Error Number: 0x80040707 while uninstalling quicktime

I'm trying to uninstall quicktime so that i can do something about my itunes which isn't working properly (love how everything is connected huh?) Newayz i get that error and says that
"DLL function call crashed: QTInstallCode.Quicktime...."(it goes off the edge of the screen)
little help please. Thanks

+I have iTunes loaded on my administrator account. I want to load iTunes on my sons account so he can use his new iPod. I made his account an administrator account so we could load iTunes and have his iPod recognized on this computer. Installation stops with "Error number:0x80040707 while loading iTunes" displayed. When I click OK the next window says "Access Denied" and we're done.+
Gosh, but it's been a long time since I've seen that error message code in this context ... (You've presumably got an iTunes version 6.0.5.20 or lower installed in your User account?) But it was certainly possible to get one flavor of the 0x80040707 (there were a bunch of different varieties, distinguished by the details of the error message text) if you had an older version of iTunes installed in one user account, and then tried to install a higher version in a different user account.
Porcupine is correct here. You don't have to install iTunes in a different user account to use it there, so long as it is already installed in a different one. There's details here:
How to use multiple iPods with one computer
If you have to upgrade iTunes to use the new ipod, I'd first try doing the upgrade from inside your account rather than his. Does that get you past the 0x80040707?

Can't Uninstall/Install Quicktime error number: 0x80040707

I am also having probelms with quicktime. I went to uninstall/reinstall it and have had no luck. When I run the uninstall shield, it starts and then before it goes farther than half way loaded it disappears.
I tried everything listed in the post below mine with no luck but I noticed that I have a different error code.
Also, I tried to install the standalone 7.0.4, it installs and then before it completes, when I click finish is comes up with this error:

Setup will now terminate
I can't do anything with quicktime: run updates or use the plugins: nothing comes up or it restarts my firefox. What do I do? Really appreciate any help, I'm useless technologically. Thanks

Internal Failure - Error Number 0x80040707

Hi
I recntly was playing on my computer and when i tried to move songs to my ipod i got an error saying that the ipod could not be updated. i backed up all of my music and ininstalled itunes. i tried to reistall itunes and when the installation bar comes up i get an error message Internal Failure
Error Number:0x80040707
Description:
Can someone help. i can't use itunes now and my ipod is empty.

Hi there! Thats a common error message. Try this and see if it works:
1. Run the setup program and PAY ATTENTION to the folder where you are installing the software. Keep clicking on the "Next" button and here it is, the progress bar.
2. When the progress bar reaches 100% and you get the 0x80040707 error message, DO NOT click "Accept" or "Ok" or whatever says the button in the error window. Instead proceed as I describe:
3. Go to the the folder where the program is supposed to be installed. Yes, it's there!. Copy this folder to another location (for example, to the desktop).
4. Now click "Accept" or "Ok" in the 0x80040707 error window. This will erase almost every file in the folder where the program was originally installed. Who cares? You have a copy of it.
5. Now overwrite this almost-empty original installation folder with the one you backuped.
6. If you want you can even create manually a shortcut of the EXE file that launches the software wherever you like. Double click it. Does it work?

Quicktime Error Message/Can`t uninstall Quicktime

After the last update all **** has broken loose nothing is working have looked all over at the forms for soultions have seen were i should uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime I`ve uninstalled my iTunes and now trying to uninstall the Quicktime so I can start all over and keep getting this error message when ask if I want to repair some files
Error writing to file:C\Program Files\QTSystem\QuickTime.qts. Verify that you have access to that directory
How do I verify that I have access...??? So I can finish uninstalling this mess and get thing running again...

Did you mistype the the path? It should be c:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTsytem\Quicktime.qts.
If you typed it correctly, that's odd.
Assuming you mistyped it, try running a disk check to make sure there isn't a filing system error.
Open My computer and right click on your c: drive, select Properties>>tools>>error checking. Check both the boxes.
The check starts on the next reboot and can take a while.
Download the version of QUicktime that does NOT include iTunes from here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Close all other programs.
Then try manually uninstalling Quicktime using the method here:

If that goes though OK, Restart your PC and install the stand alone Quicktime.

Hi. Ever since I downloaded the last itunes and quicktime update (a week or so ago), I can't access any video podcasts or movies I have stored in itunes. iTunes keeps crashing and telling me I have a quicktime error. Do I uninstall quicktime? or?

Hi .

Error 2738-can't uninstall Quicktime

I am getting this error when I try to uninstall Quicktime. I tried to update to latest version and received this error as well.
Until Quicktime is properly installed, I cannot install Itunes.
I tried installing Itunes with Quicktime and get the same error with the Quicktime install.
Message was edited by: Richard Lara

I had the 2738 error for both Quicktime and Itunes. The solution of running the command; regsvr32 vbscript.dll in the system32 folder did not work for me.
I'm running Vista 64 Bit Home Edition. After much trail and error this is what worked.
open Command Prompt using a right click "Run as Administrator".
cd to C:\windows\syswow64
type- regsvr32 vbscript.dll, then hit enter.
This is not an official solution but it worked for my 64 bit system.

