Can't uninstall or reinstall Quicktime/Itunes etc.

I have Vista X64
I recently install itunes and quicktime. Now I want to remove them but it won't let me in control panel. So I manually deleted the folders in program files and did a search for the keywords in regedit and deleted every single reference.
Now If I try to run the installer it says:
http://short-media.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=22751&d=1173170420
This installer has encountered an unexpected...Error code 2738.
And I heard on Apple forums people suggesting to use "Windows Installer Cleanup" [URL="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301"]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301[/URL]so I downloaded it but when I tried to run it:
http://short-media.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=22750&d=1173170420
Cannot find script engine "VBScript" for script
So now I can't use itunes/quicktime/and who knows what else requiring windows installer.
I tried to find something to reinstall Windows Installer or the VBscript/.Net but it's all for XP and below, and doesn't work on vista.
Can anyone help?

When plugging in my iPhone to my PC, I get message "The registry settings used by Itunes drivers for importing and burning CD'd and DVD's are missing..." Can I uninstall and reinstall the iTunes app without losing all the tunes I've purchased/loaded?

many thanks.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

My photoshop is now not acting right. Can I uninstall then reinstall it?

I updated my photoshop and now it freezes when I try to do several things. One is to convert to black and white in application. If it's not freezing, it's cropping the far right side of the photo off. Can I uninstall then reinstall the program?

You should be able to.

Can I uninstall and reinstall CC whilst leaving Lightroom and Photoshop as programs on the PC?
I'm using Windows 8.
CC has a bug or something, as it just opens and freezes with a small red icon in the centre of the page.

Iphoto wont start and deleted all of my photos. can i uninstall and reinstall iPhoto?

can i uninstall and reinstall my iphoto and will it fix the problem that i have with not being able to import and look at photos?

Of course you can uninstall and reinstall iPhoto - but it Probably will not help at all
But that is only a wild guess since no one has any idea what you have or what your problem is
Lets start with really simple basics - what version of iPhoto do you have? what recently changed or happened that might be related to this? What exactly does "won't start" mean? Why do you "think" iPhoto deleted all of your photos?
Do you have a good current backup? Note that iPhoto does not "delete" photos - users can but iPhoto does not
You sate numourour problems - please describe each and be concise without editorial comments
1 - iPhoto won't start
2 - iPhoto delete all of your photos
3 - iPhoto will not import photos
4 - iPhoto will not let you look at photos

Why can't I uninstall or reinstall quicktime and Itunes on my computer

Error 2330, Windows Vista - Can't uninstall or Reinstall ITunes

Itunes was working fine for quite awhile, but now when I access the store to download another song the store shows up but almost immediately blanks out to a white screen with only header info on it, no details.
When Itunes starts up, I get a message saying that there is a problem with the installation and CD downloads will not work.
I have tried reinstalling Itunes and Quicktime from the apple website. Also, uninstalling both from the Windows control settings. QT gets uninstalled and reinstalled fine. I get error 2330 with no other information when trying to reinstall or uninstall Itunes.
Have tried clearing out the TEMP folder and also doing selective startup as directed on the apple help tips. Still no luck.
Does anyone have suggestions how to resolve the 2330 error and why I am getting it?
THANK YOU !!

I had this same issue with the iTunes store loading then going to a blank white screen straight after. I then checked for updates, installed everything it told me to (Safari, Quicktime, iTunes). However after everything installed it cut my internet connection. I was able to browse the internet for about a minute before I completely lost my internet connection.
I called my router manufacturer, they could not resolve my issue as the other PC's could access the internet so I knew it was iTunes/Safari/Quicktime. I did a system restore (I am using Windows Vista), that did not work. I searched on the other PC for help and found somewhere to uninstall network adaptors under the device manager. That just took away all my applications that pointed towards the internet so I did another system restore to bring them back, but this however fixed my issue. I did have to re-access my router from my computer by prompting it to reconnect to my ISP and then I got my internet back.
But, I can't access my iTunes or listen to my music.

I can't uninstall and reinstall itunes?

Hey,
For the past few months I have had several problems with Itunes.
1. I can't use the itunes store because the screen in itunes store is completely white
2. I can't install the updated version of itunes and quicktime, I get error messages
3. I can't uninstall itunes because it says itunes doesn't exist
4. I can't install itunes again from the website because it gives me error messages and shuts down
5. I can't install or unistall itunes at all from any location

