To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you 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", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Unable to install iTunes 8 or to uninstall old version of iTunes

    I have an old version of iTunes (more than two years) and wish to install iTunes 8. However, I am neiher able to install the latest version of iTunes or uninstall the old one. When I try the windows uninstall program, I get the error message that the path to AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi cannot be found. It appears the update has not taken effect, but I cannot find the above update file to do that. Thoughts much apprecitated.

    I've found it !
    The answer is here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1838835&tstart=15
    Install the Windows Installer Cleanup tool and remove the entries for :
    . Apple Software Update
    . Bonjour
    . Quicktime
    . iTunes
    Then, the installation program will work correctly !
    1 day lost for that.
    Thansk Mr Apple to fix your installation procedure ! It is too much fragile !
    and remember that temporary directories are made to be cleaned up !

  • Cannot uninstall old version of PS CS2

    I updated my mac to lion recently and even though I have a new version of CS5 I still have an old student version of CS2 that I cannot unistall with the "unistall program" that comes with the program. Lion doesn't support any PowerPC application.  I asked at the mac forum how to get rid of this old version but they told me to refer to this forum. Anybody?   I thought I could just drag and drop to the trash but would that really unistall all the program? I will do the same for illustrator, indesign and acrobat as I have CS2.
    Thanks in advance for any commnets on this.

  • Cannot uninstall old version of Qt

    Hi all,
    Sorry if this is not a right place to ask this question. I just recently switch to Mac and am a newbie indeed. Here is my problem:
    I build and install several Qt developer suites from source using the traditional Unix method (configure, make, make install, etc.) with option framework disabled (I want to use the libraries in the form of .dylib only). Now when I installed new version of Qt (4.6.2) and linked my program to this new set of libraries, everything went fine; but at runtime, the system keeps complaining that there are 2 different versions of libraries and that it does not know what to use. Something like this:
    <Quote>
    objc[2450]: Class QMacSoundDelegate is implemented in both /usr/local/Qt-4.6.2/lib/libQtGui.4.dylib and /usr/local/Qt-4.5.3/lib/libQtGui.4.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
    </Quote>
    Even-though if I delete the old library folder, this error still appear. Where in the system does Mac kernel keep track of what software version being installed? I looked everywhere but couldn't find it (/System/Library/Application Support, /System/Library/CoreServices, etc.)
    Please help.

    You cannot install QuickTime 4, or indeed any downloadable version of QuickTime, in Mac OS X 10.6 and have it work. Forcing it into Mac OS X 10.6 is very likely to have caused damage to the operating system by overwriting critical files. The only effective way you're probably going to find to remove it is to reinstall Mac OS X 10.6.
    If you want to have access to old versions of QuickTime, you need to be running a compatible version of Mac OS X, on a development system, one with a PowerPC processor since no version of Mac OS X old enough to run QuickTime 4.x will run on an Intel-based Mac. If you need to run multiple QT versions, create separate volumes, each with its own copy of Mac OS X and different version of QuickTime.

  • Can't uninstall old version of iTunes on Windows Vista

    I have been trying to install updates for iTunes for a long time now (pretty much since update 7) and have not been able to do so because once the install occurs I'm that there is a resource network unavailable.  I'm them prompted to change the file path to something that contains "iTunes.msi".  I do that and it doesn't work.  When I search my computer for the "iTunes.msi" file it can't find it but during the download process the option is given to me when I browse, but it still doesn't work.
    I have tried a manual download of iTunes.  I have tried to uninstall iTunes from my Control Panel and get the same response as above.
    This issue is only affecting iTunes.  Other Apple programs have been able to update.
    Help.
    Thanks.

    Try using Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
    After it uninstalls iTunes you should be able to install the new version.

  • Cannot Uninstall old version of Quicktime

    I use my grandparents' computer for my iTunes and it was fine, but we had a couple problems so my grandpa wiped everything he didn't use...including iTunes!
    I tried reinstalling the new version, but then it said it would't work because Quicktime wasn't installed.
    So, I tried installing Quicktime 7. The Download was fine, but then during the Installation (after agreeing to the Terms and Services, they tell you to click install) there's a window that comes up that says:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailible. Click 'OK' to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below...
    I asked my uncle and he said I have to look manually for the Quicktime folder because it might've gotten moved around when we got the computer looked at, but I've looked absolutely everywhere and there's no sign that QuickTime is even on the computer!
    And now, after clicking out of the pop-up, the new window says: "The older version of QuickTime cannot be removed...please contact your technical support group."
    I don't want to spend a lot of money, but I have about $300 saved up on my iTunes, and I really want to start to add more to my library. Is there any way I can get QuickTime up so I can start using iTunes?

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailible. Click 'OK' to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below...
    That message is usually caused by a damaged QuickTime.msi rather than a missing one.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs 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 this time?

    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.)

  • "The old version of iTunes cannot be removed. Contact our technical support group"

    I tried to install iTunes on an old computer I Recently received from a friend. I tried to install iTunes from the Apple website and it gives me the message with "The old version of iTunes cannot be removed. Contact our technical support group". I went on my Control Panel and deleted Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple software Update, Bonjor, and even Quicktime Player in the respectable order. No things say iTunes was installed. I deleted everything from my Applicantion data to my Temp files. There are no files in my computer linked with Apple or iTunes, and when i try it after i delete it again and again, the problem still persits. Can you 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 the 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.
    If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    If you still have no luck try reinstalling iTunes 12.0, links in the user tip.
