Corrupt iTunes.msi file can't un-install or update to 10.5

I'm using Win XP Pro and tried to update to ver. 10.5 but install progrm says itunes.msi is on another netwoek. When I resotred a bakcup it says the file is not a valid install file and won't let me continue. What next?

Are you using this update? (The combo one?)
If you are using the delta update, it will only work if you are coming from 10.5.2.

  • How do I remove iTunes 10.2.2.12 from computer? I get a message that iTunes.msi file can not be found, so I can't remove it. Help

    How do I remove iTunes 10.2.2.12 from Windows XP?
    I get a message that iTunes.msi can not be found or is corrupted.
    I want to install latest version, but can't get remove older version.

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

  • I can't install or uninstall itunes.  Says the iTunes.msi file is not a valid file.  My iTunes started acting odd after having the Windows XP virus.  I got ride of the virus, but then the repercussion of having it have wrecked havoc.

    An error pops up saying that the file isn't found and then when I link it to the file, the error says it isn't a valid itunes.msi file.  I had iTunes on my PC but it won't work properly so I am trying to re-install or update it.  Neither works.

    So I tried installing it and when I did it stopped at a certain point, giving me a message about "not being able to write to the file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\ iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\ipodsettings.nib\objects.xib"
    problems with language resource files and folders (i believe that's one of the French ones that you're having a problem with) are often produced by disk damage around the areas of the files in question.
    so perhaps let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive. see:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? if so, does the uninstall or reinstall go through any better afterwards?

  • So whenever I try to download the newest itunes file it won't let me finish the install process because I'm missing the "Itunes.msi" file whatever that is and I've done some searches but I cannot find the file. Anyone know what to do?

  • Can't update or uninstall, missing iTunes.msi file

    I was trying to use homesharing, got iTunes messed up so that it wouldn't update. Now I can't update or uninstall...Get the message: "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unaccessable." Problem seems to be that the iTunes.msi file is not accessable?

  • 7.5 won't install ... 'iTunes.msi' file missing...

    Trying to install the new iTunes 7.5 because I'm getting an iPhone tomorrow and want to have the latest version for the phone (I currently have 7.3). However, it says that the iTunes.msi file is missing...and I can't find it either. I can't upgrade my version of iTunes or even uninstall what I do have right now because I can't find the freaking file. Any ideas as to what I should do?
    Thanks to anyone who can help, it is VERY much appreciated...

    With a missing iTunes .msi message, try the following procedure.
    First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
    Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility.
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Use it to clear any existing iTunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC. Launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (7) Restart your computer.
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
