(continued) Various attempts to locate jre1.6.0_21-c.msi w/ mangled install

First I attempted to download jre-6u21-windows-i586.exe as instructed, to attempt to install (so that I could un-install). Here is the result:
Windows Installer : Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
Next, I attempted to download jre-6u21-windows-i586-iftw-rv.exe. Here is the result:
Java Setup : This software has already been installed on your computer. Would you like to re-install it? (I pressed the Yes button).
It then attempted an uninstall, and failed.
After re-running to the validation prompt above, I scanned the hard-drive, and found the .msi file I was looking for.
I then proceeded to Start + Control Panel + Add/Remove Programs, to attempt the un-install, and specify the .msi when it was required. This is the result:
Windows Installer : The file 'C:\Documents and Settings\John\Application Data\Sun\Java\jre1.6.0_21\jre1.6.0_21-c.msi' is not a valid installation package for the product Java(TM) 6 Update 21. Try to find the installation package 'jre1.6.0_21-c.msi' in a folder from which you can install Java(T) 6 Update 21.
I've done my part. Perhaps gremlins. Any help you can provide would be appreciated,

That doesn't make any sense to install something so that you can uninstall it. Care to explain what you are trying to do?His Windows installation has failed and left the install in a dead state, wherein, he cannot fully remove the crashed install, nor can he continue the current install. If you have had a few of the experiences I've had over he last 30+ years, you may decide it better to complete the install, then uninstall the completed install. Once this is done, theoretically, you have a system that is void of nasty little bits of the previous install--alas, this is not always the case. Usually I have to manually delete the crashed install, then clear the registry with a registry cleaner (or manually), then find the problem that originally caused the install to fail, then fix that problem--and it's usually a registry problem or corrupt index in Windows. Once that has been done, the install will usually go without event. Once the install has completed comes the quandry: do I trust it? I will usually do the uninstall, see it to an uneventful completion, then do the registry cleaner again, reboot, and then do the install all over again.
I've come to this process through trial and error, that crashed install, on Windows, tends to lead nasty little artifacts around to surprise you when you least expect it.

    I don't know of any msi file. The only downloads I know exist are in the download archive:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u21-b07-oth-JPR
    A quick google seems to indicate that the msi file exists on the filesystem after you install the runtime once.

    Still getting same error message. Can anyone help me

    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 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.

    I purchased mountain lion, but after numerous attempts until my fingers all gone numb, i simply cannot install it on my imac. i get this error message: "an error occurred while installing OS X, you cannot install OS X on this disk......".
    please help!
    imac specs:

    Tell us more about the disk and partition onto which you are trying to install Mountain Lion:
    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:
    * What Partiton Map Scheme? (Should be "GUID Partition Table".)
    * 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)".)

  • HT5030 itunes cannot locate or access the itunes64.msi file to update

    itunes cannot locate or access the itunes64.msi file to update

    Okay. Let's try newer versions of the instructions, then.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the 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 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?

    Hi, Need help. I am trying to download the latest iTunes for Windows application but on running the program it says that it can not be completed as it can not find the folder location of the file "iTunes.msi" . Any clues would be appreciated

    (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 iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HELP - Continuous Hotsync attempts

    My phone (Treo 650) has worked well and syncs using the wireless sync.  I haven't used the USB cable to do a local sync since I originally set the phone up.
    A couple of days ago something happened to the phone (not sure if my child accidently changed setting or what), but about every 2-5 minutes, the phone is attempting to perform a local hotsync.  It automatically goes to the hotsync screen and begins the hotsync process.  This is the screen that shows Local/Modem options.  It always ends in an error as I do not connect my phone via cable to perform a sync (I do it wirelessly via wireless sync).  It does this all day now and the phone can hardly be used because it is always trying to sync. 
    Please note, it is continuing to perform the scheduled wireless sync succesfully in the background as it has for over a year.
    Please advise on how to turn this hotsync off on my phone.
    I have chatted with support and they don't get it.  I tried connecting to PC via USB cable and it works fine.  I tried doing a soft, warm and hard reset but it continues the same thing.
    Is there a "secret" button that could be jammed in that is always trying to iniate the hotsync?  Please help. 
    Post relates to: Treo 650 (Verizon)

    Ok, narrowed down the problem and possible solution(s) to this.  Palm, Verizon, etc... offer no help.  They focus on software but they know it's a hardware problem.
    It is not a software problem, it is a problem with the wire connectors either inside or outside the bottom of the phone.  When the circuit is complete among a couple of these, it initiates the hot sync (as if the cable was connected and someone is constantly pressing the hotsync button). 
    Try cleaning like guy said above first.  It didn't work on my phone, but works on some.
    A quick work around, although not perfect and is a pain sometime because the keyboard won't work (because it still acts like button is pressed) - is to go into the Preferences-->Buttons-->Click Hotsync option-->change so that when the hotsync button is pressed, it goes to your mail, or phone, or main screen, etc...  This will keep the phone from automatically syncing all the time and will let you actually use the phone.  Problem is that when the phone is powered off, it will still come on as if the sync button on cable is pressed, however it will go to mail, phone, etc... instead of trying to hotsync.  If keyboard freezes, just take battery out and restart.
