Cannot update or uninstall iTunes

When I try to update iTunes, i receive the following message:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes64.msi' in the box below.
I also have tried to uninstall from control panel and I recieve the same message.
I am using Windows 7, & I have not been able to use the Windows Clean Installer, as it is no longer available.
Could someone help me figure this out?

I have not been able to use the Windows Clean Installer, as it is no longer available.
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.)

  • Cannot update or uninstall iTunes due to missing iTunes.msi file

    I am trying to update my itunes 10.4.1.10 to the newest version. However, when I try to update or manually uninstall iTunes I get the following error message. I am logged into the admin account and on a wireless network. I've looked for the iTunes.msi folder in my iTunes folders and program folders but cannot find it. Also using Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is no longer an available option since Microsoft is saying that it damages files as well as fix them. Any ideas on what to do???

    Also using Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is no longer an available option since Microsoft is saying that it damages files as well as fix them.
    Nonetheless, it's the best game in town for this particular kind of trouble. So, just in case, I'll run you through my standard instructions for an itunes.msi variant (just in case).

  • I cannot update or uninstall iTunes with Windows XP.

    I have an older OS (windows XP) and have been trying to update iTunes.  I keep getting a message saying that Bonjour is on another network that I do not have access to.  It then tells me that iTunes.msi is not available either.  Now I am not able to sync my iPod.
    I have tried to uninstall iTunes to fix the problem, but I cannot do that either.  I get the same message about this missing Bonjour.  I would really like to update, or at the very least get rid of this version to get the newer iTunes.
    If anyone can help me figure out this problem, I would appreciate it more than I can say.
    Thank you in advance (especially if there is some simple solution that I have either not seen or tried )

  • Cannot start or uninstall iTunes

    Last night my power went off and caused me to have to do a system recovery on one of the users of my computer. While I was trying to figure out why the user's desktop was messed up I tried running Itunes. It said there was a new update so I went ahead and updated it. I then went through the recovery process and now I cannot start or uninstall Itunes. When I try to start it says there has been an error and asks me if I want to report it, I have answered yes and no and I also slected the debug option and that had no effect. When I try to uninstall it says it is starting the uninstallation wizard, but it never finishes. I seem to be stuck!

    I have the same problem, did you find a solution?

  • Can't update or uninstall itunes

    I tried to update my itunes to back up my iphone.  I get error messages "windows installer service could not be accessed.  This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed".  I've tried uninstalling itunes and am unable to do that also.  I have been searching for a fix.  I've tried most of the things I've seen regarding this error message and nothing has worked.  Please help!

    Is this on a 64-bit system? If so, try the following user tip:

  • Cannot install or uninstall iTunes

    When I tried to install the new V10.2 over 10.1.1.4 I continually got a message stating "The path to "c:.......iTunes64.msi" cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package "iTunes64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.". I checked the path and the file is where it says it should be. So, I moved the file to the desktop and tried to run if from there but got the same message. So I tried to uninstall iTunes as suggested in the online support but couldn't uninstall as I got the same message. Now iTunes won't run at all. Help.

  • TS3212 I have recently had to do a restore on my computer and now I can not update or uninstall Itunes

    Every time there is an update for itunes it will not update because it can not find my original MSI file even tho the MSI file is there and I can not uninstall Itunes because of the same MSI file , I have recently done a system restore on my computer and that is when the problem started.
    Can anyone help with this problem.

    Since this first message, the "Other" space has increased exponentially.  The first time, after the "restore", it increased to over 9 GB.  Later, I tried a minor restore again, and now it's over 10 GB.  I've seen someone suggest that text messages are to blame.  If my text messages are suddenly taking up 4 GB of space, I think we've got bigger problems.

  • Cannot update iPad with iTunes 11

    Cannot update iTunes 11 giving me message on my computer that I need to upgrade with 10.6.3
    Help!!!!

    Ckuan's advice is good, here's a small supplement beacuse you said "10.6.3".
    I think what's happening is you really meant "10.6.8", which is the minimum version of Apple's Mac OS X operating system that you need to run iTunes 11.  So I suspect you're really behind in lots of software.  (The current version of OS X is 10.8.2.)
    Anyway, presumably you have a Mac and need to get it up to at least OS X 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11.
    Good luck.

  • Cannot update Apps in iTunes 11.1.4

    I cannot update my Apps in iTunes 11.1.4. I have 30 that need to be updated and it keeps prompting me to enter the password without giving an error. The same login pop-up keeps coming up. I reset my password and know it is correct. I tried to sign-out of iCloud and iTunes Apple ID, then clear cache in iTunes. This does not help. Another thing that may help is that when I go to the iTunes store, the Apps page is blank, but I can view all other content within the iTunes Store. I have a Mac running Version 10.9.1 that is from 2009 (?) 2.26 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB Ram. Thanks.
