ERROR 2738 when installing Itunes with Vista

I tried to install the latest version of Itunes on my laptop (a dell Inspiron 6400 running Vista). When I'm in the installation I get the message that the installation can@t be completed with error code 2738. Anyone had this before? Help!

Just doublechecking something. Were you installing the version 7.3.0.54 that came out just yesterday, or an earlier version?
If it was an earlier version, perhaps try a 7.3.0.54 install to see if that goes through any better. Here's a link through to that installer:

    Yes, this is a known defect:  CSCue69477 - CTI Route Port Synch Issue with CUCM.  As per the bug: 
    "This issue will occur if the "SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space" under Protocol Specific Information in the Template for the CTI Route Ports is configured. To work around this, the "Owner User ID" under Device Information for the Template needs to be configured."

  • Help! Internal Error #2738 when installing CD

    So, I have a brand new computer and when I try to install the CD that came with my Centro I get error 2738. I did a search and found out that 2738 is for VBscript. So, I went to windows and downloaded latest windows script (which, btw latest is for XP and vista). After installing I still get same error. Has anyone encountered a similar situation or have any tips for me? I would appreciate any help regarding this matter.

  • Issues using/uninstall/installing itunes with vista

    I recently purchaed a computer with vista. Everything was fine with my computer and itunes for a while and then all of a sudden I received a message (through my desktop) that an iTunes file was currupt. Now when I try and open iTunes I get the following message:
    Error writing to file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\ITDetector.ocx Verify that you have access to that directory.
    iTunes won't open after this.
    I have tried to uninstall iTunes (which it will not do) and I recieve this message:
    The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing the package. This may indicate a program with this package. Error code is 2330.
    When I try and install iTunes 7.2 I get the following message as well and the installation stops:
    Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. THe GEARAspiWDM service use bythe GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted duringthe next system reboot. please reboot the system and run iTunes again.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can either repair iTunes or uninstall and then reinstall a working version? I appreciate the help,it has been a little frustrating.

  • Error-1603 when installing Itunes on PC

    Hi
    I just got a Ipod Nano, and installing Ipod updater went fine, but in the middle of Itunes installing it stop and an error came up.
    hkeylocalmachine\software\classes\.cdda\openWithProgids
    Error 1603
    and installment stoped.
    any help would be nice
    thx

    hi Sofie!
    hkeylocalmachine\software\classes\.cdda\openWithProgids
    okay, even though you didn't get a 1402 or a 1406 with that message, i think you should start with this document:
    Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    i've noticed that for some folks with european localisations of Windows, they don't get the error message numbers with those messages referencing registry keys. but problems with those keys generally are 1402s or 1406s on other localisations of Windows.
    (generally we only attack the 1603 directly if folks get it as a standalone error. if it shows up at the end of a chain of error messages like this, we should try to deal to the first error in the chain. if we can fix that, the 1603 should go away of its own accord.)
    love, b

  • Invalid Drive Error 1326 When Installing iTunes for Windows

    I used to have an external usb 2.0 portable drive. It since has been uninstalled and trashed. When I tried to log into iTunes it said that some of the files are missing and to uninstall. I uninstalled from Control Panel - itunes, quicktime, ipod- then deleted the files that the support site said to. When I tried to re-install, i get the error that Drive G is invalid- error 1326. Any ideas????
    By the way- I couldn't find the files in C:- Windows- System 32 to delete- they weren't there-
    Thanks!

    Now I get the error the folder path "My Pictures" contains an invalid character.
    okay, we've had some success with similar messages citing the "My Pictures" path applying the following MS document:

  • Error 2 - when installing iTunes

    Please help me. Not sure when/how this happened or what led to it, however :-
    My I-tunes stopped working, so it advised I should un-install and re-install the program. I've read all the help avail on I-tunes and M'soft. I've un-installed all related programs, installed the M'soft install cleanup wizard, I am positive I've removed all installation files that may be hidden.
    It STILL says, once I re-download the 64 (and/or the 32bit) version, that:
    "Apple Application Support was not found.
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2."
    Please help.
    What do I do?
    Thanks in advance,
    IT-hopeless
    (PS I just watched True Blood for the first time and i'm hanging to buy some more episodes, if some1 could reply.. that would be great!!!)

    I've read all the help avail on I-tunes and M'soft. I've un-installed all related programs
    Hmmmm. Unfortunately, at the time that I write this post, the Apple documentation on "verifying that iTunes and related componentry is uninstalled" *is inaccurate for 64-bit systems.* The program files are in different locations than on 32-bit systems.
    So, just to be sure, we'll try going over the uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and Apple Application Support one more time, with accurate instructions on checking that program files have been completely removed. We'll take a few other explicit precautions along the way, too.
    Preliminaries
    Download and save a fresh 64-bit iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the iTunes install just yet.)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL925
    Now, quit QuickTime (if you have that open) and Safari 4.0.4 (if you have that installed and open). Both applications use Apple Application Support, and they will interfere with the uninstall if you have them open.
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your "Uninstall a Program" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support (if an entry exists in there for that).
    (From this point on until we reinstall Apple Application Support, neither QuickTime nor Safari 4.0.4 will be able to run.)
    Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    (1) Open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are stored on.
    (2) Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
    (3) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    (4) *Staying in Program files (x86),* find and open the "Common files" folder.
    (5) Open the "Apple" folder.
    (6) Right-click on the Apple Application Support folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    (7) Go back to "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are stored on.
    (8) Open the "Program Files" folder.
    (9) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Now empty your Recycle Bin and restart the PC.
    *Reinstall Phase*
    After the PC restarts, do not open any other applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus and antispyware).
    Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunes64Setup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Did the install seem to go through okay? If so, does iTunes start launching properly again?
