1316 Network error reading from c:\Windows\Installer\iTunes.msi

that's what I keep getting...
I've tried:
All of the suggested fixes on the iTunes support items list, including Remove programs all apple products, deleting folder remnants on the C drive, deleting quicktime and quicktimeVr files from the System32 folder, deleting temp files, updating windows install software and the vbscript item mentioned, cleaning the registry, downloaded and ran CCleaner, downloaded and ran Registry Mechanic.
I still get a stalled install every time at the same point with the above message 1316.
Any suggestions? I have Windows XP Pro with SP2 so I should be compatible. The download installs quicktime fine but won't finish installing iTunes.

OK what finally got me over the ridge on this one was searching for and installing and running Windows Installer CleanUp.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Despite all the removal and cleaning and scrubbing and all the other remedial steps found on about 5 threads and 3 boards, the last time I tried it all over again I also as a final step used the above utility. It spotted some entry or something from iTunes past installation attempt or something (probably sometime I got Quicktime and it also tried to install iTunes but I removed it, and had since forgotten it.)
I have no idea what dark corner of the registry or someplace it was hiding, considering all the systematic slash and burn of the other steps previously tried, but this worked.

I found numerous fixes for this error from the community, thank you. After copying the iTunes.msi file over into \WINDOWS\Installer, I then got the "Yahoo.rtf error saying that it could not find the iTunes.cab file.....this is getting stupid, seriously, I would have thought that Apple had figured all of this out in their install package, especially with a Windows XP OS!!

You can try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download the iTunes installation
Also try posting in the iTunes forum since it is not an iPod touch problem.

Error 16828 when update from native Windows installer

Dears,
I have noticed error 16828 when I tried to update AIR application.
Steps to reproduce (AIR 2.5.1):
1. Prepare AIR
2. Prepare Native windows installer (*.exe)
3. Install application from native windows installer
4. Run application updater
5. Download new application air file and start install
6. You will get 16828 error.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
I know (too late) that updating native application with build-in updater (air.update.ApplicationUpdaterUI) is not possible and I have to use NativeApplicationUpdater library.
Unfortunately we have many users with installed Windows native application with buggy updater class. Each time when they tried to update they will get this an error with so misleading error description.
thanks in advance
Adam

Hi, Brad
I was able to run .exe renewal in accordance with "extendedDesktop"
The principle of the following
<Code>
airFile = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath(folderUpdate + '/updateCode.exe');
private function StartUpdate () : void {
                    var npsi : NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
                    npsi.executable = airFile;
                    var nativeProcess : NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
                    nativeProcess.start(npsi);
                    Reboot.CloseApp();
Close Apllication function
public static function CloseApp () : void {
            var mgr:ProductManager = new ProductManager("airappinstaller");
            NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();
</Code>
Run .exe through the console and close the application. If you do not close the updates will not start because of the running application.
Everything works, but for me the way the data is not suitable.
Another disadvantage is that the way to run an application can only Windows.

Error 1901. Error attempting to read from the source installation database

OS: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Browsers: IE 9 and Firefox 10
Flash Version 11.7.700.169
I'm logged in as Administrator. I'm trying to install using this:
start "" /wait msiexec /i install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi /qb
and

Both commands result in:

(the file name seems to be random)
echo %errorlevel% returns 1603.
Help.

Not sure how much I can help you with this. Error 1603 usually indicates that the installer cannot proceed because something is in use; search this page for 1603: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa372835%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Same message 2 dnld Plugin, (Java), and Adobe Reader: Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\ced2e.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.E

Spent all afternoon downloading Java plugiins and Adobe reader; each with the following "failure message."
Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\ced2e.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.Error 2203.Database: C:\Windows\Installer\ced2e.ipi. Cannot open database file. System error -2147287035.

This is going to sound lame, but... have you shut down and restarted Windows since this problem began? Sometimes the Windows Installer starts behaving erratically, perhaps due to a backlog of deferred updates, and the only way to get around it is to reboot.

Many thanks

Hi Foreverduy,
Before you run SQL Server 2008 express setup, make sure that you have installed Windows installer 4.5 and.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 manually. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.100).aspx. Moreover, please turn off all the third-party softwares which could prohibit the installation process.
According to your error message, the issue could be due to that your account has no rights to install SQL Server, or the corruption on the media.
Firstly, please ensure that your account has admin rights. Also make sure that you right-click the setup.exe and choose “Run as administrator” to complete the installation.
Secondly, please check if "msdbdata.mdf" file exists at d:\8268cd7b247d294de359c9\x86\setup\sql_engine_core_inst_msi\PFiles\SqlServr\MSSQL.X\MSSQL\Binn\Template. If it exists, please make sure that your account has read permission to the extracted
folder.
However, if the file doesn't exist in the extraction, the media could be corrupt. Please download the
media
again and check if the issue still occurs.
Regards,
Michelle Li

Hi,
The problem is that you are using the file SAPCAR.EXE for uncompromising the kernel that you have downloaded from market place.
at the time of uncompression a new SAPCAR.EXE file is generated and it want to replace the existing file but that is being used for the uncomression. therefore you get that error.
please change the existing file say SAPCAR1.exe and then try again. it will work fine.

Im trying to use itunes and it keeps saying i need quicktime when downloading it stops install and reports error and to go to windows/installer/quicktime.msi

Im trying to download itunes it says i need quicktime that keeps coming up with error saying to go to c;/windows/installer/quicktime.msi what does this mean

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?
