Could Not Install iTunes 7.2 on my machine Windows XP Home Edition

I am trying to install iTunes after downloading from Apple site. While trying to install, I am getting the following message "Error 1316. A network error occured while attempting to read from the file. I am using Dell Desktop with Windows XP Home operating system with 256MB RAM. C:\Windows\Installer\Tunes.msi. Can any one give probable cause and solution for this?
Thanks

This is a very popular problem. There are a lot of steps to this so it might take quite awhile.
Before doing any of these steps, click start and click Search. Type in itunes.msi and if anything pops up double click on that file and you should be all set.
Keep in mind that you must be a little more than average computer literate to understand what to do.
1. Go to http://www.ccleaner.com/ and download and install CCleaner. Run this program and click Run Cleaner. This program will remove most of your temporary files.
2. Go to http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1b d/msicuu2.exe and download and install Windows Install Clean Up utility. Click on iTunes and click Remove. Do the same for Quicktime.
3. Now you need to manually delete all of your iTunes and Quicktime files. This can take a very long time. Just go to C: and start searching through.
4. Go to the Run box and type in "regedit". Go through all of the folders in there and delete all iTunes and Quicktime files.
5. Go to Add/Remove Programs and Remove iTunes and Quicktime.
6. Download iTunes again and install it.
If you have any problems, post back and I'll answer them the best I can for you. I got this answer from ken from this thread: http://www.asksomeone.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=4801.
You might not need to do every single one of these steps, but it still cleans out your hard drive if you ever need any extra space, and I don't really want to test which ones you need and which ones you don't.

  • Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem.

    Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem. This is doing this when installing itunes/quicktime, safari 5, mobileme control panel, and the software update itself. The itunes version is 10.3.1

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I cannot install iTunes 10.2 64 bit on Windows 7 Home Premium

    I'm able to download the iTunes 10.2 64 bit program without any issue. However, when I try to intall the program Windows installer issues error message: "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package”.
    I have tried to open 'itunes64bit.exe' as the Administrator but this still doesn't work!
    I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7.
    One member had a solution whereby they downloaded a program from Orca to increase Windows Installer’s capability and another to help install iTunes.
    The problem is that Windows Installer will not install these downloaded programs either!
    I’ve followed tech advice to change the Windows Installer setting from ‘Service Status’ stopped to ‘Service Status’ started and applied/ok’d changes. However, as soon as I try to install a non-windows program it automatically defaults to the ‘stopped’ setting and issues the error message about not being able to verify the package being installed.
    I followed the steps to unregister and reregister Windows Installer too, also to no avail.
    You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator.

    Hi Lee,
    "You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator."
    You are correct but to a point.  I thought so too, however, like you, I am "second in command"...under myself. 
    I was in the same situation and tried others' successful workarounds.  Nope.  Actually, an ongoing frustration for a few months to no avail...until I came across this link, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/ this-installation-package-could-not-be-opened/40c3cf33-b155-4dc7-b21e-ca5acce105 f3.  It shows you how to access the Administrator login, literally.  It worked for me. 
    This is from a Microsoft support page (SJ has probably been alerted, so I don't have much time, LOL).  I did not want to hit that "final" option and reinstall Win 7.  The first time was trying enough and I was about to give in.  
    " I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7."
    I was opposite on this one.  What led me to think it wasn't the above was seeing this user " ` " , also known as Accent grave.  The Users first file is labeled " ` " and has a little gold lock on it.  When I scanned Task Manager, under Processes Tab, the User Name column showed " ` " attached to certain processes.  I knew it was me, but did not realize it was the Alpha me 
    I cannot say if the system automatically did this or I or Alpha (I'm blaming Alpha).  If there is a way to change this I do not know, and if I should.  Either way, I will do some more research and pray another personality isn't isn't lurking about
    Hope this helps you.

  • Is iTunes 11.1.0 compatible with Windows XP Home Edition?

    I am trying to update my iTunes to 11.1.0, but get a Windows error message that says it might not be compatible with Windows XP (Home Edition).  I've never had this problem updating iTunes before.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Has XP been updated to Service Pack 2? Right-click Computer on your desktop or in the start menu and click Properties. Visit Windows/Microsoft Update and install the service pack if needed, otherwise ignore the error and continue.

  • I can not install itunes 10.5.2 on my windows 7.

    i got the new white ipiod touch and i downloaded itunes 105.2 but when i try to install it i get two errors

    Then i hit it ignore and the first error pops up again and then i hit "ok". After that it says it can not continue.
    I've tried everything such as using ASU(apple software updater) and using the download only and installing manually. I unistalled everything apple related and tried it fresh again and it doesnt work either. I tried saving it to my hard drive and disconnnecting from interenet and turned off all protections andi get the same excat error each time. The farthest i've gotton is when i installed it and it said i needed an apple application supporter and when i tried to install the AAS i got the same error above so it seems nothing will work. What can i do?

    Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
    Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
    If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com.  Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan.  Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans.  Restart computer.
    Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
    If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
    GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
    Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
    Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
    Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors  This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
    Good Luck!!.

    I would recommend using Microsoft's MSI Fix It utility to uninstall both AIR and Long Tail Pro.  Once uninstalled, go and install AIR from http://get.adobe.com/air then install Long Tail Pro again.

  • How may I eliminate all of iTunes from Windows XP Home Edition before making a "clean" installation of iTunes?

    Hello.  I found that in Windows XP Home Edition that I had two subdirectories of iTunes: C:\Program Files\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes(2).  I assume this situation has arisen by me not properly updating iTunes in the past.  When it came time to update iTunes from one of the version 10.3s to version 10.4 of iTunes, I tried to do something about the pair of iTunes subdirectories.  Via Start, Control Panel, and Add or Remove Programs I "Remove"d the only listing of iTunes; that is iTunes(2) was not listed there.  But afterwards C:\Program Files\iTunes(2) still existed, as viewed in the program Windows Explorer.  Next while offline I installed iTunes10.4 by running the downloaded file iTunesSetup(4).exe in my case.  I chose C:\Program Files\iTunes(2) as the directory for installation.  Next I uninstalled iTunes via Add or Revmove Programs.  The directory C:\Program Files\iTunes(2) then still existed.  I need an iTunes cleanup utility, if there is one, or else a way to eliminate all vestiges of iTunes, including registry entries, from my Windows XP Home Edition.  [I think this situation is the opposite of a situation in which the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (WICU) would apply.  I think the WICU is useful when a program is visible by name in the Windows Add or Remove Programs list, but can't be removed by clicking on "Remove" in that list.]  [I also noticed the directory C:\Program Files\iPod(2).  Is that directory associated with iTunes(2)?]  After that I would hope that a fresh offline installation of iTunes 10.4 to my computer's hard-disk drive would result in only C:\Program Files\iTunes among iTunes subdirectories in C:\Program Files when viewed in Windows Explorer.  Please inform me how to reach this goal.  Thanks.

    I'd also dig down into where your home user account holds temp files, as well as application preferences and support. I just know Vista began using \myaccount\AppData and multiple locations under there.
    Apple leaves behind every past installer cache, support (imporant to get rid of that also).
    The first thing I do (no iPod etc) is uninstall Bonjour and disable iPod and MobileMe.
    Windows Uninstaller Cleanup Utility also use to be a must for stubborn "partially installed" apps.
    When you are done, CCleaner and Registry.
    Another place to clean is %TEMP% (may be different in XP).

    Hi Rick,
    by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
    Success,
    Peter
