Can't update/remove itunes; problems on windows installer

I've been trying to update my 10.6 iTunes because my IO6 devices only require 10.7 but windows installer has been giving me problems. I've got error messages such as;
"Error occured furing installation. Your system has not been modified"
"Windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if service installer is not correctly installed. Contact support personel."
"Windows installer could not be accessed. This can oocur if you are running windows in a safe mode or windows installer is not correctly installed."
I 've been searching solution online but still hasn't solve this.
I hope someone can help me with this.

Is this on a 64-bit system, steffi? If so, try the following user tip:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed" error messages when installing iTunes for Windows on 64-bit systems

    (iTunes) Problem with Windows installer package?  I try to install the new version of iTunes but get an error "Problem with Windows installer package.  A Program required for this install could not be run."  Can anyone help shed some light for me as to how to correct this?  I have tried to install the program through Chrome, Explorer and FireFox but have had no success.  I have included a screenshot of the error.  Hopefully it's visable.  Thank you for any help.

  • I can't update to iTunes 12 on Windows 7.

    I am trying to updating iTunes to vs 12 on Windows 7 32 bit. I can't install....it goes clear thru the installation process, and then the error pops up with this message.  I am doing it manually
    The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\nb.lproj. The installation cannot continue Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator 
    I have checked and I "am" logged in as administrator. There is no password. There is only one account on this computer. I can't click on the update and choose Run As Administrator...... 
    My current vs is 11.4
    Please help.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help

    Firstly, are you installing iTunes for the first time or are you updating your current version of iTunes?
    If you're installing iTunes for the first time have you tried redownloading the installer package? Perhaps the file you downloaded originally is corrupted...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you've tried that, then try installing iTunes as your computer's administrator. To do this right-click the install package and choose "Run as administrator".
    If you're updating iTunes to the most recent version try repairing the Apple Software Update program on your computer. It's under the add/remove programs.
    1. Open the control panel
    2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
    3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
    4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
    Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
    Fingers crossed!

  • TS1538 Problem with instal of the latest update of iTunes on my Windows 8 computer

    I have installed the latest update of iTunes on my Windows 8 computer but now have a problem in that iTunes does not recogise my iPhone.  I get a message that I need a new version of "Apple Mobile Device Support".  However, I can't delete the old file?  I get a message saying "The older version of Apple Mobile Device Support cannot be removed.  Contact your technical support group."
    Any suggestions?

    I've not had this problem since getting windows 8 but did previously use a free program from Microsoft called "windows install clean up" which I found online (at that time I needed to remove a stubborn QuickTime programe from windows 7).
    May be worth a search for if you've got time. It worked amazingly before and remomved programs that otherwise refused to be unintalled!

    Anti-Virus software you ahve is blocking some files from Itunes, Switch off Anti-virus and try install again. If that fails then remove Antivirus, install ITunes and re-install Antivirus should work fine.

  • How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

    How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

    iTunes, along with Quick Time, iCloud, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support can all be removed from your PC by uninstalling them using 'Uninstall or change a program' in Control Panel. The only obvious thing that will be left behind is your iTunes library which remains untouched. If you want to remove that as well it's just a question of deleting it.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can i update my iTunes to the latest version on window vista?

    how can i update my iTunes to the latest version on window vista?

    The same way it is updated on every other version of Windows, simply update the software.

  • I am missing itunes.msi and can not update my itunes and it will not let me remove and re install.  how do i fix this

    i am missing Itunes.msi on my computer.  it wont let me unistall and re-install - how can i fix this

    (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
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. 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?

  • I can't install Itunes because of Windows installer package error, please help!

    I tried installing Itunes for a long time on my desktop, I'm running Vista. Everytime I try to install Itunes it runs for a bit, then gives me this message
    " There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    I went through many posts on how to solve this problem, I uninstalled and deleted all the files from this thread : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    and tried to reinstall Itunes, didn't work, same error message.
    After i tried to install Itunes in Clean boot still didn't work.
    I also downloaded MicrosoftFixit.Program which apperantly fixed this problem for some people, not for me.
    Then I extracted Itunes and tried to install all the components seperately, everything installed correctly, however when I tried to install Apple Software update
    I got the same error message, i think it is the Apple software update that is causing this problem but I have no idea how to solve this problem.
    How do I solve this, any thoughts or suggestions???

    Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    Now, uninstall Bonjour from Control Panel.
