How to uninstall Apple Application Support v. 1.2.1 on a PC or force a new installation of QuickTime

After running Apple QuickTime for three or more years on my PC running Windows XP, apparently some part of its code became corrupted.  Trying to install an updated version of QuickTime, all went well until the new installation was not able uninstall the old version of Apple Application Support, v. 1.2.1.
How can I uninstall the old version of Apple Application Support v. 1.2.1, or, how can I force a new installation of QuickTime without first uninstalling Apple Application Support?
Thanks for your help.
Jim

Jim, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple\Installer Cache is where Apple Application Support is located should you want to delete it, the version you mention is old.
You may be able to first force a new update by going to. C:\ Program Files\Apple Software Update and double clicking on SoftwareUpdate exe
If that doesn't work for you than you would have to remove the old QuickTime msi file. Which is a microsoft installer file. Located in C:\WINDOWS\Installer
If you have any difficulty locating and removing the msi file this link to Windows Installer CleanUp Utillty should help. If not post back.

  • Updating Apple Application Support?

    I installed iTunes 10 today - I had to uninstall my previous version as the installer program wouldn't download the new version properly, then reinstall using the download from the Apple website.
    But now when I try to launch iTunes, I am faced with an error message saying:
    "Apple Application Support version 1.2.1 is installed; iTunes requires Apple Application Support version 1.3.2 or later. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but this still does not make the message go away. How can I update Applcation Support or download the newer version of it?

    Attempting to uninstall the existing version of Apple Application Support (1.2.1 in your case) can sometimes give us a heads up on the nature of the problem with the new version installing.
    Head into your Uninstall a program control panel and attempt to uninstall Apple Application Support. Do you get an error message? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please)

  • ITunes wont load Apple Application Support was not found

    I have been having a lot of trouble downloading itunes. I had it on my laptop and then the laptop crashed. I tried to re-install,and it goes smooth then at the end. I get a window message that has a red and white X that says:
    Apple Application Support was not found

    Error 2
    ok
    Can anyone help me PLEASE?
    Thanks

    With that one, let's try uninstalling both iTunes and Apple Application Suppport. When we reinstall iTunes, that should reinstall Apple Application Support as well. We'll take a few additional explicit precautions along the way too. Best to print these instructions out, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Download and save a fresh iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the iTunes install just yet.)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    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 "Add or Remove Programs" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support (if it is listed in there).
    (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" folder.
    (3) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    (4) 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".
    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 iTunesSetup.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?

    (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.

  • I accidentally removed my apple applications support program from my computer how do i get it back on?

    I had very little memory on my C drive and had to remove some programs to free some up but by accident i removed Apple applications support. How do i put it back on or do i have to remove and re-install the whole itunes program to get it to work again?

    We can get it back in without doing an uninstall/reinstall, if you like.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer to your hard drive.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?

  • I removed my apple application support software...How do I reinstall it??

    I was having trouble updating my iTunes and I followed someone's advice to uninstall all apple software including Apple Application Support and now I can't use any iTunes, Quicktime without having this support installed.
    How do I get the Apple Application Support back....please help??

    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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has similar advice to that above on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally. It may pay to repair or reinstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
