Can't install due to later version of iTunes already installed
When I attempt to install the Airport software, I receive an error message that says the installation will not continue because a later version of iTunes is already installed.
I am running Windows Vista and iTunes 7.2.
Can anyone help me?
I am hoping that by posting here this topic will become current again. My situation is exactly as described below; new computer, attempted to install airport express from install disc; get fatal error b/c I'm running later (7.2) version of itunes. Tried installing from English folder, which appeared to work, but no Airport Express Assistant shows up for configuration purposes. Any suggestions?
Vital Stats: Vista Ultimate, Linksys Wireless g w/speed booster router (also new and working for all other purposes), itunes 7.2, hope to use for air-tunes as I had done w/ my old computer.

(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? -
Can't setup express due to "later version of itunes"
I can't get through the express setup, continually get the message to the effect of "later version of itunes detected, cannot continue" or something close to that.
I am running I tunes 7.0.1.8.
I plugged the expess into my Linksys SRX router via cat6 cable and upgraded the firmware of the express using the program:
airportexpressfirmwareupdate63forwindows
It said download was successful, but when I rerun the setup program, I get the same message. The setup is version 4.2. Should I not be re running the setup program after downloading the update program into th eexpress?
No clue what's going on.I am hoping that by posting here this topic will become current again.

This means that I have to recover my apps form my iphone - I can do that and then recreate ALL of my playlists. Labourious and extremely irritatating.
I suspect, that itunes is just another flakey product - more trouble than it's worth. Unfrotunately, we are stuck with it if wanting to use iPhones, ITouch etc.
It would appear that the only way to backup up playlists form iTunes is to do them individually - ludicrous. Is there anything out there that cn back ALL playlists in a stroke?
Cheers!

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

A later version of itunes is already installed.Even when trying to unistall
I can't update itunes and i can't unistall itunes everytime i try, i get the message 'A later version of itunes is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue'.
I've tried to manually unistall itunes but that doesn't work.
I've google'd the problem but no one seems to have had this problem.
Does anyone at all have any idea, how to i can resolve this issue???Did you do all the steps in the scond article recommended by Jason?It would help if you explained exaclty what steps you have taken.
Usually this issue is solved by cleaning up the installer files with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. Did you do That?
In case it helps here is a step by step method for removal of iTunes, installer clean up and reinstall.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
Vista
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409
If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

A later version of iTunes is already installed.
This is the error I get trying to install the latest iTunes.
"A later version of iTunes is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue."
Since 7.3 IS the latest version, this message is in error.
I have removed iTunes, I have removed Quicktime, I have deleted files, I have deleted registry entries, I have used the Windows Installer Cleaup Utility.
Now I don't have iTunes, and can not install any version of it.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
RuinFair enough ... but they shouldn't be there. I just launched my CleanUp and saw no blanks up the top.
Before approaching them, we could try working out what they aren't. Have a look through the rest of the list. Are all the other programs that you use on a regular basis mentioned somewhere else in the list?
(Thinking that if we can account for all the other programs you use, we could go after those those two blanks acting on the assumption that they are actually the iTunes or QuickTime entries. The classic version of what i'm thinking of is extremely rare ... it usually involved old QuickTime versions and you're having an issue with iTunes, which is why I'm guessing that there are no version numbers in your case.) -
I have tried to just install the new version of itunes from the apple website, it looks like it downloads but after 5 minutes at the end of the install it says 'old version of itunes cannot be uninstalled, please contact support.'?
Is there anyway I can remove the version of itunes from my computer? i dont mind if i lose the music/content I already have on my itunes. I need to do this as i have just received the iphone 4 and need to install the newest version of itunes.
Many thanksI need to uninstall my old version on itunes and install a new version, i cant uninstall from Programs and Features, a message keeps coming up saying 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.'
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -
Hi. How come iTunes keeps saying:"this iPod can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes?" Wth...i am using the 64 bit version of itunes. Why does it keep saying that? Will someone Help me please!? This is is getting frustrating. I already had done a full removal of everything! I even removed and deleted my library...then had to put all 500 songs back on one by one. So, i don't have to remove everything again, just to get my ipod to work on here. You, know before the itunes update, my ipod and itunes were working just fine.
wow, that was a quick reply. lol. but i have removed everything. I wasn't even able to get iTunes on my computer for a little while. i kept getting errors on that. Now it's saying that the required software isn't installed. Hmm, could it be referring to Apple Mobile Device Support? That is supposed to be installed with when iTunes gets installed right? I only ask, because that didn't get installed with the itunes setup.

I have a new iPod Touch 5th gen. My computer works on Windows 7. Latest ITunes gives me this message: "this ipod can't be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64 bit version of iTunes." I have already removed and reinstalled a couple of times--making sure to remove all the related applications as well--Bonjour, Apple Software update, Apple Application Support. Help!
(apologies for barging in, lllass.)
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now? -

I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. I've followed several threads I've read here but nothing is working.
For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from
http://office.microsoft.com/, or from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj937170
3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again

I have recently loaded Icloud and received the following message
"You can't use ICloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed. To use ICloud with outlook uninstall one version" As far as I am aware I only have one version. Is there anyone who had a similar issue and if you did what is the solution?You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.
