Error Message on 10.5 download on PC runing XP.

When updating my Itunes to 10.5 on a PC running XP, I receive an error message that an old version of Apple Software cannot be removed and to go to a file AppleSoftare....msi.  Well, I found three files on the computer under this name and tried the path of each of them, but the software still gives an error.  I uninstalled all the Apple-related software I could through the control panel, so I could reload the software, but it would not allow me to remove one of the Apple programs citing there is an inaccessible file.  I am the computer's administrator.  What do I need to do at this point?  Would deleting the directories prove valuable, or are there "apple" strings in various XP program files?

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?

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

    Can someone please Help?

    I found htis other post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3401328?start=0&tstart=0
    I also found this in another post
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • I get the following error message when trying to download ITunes on my computer running Windows XP - Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.dll

    I get the following error message when trying to download ITunes on my computer running Windows XP - Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.dll

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Error Message when trying to download a PDF

    I uploaded a PDF, shared the file & then tried to download the file. I get the following error message:
    HTTP Status 400 -
    type Status report
    message
    description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect ().
    Apache Tomcat/5.5.17
    I tried to download the original uploaded file and received the same error message. I tried downloading using both Firefox & Safari. I had no problems downloading the User Guide. Any Ideas?
    Thanks!

    I had the same problem.  Deleted the files and re-uploaded and converted to pdf.  I am still getting the same error message when I try to download the converted pdf file.  I tried other files which have worked great,...just not this one particular file.  Please advise.

  • HT1725 In a download of an entire album, one song download was interrupted.  I have followed the instructions for resuming the download, but each time I attempt to resume the download the same error message appears saying the download was interrupted. Ans

    While downloading an album in from the Store, one song was interrupted.  I have followed the instructions from apple about resuming the download, but every time I do so the same error message appears saying the download was interrupted.  I am having no connection problems, have rebooted my computer, downloaded the lates version of iTunes, etc., yet nothing changes.  Has anyone else experienced this, and are there any workarounds.  Sadly the problem hit on one of the best songs of the album.

    I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
    I went to Music, then Artists.
    From there I chose the album.
    The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
    I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
    (Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

  • I keep getting an error message when trying to download i tunes. It says it's looking for MSVCR80.dll and I find it on my computer so I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

    I keep getting an error message when trying to download itunes. It says it can't find "msvcr80.dll, but when I search for it on my computer it is there. My itunes was working just fine before I got the message to download the latest upgrade. I've not had any problems doing that before now, so don't really know what to do.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