You likely have a deepr problem either with Windows or malware on your system.
Sounds like you need to backup your files and do a factory restore of Windows:
Once you've done all this Windows will be extremely responsive, and iTunes likely will run with no issues at all.
Factory Restore instructions:
1: Backup all your files to cd/dvd. if possible as it's write/delete protected or a hard drive.
2: Consult your PC vendor site how to do a "factory restore". Old machines used a disk, new ones have a encrypted locked partition on the drive someplace usually called "Recovery". Before you start, make sure the computer can't connect to the Internet. This may mean turning off your router and disconnecting Ethernet cables. You need power and you need to set the screensaver & monitor NOT to activate or sleep in your Control Panel (and set again after you restored)
3: Note that your going to lose everything, that's the object. And get the machine like it was when you bought it. (All self installed programs you'll install again from fresh sources later)
The factory restored anti-virus, Flash, Java, Reader, and all old programs on it are vulnerable. These all your going to have to remove, along with the PC vendor bloatware, trial ware, games and other garbage. In your Add/Remove Programs. If you don't do this, these old programs will get online and do a update and your machine can get pawned. Why you don't want a internet connection until they are removed. You just want Windows and nothing else. Enable your Windows Firewall in Security.
4: Now get online with a wired Ethernet connection to a fast Internet service at home, because (Vista over 200 updates, 2 days) and Windows 7 (SP1 + Win Live, a few hours) is going to take some time. Windows Update is in your Control Panel/Security or Start Menu > All Programs.
Install and activate the free Microsoft Security Essentials or free Avast anti-malware the first chance you get.
When doing Win 7 SP1, if it seems to stop, there is a Windows Live window behind the update window that needs to be "ok-ed" before it continues.
Vista updates are going to be especially painful, just rinse, reboot and repeat over and over until you get them all and there is nothing more it will give. Check the Start Menu > Shutdown for a indicator that it's going to install updates and perform the restart.You must keep clicking the "check for updates" until it's really clear.
5: Once the updating pain is over, you need to do a Windows Disk Cleanup and a Defrag before adding programs. (important for speed!) This can take hours. Will make Windows considerably faster.
6: Optional (good for notebooks): You can head to Performance > Advanced Setting and tone down Windows eye candy. Set to custom and delete everything but four options, the thumbnails, font and box smoothing and the last one. (or Windows will look like basic XP)
7: Make sure you do a System Restore Point of this "pristine" and very fast Windows. If you have the ability to make System Restore Disks and Images to DVD's DO IT!! Save yourself having to do this again one day.
8: Now install your programs and plugins: Flash, Java, Firefox 4 (fastest and the best) VLC, LibreOffice. CCleaner. etc.., Recommended sites: Qualy's Browser Check/ Mozilla Browser Check.
9: If your computer is still slow, check the RAM. Windows 7 & Vista needs 2GB just for themselves. So add more to your 4GB max (or more if your on 64bit). Check Crucial.com to make sure you get the right RAM specs for your computer.
10: Do a malware scan of the external drive/cd/dvd's before transferring files, always download new versions of programs from fresh sources so they are free of lingering malware. If all possible, use a Mac or Linux machine to scan for malware as they are much safer operating systems by default. Free ClamXav for OS X, ClamWin for Windows, Clamav for Linux. Update those malware definitions before a scan.
Good Luck!

ITunes was on XHD so I can't uninstall and reinstall. Help?

Because of computer issues and losing a number of laptop hard drives within 2 years, I stored my iTunes on an external hard drive. I lost access to this hard drive due to a worn out proprietary cable and have not been successful in getting a new one to access by XHD again yet. Due to this, I can't uninstall iTunes from my computer now and so cannot reinstall iTunes either.
I run Windows Vista.
Is there anyway this can be remedied?
I know there was talk going around of using a Windows Cleanup Utility or something, but Windows support boards said it was discontinued because it harmed other files and aspects of your computer. So, not including that either.

Due to this, I can't uninstall iTunes from my computer now and so cannot reinstall iTunes either.
Are you getting an "Invalid drive" error message? Or is something a bit different going on?

Can i uninstall and reinstall itunes w/out losing my library?

If so how? For some reason my itunes will no longer sync with my ipod.

I think if you are just uninstalling and reinstalling the same version of itunes, and you don't already have a problem with your library, it should be fine - however, you should copy your existing library file. The actual library file is called 'iTunes Library.itl' in your itunes folder; you should copy it to another folder just in case. Also check in iTunes help for 'saving playlists,' which might be another good thing to copy and put in a different folder just in case.
My recent experience was that I went from 7.4.2.4 to 7.3.2.6 and couldn't use my library file because it had been changed by 7.4 so it wouldn't work with 7.3. So I couldn't open itunes until I deleted the library file, which meant I had to reimport all my music and lost my playlists. It's been a big bummer, but I couldn't access the itunes store at all with the newest version and everything I tried didn't work, and I wanted to download and watch my daily shows!
I don't know if this really answers your question - I think if you are getting an error message you should try to find out why, because it seems like some people are having problems even after they reinstall.
