Error 2738 when trying to uninstall Quicktime

Let's start off with this - I'm an idiot when it comes to PC's so keep the replies low level ?
Failed to upgrade to iTunes8 so was following the troubleshooting guide, removed itunes fine, didn't restart as per the instructions but Quicktime would not uninstall, returning this error code.
So now I don't have iTunes at all.
Was using standard control panel/programs and features/uninstall windows functions.
What do I do next ???

I receive the following error message when trying to install QuickTime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."

I recieve the following error message when trying to install Quicktime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory." I just trying to get the latest version of iTunes. Thanks

"Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Error message when trying to import Quicktime movies

All of the sudden, I'm getting this weird error message when trying to import various Quicktime movies. I've never seen this message before:
File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
Any thoughts why this might be happening? Any input would be appreciated.

I now see that two of them have been encoded using the AAC, Sorenson Video 3 codec which is not one I've seen before so I suspect that would be it.
The other one I'm having trouble with is encoded using Integer (Big Endian), Animation. I know I've seen the Integer (Big Endian) codec before so do you think that because it's animation that's a problem? I imported several other uncompressed files that were encoded with Integer (Big Endian) that worked fine so that's my suspicion.
Tom, you've always been very helpful on these boards for my questions. Thank you so much.

Error 1321 when trying to uninstall GoLive v8

I am trying to uninstall Go Live CS2 v8.0 from my computer because a lot of the features are not working. This program was received from 1and1.com as a "program package" when our nonprofit foundation purchased the domain and Web hosting from them and received the programs for the shipping/handling charges. I have been unable to get any response from tech support at 1and1.com. Can anyone help me out with this? As the Webmaster for the foundation, I am needing to get this issue resolved quickly and any help will be greatly appreciated.
This is the error message that I am getting when trying to uninstall the program: Error 1321=Installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:\programdata\Adobe\updater\certs\golive.cer.
We did register the program and I would have like to of used it for the foundations Website, but I am only able to "build" the site on the program. I am really disappointed in both the program and 1and1.com over this issue.
Thank you,
Michelle Holt

Thank you for this information. I am more of an applications user than tech. My knowledge of what is on the other side of the applications is very limited. I followed the directions and got the Admin. account activated, but was unsuccessful at uninstalling the program. I finally received an email from tech support at 1and1.com, but it was just an initial email stating that they have received my statement and will be in contact within the next 12-24 hours with a possible resolution. 1and1.com is great for hosting a Website, don't get me wrong there, but the software that they include with their packages are junk. I will continue to use 1and1.com for my Webhosting, but would recommend to anyone else not to get the "program package".
Thank you again for your help. If you think of anything else, let me know. This program is taking up space on my computer that I could use for a program that actually works right.

I get an error message when trying to update quicktime player

why do i get an error message when i try to update quicktime player that says "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable", and further states that "click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below".. when i try to locate the file quicktime.msi, i am unable to locate it anywhere on my pc, which then will not allow me to complete the installation, nore will it allow me to uninstall the application.

"the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable", and further states that "click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below"..
(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 QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

Error message when trying to open Quicktime player 7.2 in Windows Vista

I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the Q Player a couple times but I still cannot get the player to run. This is the error message that pops up:
Microsoft Visual C + + Runtime Library
Buffer overrun detected
Program: C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program’s internal state.
The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated
Thank you in advance for any help you might have for me.

Let's try swapping out your QuickTime one more time, taking a few additional precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. In the Start menu, click "Computer".
2. In "Computer", open "Local Disk".
3. Open "Program Files".
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime and QuicktimeVR.
7. Restart your computer.
Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

Error -1618 when trying to uninstall, and shuffle doesnt show up in sources

Hello, and thanks for your time,
well i recently had trouble with my ipod shuffle, at first the green light wouldnt turn off, so then i reset it (toggeled the switch up and down) and then it no longer had any songs on it. Fine, so then i attempted to plug it back into my computer through a usb cord, and it wouldnt recognize it, so i tried the other six, and still no luck. I then uninstalled itunes and the ipod programs, and installed them once more. However they werent functioning properly because my computer froze or the programs wouldnt run (programs ei. ipod updater) so i uninstalled once again and attempted to install them once more. However i couldnt, an error interrupted the process and it didnt fully download, so i tried to uninstall, and and error box, during the uninstallation process pops up and says (Error -1618 Another installation is already in process Complete that installation before proceeding with this install). So i can no longer uninstall it to reinstall it. Please help, its driving me nuts

my ipod 512MB (First Generation)shuffle is not
reconized in itunes,My computer, or in yamipod.
Before when i plugged it in it did nothing, its light
doesnt came on so it didn't charge. But now it does
charge BUT It dont show up in iTunes, My computer,
yamipod. In yanipod it says 'please plug your ipod to
continue. In iTunes it doesnt even show up in the
Sources list. And in My computer it doesnt show up.
It doesnt even show up as storage/removable device.
SO I Cant add any new songs. AND I hav so many new
song i want 2 add. I have tried other computers and
did most of what teh Apple articles said,even the
ipod shuffle like Reset Utility. I was given this
shuffle as a girt on June 14 2006. My shuffle had the
problem of not being reconized at all once before but
after a couple of weeks it went away.
Go here to find out if it's still covered by warranty:

Error 1618 when trying to uninstall Labview Runtime system.

