CANT INSTALL ITUNES 9. please help!

i keep trying to install the new iTunes and i am unable to no matter what i do.
ive downloaded the file 3 different times trying to see if itll change but doesnt. ive done some troubleshooting from apples help.
i keep getting the error message when trying to install:
"There is a plobrem with this WIndows Installer package. A program reguired for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personal or package vendor."
please help me someone...

This message often relates to a problem with Apple software update. So try this first:
Go to Add remove programs and find Apple Software update. Try repairing it.
Select Change>>repair.
If that works, try installing iTunes.
Otherwise try uninstalling any instance you find of Apple Software update. That probably will not work if repair didn't.
Next try an installer cleanup.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
Remove any instance you find of Apple software update with the cleanup utility.
Download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop.

Restart your computer and try installing iTunes.

Can't Install iTunes 10 Please Help!!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cannot install itunes 10 x64. Keep getting an error message saying bonjour services failed to start make sure you have sufficiant privelages. I have tried every fix i have seen including disabling my firewall and anti-virus, disabling bonjour service, uninstalling itunes and all traces of other programs, I have a Administrator account as well. I just purchased an iPad and have yet to be able to sync content from my itunes library becuase i cant install it. I am losing my mind over this and would very much appreciate any help. Very irritating having brand new iPad and not being able to sync. Thank you

hi, i am having a similar issue, i cant install itunes on my vista computer, it asks for admin perssions or sumthing, even though i am admin...anyway, they way i solved not being able to install through the itunes installer was, install itunes on another computer (has to be a windows based computer, doesnt matter what version or 64/32 bit) then copy the program files folder for itunes, ipod, and in common files under program files, the apple folder (it has the mobile device support, apple application support, etc) and put it all onto a usb, take it to the troublesome computer, close any itunes related services, and itunes of course (if the old version is still running) then copy it all back to program files. i know many people dont reccommend installing things this way, but this is an "uprade" not a fresh install, all the registry is written already.
i have tried this and it works exactly as it should, even though it was really cross platform, i have a triple boot xp(32bit)vista(32bit)and win7(64bit) i installed the new itunes on win7, then copied it over to xp and vista, despite the bit difference (b'cos itunes is only in 32-bit, the only 64-bit part of itunes is the installer) and it works fine still right now, ipod syncs, everything else works fine
hope this helps

Cant Install iTunes. Need Help Badly

I cant install the new iTunes. It keep saying Could Not Open Key: Hkeylocalmachine\software\classes\itunes.burn cd\shell. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your system personnel.
I tried ecerything, can someone please Help. Thanks in advance.

If iTunes is crashing, why don't you send a crash log to those lazy Apple engineers.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log" If there's already a file there, it most likely has multiple crash logs in it (new crash logs are just appended to the end of the file). So, delete this file. This will make sure you're not sending extra information I don't need. These crash logs are text files, so you can open them in notepad or whatever to see what information you're sending.
So, get the machine setup to collect crash logs, do the thing that makes iTunes crash. You need to send that file to our buddy Roy. Make sure that you include:
(1) the drwtsn32.log file.
(2) the link to this thread.
(3) a one line description of your problem, i.e. "iTunes crashes on launch".
(4) the username that you're using here in the discussion boards.
Roy is getting a little swamped with messages and needs to make sure he gets all the information. And if he doesn't get that information, the message is just going to get dropped on the floor.

I updated to Itunes 10.6.1.7. over 6 months ago on my windows XP desktop.It's worked well. Recently, on startup, a dialog box appeared which read: Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to burn or import CDs please re-install Itunes. Please help.

which ended with an error message and a code 2330. I have abandoned that idea. I would like to
re-install V10.6.1.7 or update to 10.6.3. but where do I find these old versions? Which do I use,
32 or 64 bit?
Please help.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Error message when trying to install itunes. please help

"This installation cannot be run by directly launching the MSI package. You must run setup.exe."
in Downloaded Installations folder on my computer, I clicked on the downloaded itunes applications and that was the dialog box that popped up on my screen. What do I do? And how do I do it! please help.
Message was edited by: minrd

hmmmm ... it sounds like you're clicking inside the folder containing installation configuration information for your iTunes.
what happens if you download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file to your desktop, and then run the install by doubleclicking on that?
here's a link to the installer download:

Creative Zen Micro Photo not tested for use with Windows so cant install it! Please help

Heya! Basically when installing the software for Microphoto it stops saying that as my device hasn't been tested for use with windows it cant install for fear of corrupting my laptop! Can anyone help me overcome this because i installed it aagges ago and it let me have the option of continuing the installating, but i had 2 uninstall it and upon reinstalling it it does not give me the option to continue. It just cancels the installation. Can someone please help me as this is driving me nuts!! Y is it that technology is continuosly mucking up grrrrr!
Lucy

Are you runnning Win XP SP2? If so, this is a standard warning about unsigned drivers, but it should still give you the option to "continue anyway" to complete the installation.
Also, make sure you have Windows Media Player 0, as this is needed for Windows XP (drivers) to recognize your MicroPhoto.

how can i solve this problem?
pls help,
Sagi

It's a fairly generic message. So probably the first thing to try would be to work through the "General Installation Troubleshooting" section from the following document:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
... if you run into any problems withose procedures, describe the problems with them for us. (That may be able to give us an additional heads up on what's causing your current installation error message.)

Installing itunes 9 "please help"

I'm having a couple of problems with iTunes right now. 1. It wont play videos and I have no idea why; all i get is a green screen with audio. 2. When I go to install iTunes 9 I get a message that says it can't finish installing because there is a program i'm missing necessary to have to install itunes. I thought it was quick time but that's installed and up-to-date. Does anyone have any idea's

Just attending to your first concern in this reply.
1. It wont play videos and I have no idea why; all i get is a green screen with audio
With a green screen like that, I'd work through the possibilities from the following Knowledge Base document, beginning with the *Disable Direct3D video acceleration in QuickTime* section:

ERROR trying to re-install iTunes 7-PLEASE HELP!!!

I have been trying to upgrade to iTunes 7.4 for the past week or so. Every time I have tried i get the below error message.
*"C:Documents and settings\owner\local settings\temporary internet files\content.IE5\Y7XOUHYM\iTunesSetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application"*
I followed the troubleshooting advice about removing all components of iTunes and Quicktime and re-installing it, but I can't get it to re-install.
Now i have no iTunes at all.
Please someone help with this issue!!
Before anyone says anything-yes I have posted this on the iTunes install and upgrade forum. I'm just trying to spread the topic to different forums for a better chance of getting a response.
thanks in advance

hi! Did you delete that specified file from Temporary Internet Files? Because it's cached, even if you've deleted all your iTunes files, but left that file in Temporary Internet Files, when you try to download the new iTunes, it will look at that file first to save the download progress.
Delete that file, and try to download the file again. Matter of fact, delete all of your Temporary Internet Files content and try.
Hope that helps a little,
AL
