Cannot Uninstall 6.03 while installing 7.1.3

I donwloaded the latest update for Quicktime and proceeded to apply it to my PC. During the installation it tried to uninstall tmy previous version of Quicktime 6.0.3. It failed when it could not find QuickTime.msi.
So I tried to uninstall it from the start menu group. Same thing.
So I tried to uninstall it from Control Panel/Add Remove Programs. It also fails but doesn't bother to supply a reason.
Can someone help me get this thing uninstalled so I can load the latest version.
Thanks in advance.

Try running this to remove any QT showing up in there and then your QT7 installer again.

Cannot open key error while installing itunes on windows vista 64bit

I have downloaded iTunes to my desktop, disconnected from net, disabled firewall, and ran as administrator. Now I get an error saying: Could not open Key: UNKNOWN\Components\DA42BC89BF25F5BDOAF18C3B9B1AEE8\FD563AF386D2DE54F8388C8A8336 E1534 verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact you support personnel. Any suggestions??? Have tried for several weeks, to get iTunes 9.0 to install & run, am very frustrated, please help!!!

This is caused by a permissions issue with some of the apple registry keys. You need to uninstall every apple application and fix the registry permissions. I have written up the details of this below which I am sending to Apple support:

1) Uninstall all Apple Software components in the order recommended

2) Verify all Itunes Related components are completely uninstalled (Refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923)
3) Try to Reinstall Itunes

Cannot uninstall PSE10 after failed install (Windows 7 Home Premium)

I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 from a disk.
The process has gone like this:
I restarted my laptop and made sure it's Windows Updates were up-to-date.
I uninstalled the PSE9 trial that I had on this computer (that had expired a while ago).
Restarted laptop.
Put PSE10 disk 1 into drive and ran Autoplay.exe. [Maybe I accidentally ran it twice as at a later point I vaguely remember seening a message box saying 'can't ran ... at the same time' or something like that]
I chose the 'Install PSE10 option' - with no Premier trial.
The install app opened in a normal way and ran for several minutes while I did something else.
When I next looked it was displaying a message saying something like Couldn't install Shared Technologies...
I looked the issue up on the web and found an Adobe page saying to install Adobe Support Advisor, which I did and this identified the issue as "cpsid_83574r3: Read or write file system errors when installing - Creative Suite 5"
There was also a link to a help page which suggested Uninstalling the program, renaming any remaing PSE10 folders and reinstalling.
So I ran Uninstall - by running Autoplay.exe on the disk (couldn't find any other way).
This quickly produced an error and reported that no changes had been made.
I changed the name of the 'Photoshop Elements 10' and 'Elements 10 Organizer' folders anyway. This involved going into safe mode as the first folder would not delete.
Then I tried reinstalling. But everytime I try to reinstall via autoplay.exe it just offers me the uninstall option and this always fails with error message: Error 2343.Specified path is empty
What do I do next????

Jeff,
I have tried renaming the folders back to what they were - to no effect.
Uninstall does not work either by:
Using Control Panel -> Programs and Features. Photoshop Elements does not appear anywhere in the list of installed programs.
Running the Installation from the disk - it says it's going to do an uninstall and gives a 2343 error and says nothing's been changed.
The link you gave did not seem relevant as it was about looking at the install log and trying to spot the problem there. But the install log I have tells me what happened when I tried to run the original installation process.
I did manage to find the uninstall log.
The bit where things goes wrong looks like:
Action 17:06:45: SetCustomShortCutDir_uninstall.
Action start 17:06:45: SetCustomShortCutDir_uninstall.
Error 2343.Specified path is empty.
MSI (s) (EC:5C) [17:06:48:358]: Product: Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 -- Error 2343.Specified path is empty.
When I search for 'CustomShortCut', I find thsi further down the log
Property(S): CustomShortCutDir = C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
(I've checked and this directory does exist, but just has a shortcut to the Photoshop Elements 10 exe)
and a bit further down the log I found:
Property(C): CustomShortCutDir = P:\CustomShortCutDir\
This directory didn't exist (obviously). I do have a P: drive (an ordinary partition on my HDD), so I created the dir. But there was no effect the next time I tried to run uninstall.

Urgent: Cannot see shared volumes while installing Clusterware

I have made 4 extended logical drives from EMC shared storage to be visible from my two nodes on 64bit windows 2003 server. During Clusterware installation while selecting the disks for OCR and Voting file, I cannot see the raw shared volumes.
The following is the output of cluvfy utility for component shared storage accessibility,
# runcluvfy.exe comp ssa -n node1,node2
Verifying shared storage accessibility
Checking shared storage accessibility...
Shared storage check failed on nodes "node2,node1".
Verification of shared storage accessibility was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
I also get exectask.exe encounter a problem and needed to close meassage aswell.
[email protected]

The issue is resolved. I formatted the shared disks with NTFS file system. Then deleted the partition and recreated extended logical volumes and now the shared storage is accessible from the clusterware instalation for the selection of ocr and voting files.
Thanks anyways.

