Error before the installer could configure itunes

Hi
I get the message above when I try to install Itunes 10.6.3.25.
Can anyone help me how to solve this. Or I cant get the new version of Itunes :-(
"Error before the installer could configure itunes"

WELCOME TO THE FUN!!!!!!
you are one of many my friend, we have all tried everything, uninstalling then reinstalling etc.
Apple seems to have really messed this one up and I can't seem to find a way to fix it either.
One thing i found to work was
1. un-install every apple program: itunes, then quicktime, then apple software update, then apple mobile device support, then bonjour
2. find itunes 8.2 and save the install exe. to your desktop (oldapps.com is good)
3. restart computer
4. Right click the install exe. and select run as administrator.
5. VERY IMPORTANT: On one of the menus at the begining of the install it will have the options to install ( 3 options )these options will already be pre selected you need to de-select the final option which is "automatically upgrade itunes"you must de-select this or it will upgrade to the 9.0 which requires the apple application support.
6. next button and complete install.
the apple application support seems to be causing some of these problems, and 8.2 doesn't include it in the install. I basically got these steps from searching on google and I tried it and it worked for me. Only problem is I can't put music on my Ipod with Itunes because it requires version 9.0 itunes

"The installer could not copy the necessary support files." Error message on 0S X 10.6.3 Install

I have just wiped my iMac 21.5' Core i3 3.2GHz as I am going to sell it. This process went as expected but when I try to reinstall the OS from the disk that originally came with the system (10.6.3) it gets around 30% into the install and then produces the error message "The installer could not copy the necessary support files." No matter what I try the outcome is the same and the installation fails.
I did have the hard drive replaced on this iMac a couple of years ago as it was of a batch that apple said could go pop one day. Do the hard drive and the OS X disk that comes with the system have to match, or is it just a case of a faulty disc? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update problem" "The installer could not install some files in "/"."

I've been trying install the 10.5.3 update, but keep getting this error message:

Anyone know how to solve this?

I have never heard of this problem, but try repairing permissions with Disk Utility.

Hello, Jdragone.
Thanks for the question. Start with completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, download and install iTunes.

I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes. I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.
Just in case, let's try the fixit from the following document:

How do I correct this to download iTunes so it will run?

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
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
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?

Select a broken track and press ctrl-i to Get Info. Look on the summary tab for the location where iTunes "thinks" the file should be. Where is it really? Post back the two locations and I can suggest the best approach.

When trying to udate iTunes on my PC, I recieve the error message "The older version of iTunes cannot be removed" How do I correct this error and not lose all the music I have in iTunes?

When trying to update my version of iTunes on my PC with Windows 7, I receive the error message "The older version of iTunes cannot be romoved". How do I correct this problem without losing all the music that I have in iTunes on my PC?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the 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 iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Error #2057: The page could not be added to the print job.

I've been making myself crazy over this one. I'm trying to print a complex multi-page "report" in Flex, but I keep getting this error every time I try to call FlexPrintJob.addObject(page):
Error #2057: The page could not be added to the print job.
Here is the basic scenario... I have created a new control I call a PrintVBox that extends the normal VBox control. After adding all of the children properly to the component, I wait for an update event (so that the heights of all the components are calculated) and then I call a custom method I have added to PrintVBox that "paginates" the control.
This pagination method essentially decides how many of the items in the VBox can fix on each page, and splits them up into separate pages. Here's a somewhat graphic example of what happens:
(before paginate)
***** PrintVBox ********
     [ Item 1 ]
     [ Item 2 ]
     [ Item 3 ]
     [ Item 4 ]
     [ Item 5 ]
This single VBox with 5 items, after calling the paginate method becomes something like this:
(after paginate)
****** PrintVBox ********
     **** VBox (page1) ******
               [ Item 1 ]
               [ Item 2 ]
     **** VBox (page 2) ******
               [ Item 3 ]
               [ Item 4 ]
               [ Item 5 ]
So, what was once a single VBox with 5 UIComponents on it is now a VBox that contains two VBoxes, each the exact size of a printable page, one containing the first two items, the other containing the second two items.
In my example that I am working on, my PrintVBox that I have created uses a Repeater to create about 20 HBoxes on the page. I then call
myFlexPrintJob.start()
to show the print dialog and get the user's parameters. I then pass the chosen print height and width to the PrintVBox control and call the paginate method, which creates pages of the desired width/height. I have tested this part thoroughly and displayed the resulting PrintVBox on the screen and it paginates successfully and all is well. After paginate, it has created 3 page VBoxes each holding some of those 20 items.
I then iterate thru PrintVBox.getChildren() array, in this case which is the three VBox pages, and I call:
myFlexPrintJob.addObject(page);
for each one. Each one errors out with the above error. The error is down in the PrintJob code, which is part of the Flash framework and I cannot step through it. I have no indication of why the page can't be added to the print job. Is there a reason this is happening?? Does it have to do with the Repeater that originally created the 20 HBoxes, even though I have now moved those HBoxes down onto separate pages? I'm just so confused here.
I can probably post the entire code chunk if someone really wanted it. I'm currently testing it as an AIR application using a big tester XML data object on the repeater, so that I didn't need a database and such to create the control and test printing. If someone really wants to see what I'm doing, let me know.
HELP! PLEASE!!
Thanks,
Joe

Were you able to solve this problem?
I am currently having the same problem as yours... I created my own printing classes that do all crazy calculation to figure out page breaks and stuff... everything goes well until the point I want to add these pages to the printJob. I get same error?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Error - A valid installer could not be found, using AAMEE and CS6

I receive the error - A valid installer could not be found, when using AAMEE 3.0 to create a CS6 Trial Package in Windows 7. I'm following the procedure documented here - http://blogs.adobe.com/oobe/tag/cs6 Imaging CS6-Attack of the Clones. I've tried both pointing at the DVD and pointing to a local folder, after copying the DVD to a local folder and copying the \payloads folder from the second DVD. I know the DVD is valid because I did a manual installation. I'm pointing at the folder that contains the Set-up.exe file, plus I've tried pointing at every other folder as well, with no success. I have a 40 user license for CS6 Master Collection for a classroom on our campus. I need to create a image for this classroom, and was thrilled that a solution was being provided to accomodate this, but AAMEE does not work! I'm working in a Windows 7 environment.
On top of this frustration, my Adobe ID is not working, I've used "chat" support and phone support and I can still not log in. They claim it has been escalated. When I explained the AAMEE error to the phone support rep, he informed me that there was no technical support and my only option was to post the question on the forum...but you have to log in with your Adobe ID to post a question! Round and round it goes. So I had to create another ID under a different email, just to post my question. I'm getting the mystery "an error has occurred, please try again", when I try to log in with my work Adobe ID.
Help! Anyone?

RESOLVED - Thanks in part to the ALBERT-in-Vancouver and Tushar Bammi thread concerning a similar problem. I dissected the PDApp.log. I had copied the installation DVDs to a local folder per the Deployment Guide, when installing from the DVD initially failed. But, PDApp.log stated - EnterpriseNativeApplet Individual media disks on fixed volumes are not supported, please use CD/DVD or mounted ISO/DMG media. That clued me in to trying to create the MSI using the DVDs again. My fault - that the original attempts to create the MSI from the DVDs did not work, I didn't realize I needed to run AAMEE with elevated privileges. Note - the earlier attempts when I was running AAMEE with elevated privileges and pointing to the locally copied installation files, failed. Interesting. I'm confused as to why the Deployment Guide directed my to create a product-install folder...
I haven't tested the MSI file yet, but if I have additional problems I will start a new thread.
Thanks.
