10.8.5 won't install-error message javascript

I got this error message when trying to update from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5. App update said I don't have any updates to make but I'm not running 10.8.5 and it is listed as a purchased program in the app store.
"OSX updated combined can't be installed on this disk. An error occured while evaluating JavaScript for the package."

Nope. Same error message when trying to install just the 10.8.5 update rather than the combo or the supplemental. Any other ideas?
I can't even find this error message when I search Apple Support pages.
I'm headed for the app store to re-download Mountain Lion which should give me 10.8.5. It is 4.4 GB so it must be the whole thing.

ITunes / Quicktime won't install - error message during in installation

My computer, a Dell running with Windows Vista, has not been able to have iTunes & Quicktime installed on it in months. I've attempted to install it a countless number of times & tried a variety of things with my computer to install it but it just doesn't work - I get the same error message everytime. I can't even remember what happened to make it start acting so ridiculous.
It always starts out looking good and everything seems to be working pretty well, the green bar filling up pretty quickly, but then the 'Status' gets to about 'Publishing product information' and the error message pops up and I can't install it. It goes along the lines of "A error occurred during the installation of assembly: ..." then it goes on to say 'Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054F'. Here's a screenshot of the error message with the long whatever on it:

I believe I get the same message even when I attempt to download the two software separately (iTunes & Quicktime).
Can any one tell me what needs to be done? I have no idea what to try anymore. All help will be much appreciated. Thank you .
P.S.: If it helps, I can't really reinstall Internet Explorer (removed it when I downloaded Firefox).

Thanks!
(3) And I do not believe I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 installed on this computer, as I just tried to install it and I received this error message: http://i45.tinypic.com/a3m7bc.png
Okay ... that rules out one possible treatment. Sometimes people with the redistributable installed can get past this by applying a security update for it ... but it looks like the same sorts of problems are preventing it from installing.
(2) And last time I checked my History I had several failures I believe, however now I only see one failed update, that being Update for Windows (KB944036). The error code listed 8000FFFF. Apparently it's an update for Internet Explorer 8.
The other primary strategy we (I?) have for dealing with these is to attempt to treat any underlying issues on the PC that prevent Windows Updates from installing. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that your 8000FFFF is related to your IE being uninstalled, I think we'd probably better try following up on the following document:
[Error when you download updates using Windows Update or Microsoft Update: 8000FFFF|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414]
After applying those measures, do your Windows update and/or iTunes installation failures clear up?

ITunes 7.7 Won't Install/Error message

Every time I attempt to upgrade I get this error message after the download finishes:
"Errors occurred when installing the updates. If there problem persists update manually"
So is there a way to fix this or how do I upgrade manually?

some folks have been having some success with pgfpdwife's technique in the following post:
pgfpdwife: Re: Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classic\Quicktime.Quicktime\
note carefully that the technique involves a registry edit. be sure to make a backup of any keys you edit. if you're unfamiliar with your registry or registry editing, head to your XP help and support, do a search on registry, and read through the articles that come up.
if you would prefer not to try a registry edit, let's instead try getting an installer log to the Apple Engineers for a look:
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing (if you are seeing one)

ITunes 10.2.2 won't install - Error message about Windows Installer package

I ran a prompted update on iTunes for 10.2.2 for Windows Vista, and it completely wrecked itself. iTunes would no longer open, and it said that the shortcuts no longer existed.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes and all traces of it, and re-installing it, but keep getting an error msg that says "Problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required could not be run." I even tried a previous version of iTunes (10.1) and got the same error.
Can anyone help with this?

I had the same problem with updating my itunes. I spent hours trying to figure out how to fix it
After updating my windows 7 and fixing all the "corrupt" files, what seems to finally work for me was this
Go to add or remove programs in the control panel, on Windows 7, just go to start, control panel, and then uninstall a program. Find Apple Software Update on the list, and click on repair. Once that is done, try to download iTunes again and it should work.

Itunes won't install - error message "Later version already Installed"

I'm a stumped PC Windows XP user - I have downloaded the last few updates to Itunes and each one has said that I already have a later version of Itunes installed. I have uninstalled, deleted and cleaned up all files as suggested by Apple and even gone to the trouble of manually editing the registry to delete all Itunes, Ipod and QuickTime references to see if that will sort it, to no available.
The bit I don;t undersdtand is how can a aletr version than the current one exist unless there are version numbering or date issues.
Anyway I have had to regress to version 7.1.1.5
Any clever people have a clue.... All help much appreciated

Coolorus won't install, error message about photoshop version 11-14 Help?

I bought Coolorus colour picker yesterday to use with Photoshop CS6 but the extension manager keeps saying "this extension cannot be installed, it requires photoshop version in range of inclusively 11 and 14." Is the colour picker not compatible with newer versions or can it be installed differently?
I'm running a Dell Inspiron 15r special edition with an i7 and 16gb ram. The version of photoshop is apparently 13 and the manager is 7.0.0.374
Any help would be great
Thanks

You have to use Extension Manager CS6 to install this extension for Photoshop CS6.

Igoogle is my home page, but when I choose to see the weather forecast I must select my city every time I open mozilla 'cause it won't save it.Plus I have a problem with windows media player, it won't install, error message says internal problem.

I have tried to solve this problem myself, by checking the cookies settings and staff. Everything seems to be ok. But it isn't.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

Itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe

itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe
no problems with ITunes on Dell Inspiron Windows 7 until yesterday. ITunes version 11.0.2. iphone won't connect stating required software is not installed. uninstall and install 64 bit version of iTunes. I have 64 bit version already. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times already. When re-installing ITunes get error message c:\programdata\34be82c4-e596-4e99-a191-52c6199ebf6\x64\difxinst64.exe. file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. please install or create an association in the Default Programs control panel. iTunes install continues after the difxinst64.exe error message but then get the iphone cannot be used error message again. therefore, I can't sync my iphone with iTunes until I figure this out.
can't win for losing. had iTunes on my windows 7 laptop for 4 years. first time I've ever encountered this.

I am a PC Tech and had a customer with this issue. Ran across this post in my search and ended up finding the solution on my own. The problem isn't with the iTunes software but the installer for the GEARAspi drivers. Really the issues is with the file type asssociations in the windows registry. On the system I was working on the HKCR key for .exe should point to the exefile key but pointed to nothing. To fix it create a new txt document and paste the following in (only paste what is in between the [code][/code] tags):
[code]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[/code]
Now change the extension from .txt to .reg. Then right click and select merge. iTunes should now install properly.

Question: i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.