Hello list,
I'm trying to uninstall the following on a Windows 7 machine: LV2011 runtime, Max 5.11, Visa runtime 5.1.1 & Datasocket Server.
I got an error 1618 with Windows Control Panel & MSIBlast.
I have full Admin rights on the box - Any ideas, or should I just re-image the HD & start over?
Thanks,
Mike

I seem to be having a similar issue. I have several version of LabVIEW installed (8.5 through 2012) as well as NI-VISA, NIDAQmx and 488.2.
I recently installed a very old executable application that was built in LabVIEW6. This also installed the LV6 RTE. The application seemed to work and when I was done with it, I uninstalled it. Now, I can't say for sure that this is what caused my problem as I did not try running any of my newer applications or LV2012 immediately after this. But since that time, my executables built in LV2012 won't load. They simply crash and give me an option to send a report or not. My LV2012 environment seems to work fine except that when I try to close it, it won't close. I have to force it to close.
I tried uninstalling my executables through the control panel. I get a message indicating that something is already in the process of installing and I should wait until it is done. There is nothing else installing.
I tried uninstalling all of the NI software through control panel. I get the error 1618 and nothing uninstalls. I tried repairing, as suggested in the linked post, I also get the error 1618.
So, right now, I am stuck. I can run my applications through LV. But I can't run the executables. I also can't uninstall and start over.
I could turn my PC over to our IT department to image the hard drive and start over. But that will kill at least a day to reimage and another day to reinstall everything to get back to normal.
I am running Windows 7 32 bit OS.
Any thoughts?

Error message when trying to uninstall CS3

I had CS3 on my older macBook Pro and used migration assistant to move to a newer MacBook Pro. After this my cs3 hasn't been working. I have the software and I am trying to uninstall CS3 by going to utilities-adobe installers-add or remove Cs3 and I receive an error message that reads system error: required resources are missing.
It's been awhile since I did the migration so It would be a huge pain to go back and do this again, so I'm just trying to reinstall the software.
I have considered just upgrading, but I still feel the need to get this old software off my computer.
Please help!
Thanks

I don't know how many times I have posted the following:
You may want to try running this fix from Microsoft and uninstall all traces of any versions of Reader:

If you want to reinstall Reader, download its full installer from

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Getting a microsoft error report when trying to run Quicktime

I have dell laptop which has windows XP. I was not able to run Itunes because I got an error that said that microsoft has encountered an error and i choose to send an error report or not. so i uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime with no avail. After going these forums, I uninstalled itunes and only installed the quicktime standalone player and i get the same error which tells me the problem is with quicktime. I tried all the stuff on the forum but cannot get quicktime to work which then means I cant get itunes to work which totally *****! any ideas? I wish Apple had a phone/chat support like dell.

I am also having this issue with a new Dell laptop which runs Windows XP tablet edition. I have tried installing QT 7.5.5 twice, and even installing an older version (7.1.6). Every time I try to open QT I get a brief error message on the screen after which it crashes and restarts the system....very frustrating....

Error message when trying to install Quicktime 7.2

When I try to install Quicktime 7.2 on my MacBook Pro, I get a message saying that there was an error and I need to try again. When I have tried via Software Update, it says it has moved the download to the trash. I am running OS 10.4.10. If it is an additional clue, I also tried downloading and installing Onyx and ran into a similar problem.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

You have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, and it needs a special 10.8.2 version. To install it, open  > Software Update and install all the available updates

ERROR 1639 when trying to uninstall iPod update software

" - invalid command line argument. Consult the windows installer SDK for detailed command line help."
What on earth? After installing all the required software to use my new iPod Nano, it still would not work. Tried everything including uninstalling the software to try again..wouldn't let me uninstall it!?
I previously had a iPod Shuffle that worked perfectly, but was stolen, hence replacing it with the Nano. I wondered if this software was unsuitable for this model. Either way Im clueless as what to do next, any suggestions welcome! I feel like dropping something hard and pointy onto it from a great height!

I think something of that sort happened to me but then I solved it... the mater was that I had USB ports on the front and on the back of the computer (where you turn it on) and I was connecting the iPod on the front and a pop up of that sort appeared... I tried connectiong it on the back and it worked just fine...
I really hope this helps..

Error message I receive when trying to install Quicktime 7.3...

I keep receiving this error message when trying to install Quicktime 7.3. I have removed anything Apple or QuickTime from Add/Remove, but at the end of the installation I keep getting this error mesage:
"The older version of QuickTime could not be removed. Contact your technical support group".
I have no clue what to do to resolve the issue and the software is paid for and has been useless for months due to this error. I'm completely out of ideas. Can someone please help me? I have called tech support but after about 7 hours of help and escalations and everything elser, Apple can't even fix it. The unit is clean, COMPLETELY!
Thank you in advance for any help I am given.
Cheers

+BTW, while on the phone with tech support, I used the MS tool "Windows Install Cleanup", which I'm sure deals with the MSI stuff.+
Yeah, that's usually most helpful (immediately) when you get your message in conjunction with a missing QuickTime.msi message. The "standalone" version of your message tends to be a bit trickier to deal with.
Lets head back into Windows CleanUp one more time, to check on a possibility.
Launch CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). Are there any mysterious blank lines (or lines containing just a version number, but not mentioning a name of any program) showing up in the list of programs in CleanUp?