Getting the: Error Number: 0x80040707 Description: DLL function call....

solution that worked for me (copied from another site):
I found this solution on another website, but I wanted to share it with all of you here. The problem seems to be with the automatic updating of iTunes. Apparently it can whack-out if you have any older version of Quicktime installed.
Here's how I fixed my iTunes: I uninstalled both iTunes AND Quicktime and then restarted. I then went to www.oldversion.com and downloaded an old version of Quicktime. In my case I wasn't sure how old I should go, so I chose Quicktime 6.4. I downloaded and installed that older version, restarted, then UNINSTALLED Quicktime again. This install/uninstall helps clear out any older registry entries that might be interfering with the new installation. Once I had uninstalled the old version, I rebooted one more time and then installed iTunes, and iTunes is working again!
So, to recap: Uninstall both iTunes and Quicktime, Restart, Install old version of Quicktime, Restart, then Uninstall Quicktime, Restart, Install iTunes.
I hope this helps someone else, because I know how frustrating it can be not to have iTunes.

Hi,
(It seems I just got upgraded to Mobile Visionary which I am very proud of, thank you Nokia UK Discussion Board and thank you all the members who must have every now and then voted my answers to be useful But I will also tell my secret, I am an eager google user...)
So to your question, it seems (I googled windows error code 0x80040707) that you have general install/upgrade problem and there were good links with suggestions what you could try, here's just the first link for reference:
http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-1035_11-5252325.html#
so I will not copy paste any solution suggestions here, it can be so that some tricks that work for one situation do not help you, so it is better to read the links first.
Good luck, I hope you get it resolved.

Error Message 1316 while uninstalling Java 2 Runtime Env SE v1.4.2_03msi

I recently updated to Java 10 while in the process of clearing some nasty virus/malware off my system. I worked with a tech guide to do the clean up. He told me to uninstall old updates, including Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03. In the process, I got this error message:
Error 1316 - A network error occurred while attempting to read from file C:\WINDOWS\Installer\Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03msi.
then I clicked OK to continue and got a Fatal Error at the end and the uninstall was unsuccessful.
The tech guide told me that "hackers can use script to infect you via these old versions." The virus/malware we caught was spyware and serious. I'm serious about getting clean... any advice please?
Thanks -

Update 10. As in "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09\ <<< Java just updated to 10, update your version please."

Error while installing quicktime and/or Itunes, please help.

Okay, it all started when I tried to update Itunes, while installing the new Itunes an error came, so I had to uninstall it all and reinstall. However, now whenever I try to reinstall quicktime, it gives this error.
The path uninstall quicktime for the map contains an invalid character.
However, it doesn't even specifiy which map, anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?

Anyone please? Not being able to use my ipod is very annoying.

I cannot uninstall QuickTime because of a "Fatal error during installation."

I want to un-install itunes. Following the iTunes support guideline, I first removed iTunes. I then clicked on REMOVE Quicktime in the Control Panel.
I received the message "Please wait while windows configures Quicktime".
I then received the error message "Fatal error during installation" - OK.
How can I now remove Quicktime and follow on through the Support route of the remaining iTunes elements?

DEPs for iTunes and a fatal error when trying to uninstall QuickTime.
I think we'd better see if some other application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in the system files on the PC. (If there's a version mismatch between the old componentry and the "QuickTime proper" componentry, that can create those symptoms, including the uninstall errors.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Quicktime uninstall error "A newer version of quicktime is already..."

We have 2 new ipods and iphone. We attempted to install the newest version of itunes but when running the install I get this message: A newer version of quicktime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of quicktime is installed." Sadly, my first response was to uninstall the itunes we had that was running fine (aside from a pop up message that would tell us that some of our quicktime needed updating (not exact words, but I can't replicate the error message)
Unable to uninstall quicktime via window uninstall- I get the same error message as above.
I since have manually removed the quicktime folder from my program files. I have used the search feature to look for instances of quicktime and can't find anything else. I have even, at the advice of another, gone into the registry (start, regedit) and then removed quicktime folders found under apple computer. I have run "advance system care" in hopes to clean up the registry.
I am still unable install itunes and continue to get the same message when attempting to install itunes or uninstall quicktime. I need some help! (my kids are freaking out, thus so am I)

Most likely we're looking at a damaged QuickTime.msi file stuck on your system. (That contains the installation database for the previous version of QuickTime on the system.)
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25.
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 QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 9.2 again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(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.)

Trouble uninstalling quicktime

im trying to uninstall quicktime b/c my iTunes is messed up (i have to uninstall both iTunes and quicktime in order to fix the problem, according to other wall posts). When i try and uninstall this message comes up:

right you are, iddymonkey ... if your 0x80040707 is referencing QTInstallCode.QuickTimeUnInstallProc (there's different possible texts you can get with different causes and potential treatments), let's proceed with the 32-bit procedures for that one.
here's what we'll try first:
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
