Cannot install iTunes 10 - There is a problem... windows installer package

Hi, sorry, first time posting. Ever since updating iTunes (as requested), it seemed to install but ever time I clicked on the icon, it just would not open. After uninstalling all the apple components and rebooting (including folders), I re-installed iTunes+quicktime, I got the following error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for the install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor".
Please help! Have loads of new CD's from christmas and cannot upload onto my iPod!!
If there is anything else, please let me know! (PS I tried installing as Admin also, still no joy!)

hi. did you guys ever found out what the solution is to this prob? im having the same problems with my computer. if ever any of you resolve this, can you tell me how. thanks..

  • I cannot install iTunes 10.5. Problem is that there are rest of installations. I uninstalled all iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apples components, but problem goes on. I run WIN XP SP 3 32 BITS. I accept ideas to solve, thanks.

    A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
    When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Cannot install iTunes or Safari on my Windows 7 pc

    I ran my recovery discs in my Windows 7 pc today. Hence, iTunes was removed. I cannot reinstall iTunes. I read something about its may having to do something with the type of browser that you use to download iTunes. I used Google Chrome and Internet explorer. I tried saving the installer as an application on my desktop and tried to install from the app. I then tried to download Safari, thinking that might help. However, Safari will not work either. I received two error messages:
    1. I might not have product eligiblity or authority or authorization ...something like that
    2. Something about not having Apple support applications
    3. A third thing that was in computerese hyroglyphics
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Cannot install iTunes 10.6.3 for Windows Vista

    Half way through installing the process stops with the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." What exactly would I be missing??? please help !

    Repair your Apple software update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
    START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR,

  • I cannot install itunes 10.5.1 on windows XP.

    It gets about 3/4 way through installing then says there has been an error try downloading manually, which i do and the same error message appears.
    I have been trying to get this downloaded for ages now, and have trawlled through these discussion threads and tried everything people are recommending.
    I have not yet uninstalled itunes because I am worried if I do I will lose all of my music pics etc.
    If this is not the case then I'll try that as my next port of call

    I had a problem installing latest vertion of Itunes "10.5. blabla". It took me a while. Now I was able to uninstall. I had to do repair on Apple update for it to uninstall. Before I did the repair I got the same error message as when I tried to intall the latest version of Itunes. I'm going to try to install everything again.
    More or less these are the symptoms of issue:
    1)Dell XPS L702X, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2820QM CPU @2.30GHz, 8gb ram, 64bit,
    2) I don't use the PC, my Wife does, I'm the only one that is the administrator, Is being about 6-8 months since I last installed the itunes
    3) I have an iphone and I tried to update both the PC and the phone
    4) Got the following message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel package vendor"
    5)I tried many things, I got instructions on how to uninstall itunes completely,
            A. Itunes uninstalled with no issue
            B. Quicktime uninstalled with no issue
            C. Apple Software Update COULD NOT UNINSTALL, got same error as 4) above
            D. Apple Mobile Device Supporet uninstalled no issue
            E. Bonjour uninstalled with no issues
            F. Apple Application Support uninstalled no issues
    6) Then I read on a thread to go to control panel, remove programs, find the name of the program, right click, then click repair. I did this and then the software C uninstalled succesfully.
    Now I'm going to try to reinstall the entire Itunes software and see if it works now.

  • I cannot install Itunes 10.1.1 on Windows 7 x64...

    Hi all!!
    I bought my ipod touch two days ago. But I cannot install iTunes on my pc.
    I downloaded Itunes for x64 pc and I ran it as admin. So it starts and it stops ends the installation process and saying me -in italian language- "Si sono verificati errori prima che iTunes potrebbe essere configurato. Il sistema non è stato modificato". In english language it means: "Troubles occurred before iTunes could be set up".
    I tried to delete "Temp" folder in appdata/local.
    I'm a bit sad...

  • HT5030 whem installing itunes i get this message "this installation package could not be opened. Verifiy that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

    whem installing itunes on my mums new computer which is windows 7 i get this message everytime "this installation package could not be opened. Verifiy that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

    Let's check your Windows system.
    1.  Have you done all the important windows updates and service Packs on your system.  If not do it now.  START button, type in Windows Update and ENTER.  Select 'CHECK FOR UPDATES'
    2.  Let's check your Windows system files for possible file corruption
    SCAN and repair possible Windows system file corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.
    3.  Check your system for possible Malware.  But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
    Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to this link download a free version of Malwarebyte.
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
    To start your computer in safe mode
    Press and hold the F8 key as your computer starts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
    On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
    When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

  • Cannot install itunes 10.6 to my windows 7 computer. Have tried several times, completely unistalled several times, all with same result. Error message that starts "An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft VC80 CRT. type="win 32"

    Keep getting the following error message when I try to instal itunes 10.6.  An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft VC80 CRT.type="win 32". version = "8.0 50727.61 95". public Key token = ""1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b." processor architeture = "x86". Please refer to help and support for more information.
    HRESULT:0x80073712
    The program then acts like it is still trying to load, but then I get another message later which reads:
    Service 'Aple Mobile Device' failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    any suggestions?

    HRESULT: 0x80073712
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80073712, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • I am having problems with installing Itunes 10.5 .With the windows installer

    I am having problems with installing Itunes 10.5.It's the first time i dowload it,but every time het gives me an error message that a programm that was needed for installing didn't run.
    What can i do???

    When I attempt the download for Itunes 10.6, I get an immediate response of ""Files shared by these updates" has an invalid signature. The download has been removed."
    That's suggesting that the AppleApplicationSupport.msi is getting damaged during the download via Apple Software Update for Windows.
    Are you able to get the 10.6  update to go through if you use an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file from the Apple Website?