Pagemaker 7.0.1 stopped working. I cannot uninstall and any re-install attempt fails

Windows 8.01
My Pagemaker 7.0.1 stopped working. When I attempt to re install it it first tells me that the uninstall app will bot load and after it finishes, the program stops as soon as I open it. This is a fully licensed version.

Pagemaker does not work on windows 8. Some people have claimed to get it to work on win 7-8, but not consistently, and no one has demonstrated a reliable setup that is able to repeatedly output pdf files.
You need an old windows Xp machine to run Pagemaker. Other alternatives are Indesign, which expensive and complicated, but worth it if you do a lot of page layout. Serif pageplus is a fairly cheap alternative, or Scribus wich is a free alternative.

Cannot install driver, cannot update driver, cannot uninstall device

Dcannot install driver, cannot update driver, cannot uninstall device7 SB Audigy4 24 bit
Hi,
I have read the faq & tried numerous time all suggested steps, to no avail
In device mgr, I am unable to uninstall the device, services.exe goes to 50-80% cpu usage for hours & hours, without ever uninstalling my SB
If on the other hand, I try to install with one of the recommended driver, it invariably tells that it need to uninstall a previous driver, then it stays at the uninstall full sreen for hours. Oddly enough, device mgr gives me a code 8 (no driver installed)
I need to nuke whatever's left of the driver, something ctzapxx.exe has not been able to help me do so far
I have spent the better part of the last 3 days trying to get this fixed, you guys are my last hope before I reformat
Tks in advance

Thank you for the information, Harry. If you are installing from the HP CD which came with you then let us check with downloading the All-in-One software from the hp website and then check for the result.
First of all you need to uninstall the software which was already installed on your Vista computer , then we need to download the software and install the All-in-One software.
Here are the uninstallation steps to uninstall the software from the computer:
To completely uninstall the software, run the uninstaller at level three using these steps:
1. Turn the All-in-One off and disconnect any USB/Ethernet cable from All-in-One to computer.
2. Insert the all-in-one CD-ROM into the computer. Cancel any installation windows that appear.
3. Click Start on the taskbar and then click Run.
4. In the command box type the following command and press Enter key:
X:\Util\CCC\Uninstall_L3.bat
(X: is the CD-ROM drive letter of that the all-in-one CD-ROM is in)
Follow the above steps to uninstall the All-in-One software and then restart the computer .
Then download the software from the below web link:
full feature software in vista
Click on the above link and open the web page,after you open the above link click on download only button and save the file onto your desktop.
Here are the instructions to install the All-in-One software:
1) Unplug the USB cable from the back of the computer
2) Install HP Software using downloaded file => Double click on downloaded file => Choose Run and follow the onscreen instructions
3) Before starting the installation disable the antivirus and firewall and then proceed with the installation.
4) Plug in the USB cable when it prompts to connect in the midway of installation
Note : It is important that you connect the USB cable only when the software prompts you while you are installing the software.
Once you install the All-in-One software check for the result and let us know.

I cannot uninstall itunes version 10.7.0.21 from my laptop use of that I also cannot install the new update.

I cannot uninstall iTunes version 10.7.0.21 from my laptop (windows 7), therefore I cannot install the new iTunes version....!
Every time I try to do it, a "message" from the windows installer pops up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable", I try to find the installation package "iTunes.msi" but I can never find it either...!
The funny part is, I can still use this version, but I would like the have the update, which can make my computer much faster than now!
Can someone help me out??

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 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.

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 QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime 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.)

Cannot uninstall or install iTunes and more...

I cannot uninstall or install the latest version of iTunes, and I cannot activate itTunes via the desktop shortcut. When I try, it says that the application is only available for installed products, even though iTunes is installed on my computer. Anybody else have this problem?

I cannot uninstall or install the latest version of iTunes, and I cannot activate itTunes via the desktop shortcut. When I try, it says that the application is only available for installed products
with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

Open Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities). The left column should show your disk with its partition(s) indented below it:
How is the disk (top level container) formatted according to Disk Utility:

* How many partitions? (Should be 1 unless you have a Boot Camp partition.)
How is the partition (lower level container) formatted according to Disk Utility? (Should be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".)

Hi there,
Earlier iTunes (and supporting applications) need to be completely uninstalled before you can install the new version. Here's the complete Apple info on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Mobile device application will most likely fail to uninstall, so you would need to visit its location(s) and manually delete the files then folder(s). The location of the folders is documented in this link from Apple.
It's a pain, but it should work.
