I waited for 5-10 minutes but it won't finish up, so I unplugged my iPod as I had to leave.
Later when I wanted to play, I noticed I had no audios in iPod at all.
Later when I got home, connected it again to computer, launched iTunes, but iTunes won't show iPod. A few minutes later, windows (Vista) prompted a message saying that it needs to format N: drive (which was iPod).
I tried diagnostics on tis site, restarted/reset iPod etc, but it didn't solve the problem. I removed and reinstalled iTunes as per instructions, still no use.
Then I called Apple support Canada and the guy on the phone said I need to pay to get support. He said he'd send me some documents via email which would solve the problem and hen I wouldn't have to pay. I gave him my email address, but so far I have recieved no emails from him. I have checked my spam and junk folders, just in case, but nothing there.
Anyhow, this issue came up all of a sudden, there has been no physical damage to iPod, I barely use it. maybe for few minutes here and there a month. I have had numerous problems in the past every time a new iTunes update come, it always creates problems. Last year I spent many hours after iTunes update make iPod unrecognizable so I had to go back to older version, then upgrade etc. I don't remember how I solved the issue, but it took a while and it turned out to be something of iTunes version issue.
I wonder if this is another of such issue. I hope its not a hardware issue with iPod. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks

I just got Vista too and it does recognize my ipod, but itunes can't find a lot of my songs on the computer. I tried to uninstall itunes and reinstall it thinking that it would seach for new music when I installed it again but nothing new happened when I did that.

Ipod not recognized by itunes with vista!!

I can't install on uninstall iTunes on my laptop; running Windows XP. I've tried all the steps in Apple Support as well as Windows support. Can anyone help? I fet the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

I can't install or uninstall iTunes on my laptop. I've followed all the steps on Apple Support as well as Microsoft support. I get the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Pick an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi". This has been going on for a couple of weeks now and I'm very frustrated. From what I can see, I'm not the only one with this problem, but I have yet to see anyone post a solution that works. Microsoft wants to charge me $99 to troubleshoot it for me and Apple will charge $20. I think both are ridiculous as this is obviously not "operator error".

(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?
