Computer restarts when I try to uninstall Quicktime

Over the past few days my computer has restarted itself whenever I've tried to open a file with quicktime. A few other programs have been affected, but I have uninstalled them successfully. When I try to uninstal Quicktime, either from the start menu on the desktop, or in the Add/Remove section of Control Panel, my system restarts and Quicktime does not uninstall. I'm not sure if it will fix the problem, but it's something I believe I need to try. Oddly, I have not recently upgraded Quicktime, so I'm not sure what is causing the problem in the first place.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

When I try to start Firefox, I get the error message "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I have rebooted several times to no avail. Get the same message when I try to uninstall Firefox

When I try to start Firefox, I get the error message "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I have rebooted several times to no avail. Get the same message when I try to uninstall Firefox

Just had this same problem. Based on other suggestions I found on the web, went to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and deleted all files that ended with upgrade and/or delete. Then I was able to uninstall Firefox and then reinstalled. Hope this helps!

Firefox wont run says pc needs to restart to complete installation, it never does- same message when i try to uninstall

firefox will not open. when I try to uninstall it I get a message that says
PC needs to restart to complete previous firefox installation
but when I reboot I get the same message, I can not access Firefox in any manner

Glad it helped, <br>It probably would have been better to get to the root cause of the problem but if it is working again that is the important thing.
You could have problems at some later date, and one of the most important things is likely to be your collection of bookmarks. It will be worthwhile regularly making manual backups of those, and keeping them somewhere safe outside of the main firefox folders, if you ever need to do a full uninstall and reinstall, including deletion of old firefox data at least you will then be able to reinstate bookmarks. see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
As an example of what can easily go wrong, and an add-on recommended by another poster see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/787020 thread] ''"I deleted by mistake bookmarks by uninstalling the previous version of Firefox beta 4.011b... Is there anyway to recover them?" ''
leading to http://www.pikey.me.uk/mozilla/#bb as a method of automatically backing up bookmarks and profile information.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

Does it go through properly this time?

When I hook my iPad to my Sony Vaio running Windows 7, the unistall program gives me a msg to uninstall the Apple Mobile Application and iTunes to upgrade a driver. When I try to uninstall iTunes, the unistall program shows a msg "the program you are trying to unistall is on disk, please install the disk to continue.' I did not install the program from a disk but downloaded from the Apple Website. Does anyone know what causes this and how can I unistall iTunes to reinstall it. Thanks.

Hello< I have windows 7, I tried to install the new itunes version, last night 1/30/14, Im getting msvcr80.dll error 7 (windows error 126). Does anyone have a remedy for this? When I try to uninstall the ituned program it says it can't be found and to make sure I have permission to uninstall.

Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. I did the following:
1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replaced)
2) Restarted computer and still got error message
3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not recomment in their posted solutions but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
5) Restarted computer.
6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try.

When I try to install QuickTime, I get the message "newer version is already installed". How can I do?

When I try to install QuickTime, I get the message "newer version of QuickTime already installed". I uninstalled QuickTime. I have also gone into the registry and deleted all references regarding QuickTime. I really don't want to have to reinstall Windows just to be able to install QuickTime. I have used QuickTime for years and want to use it again. What do you suggest I do?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
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 QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

Tried to install newest itunes, crashed during install, and now crashes my computer every time i try to uninstall. Itunes doesn't show up in the Add/remove prog list at all. tried to roll back over a month, still crashing.

So I tried to update to the newest Itunes. It locked up my computer part way thru the install. Black screen, computer turned itself off. Now anytime i try to do anything with Itunes it shuts my computer down. I can start up fine in safe mode but when i try to uninstall from there, Itunes doesn't exist. the other apple programs do, but no itunes. when i try to uninstall the other programs in safe mode it tells me it can't because the windows installer isn't loaded. I have system restored to over a month ago and itunes still doesn't show up in add/remove programs. however, i can open itunes. it just tells me a file didn't get installed and to uninstall and reinstall. So, how do i remove a progam that doesn't think it exists and crashes my computer when i try to do anything related to it??? I'm out of ideas. running windows vista.

I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

Windows XP crashes and system restarts when I try to open Itunes 6

I tried to ask the people at Apple support what was going on. But they didn't seem to know. My system restarts when I try to open Itunes. It does it with the factory software I recieved with my 5g Ipod Video. It also does it with any updated version I install. If I reinstall Itunes the program works fine for about a day. Then it crashes my system again. Please help. I don't want to reinstall Itunes everyday in order to use it.

Now I have the blue screen and this is the error message.
* stop: 0x00000050 (0XBB9EA29E,0X00000000,0X8057DA81,0X00000002)
hmmmm. okay ... do you have an early version of Roxio CD Creator 5 installed on that PC?
i've seen this show up a few times. one of the early versions of Easy CD Creator 5 actually isn't compatible with XP:
Easy CD Creator 5.0 Does Not Function In Windows XP
... but sometimes the first time people know about this is when the PC starts throwing a 0x50 at them them they try to launch itunes or (of all things) plug in an ipod ...
if that doesn't seem to be a factor, another thing to try is vigorous spyware and virus scans (with fresh definitions). both haxdoor and sdbot can make PCs suddenly start throwing 0x50s after new software installs.
but if those turn up blank, let's try getting a minidump on the crash to the Discussions Hosts so they can throw it over the fence to the Apple Engineers for a look. (thanks to toonz for teaching me this one.)
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
And then send it to a Discussions Host. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.
