If you are below 10.6.8, you must get there first.

    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 Apple Software Update 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?

  • Trying to re-install itunes error message "the older version of Apple software update cannot be removed" ?

    Unable to re-install itunes as error message appears "The Older Version Of Apple Software Update Cannot Be Removed"
    Been to control panel and found apple software update but still unable to remove   Help!!

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • The older version of Apple Software Update Cannot be removed-WinXP

    I have followed every step from the support site concerning completely removing iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, and Apple Software Update to no avail.
    I then went and through the installation of the following tools to clean any remaining elements from my system.
    installed and ran Windows Install Clean Up
    Installed and ran  Revo Unistaller
    I went to the Apple site and downloaded a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5 and ran the install, all went well until the following message appeared.
    The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed.
    This indicated to me that I must have some lingering components on the system that the installer sees and I cannot find.
    I went back through the registry and searched for any entries having to do with Apple, Bonjour, Qwicktime and removed any and all.
    Still the same error.  So this is where it sits,
    Any additional suggestions from anyone?

    I have done the exact same steps as Drewfromlacenter over the past week.  Also to no avail.  Same message about the older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed, and it tells me to contact my Technical Support Group.  Who is that anyway??  Any suggestions where we go from here?

  • I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive? 2) When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening?

    I just downloaded the latest version of firefox (5.0). Can I delete all the older versions that are still on my drive?
    When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

  • "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed..."

    When trying to update the Itunes software, I received an error message that indicated the application could not find a file. Since then, I've tried uninstalling all Quicktime, Itunes, and Ipod software and deleting all entries. I now receive the message "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group" when I try to reinstall Itunes. Please help.

    okay, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and use it to remove the installation configuration information for your Apple Software Update:
