iTunes 10.5.0.142 on Win 7(64):
When I try to uninstall, change, or repair it from Control Panel or even update it, I get Error 2203 every time.

  • HT1923 I can't uninstall or update iTunes. I get an error message that it can't find the file itunes64.msi.

    I can't uninstall or update iTunes. I get an error message that it can't find the file itunes64.msi. where is it suppose to be?

    (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 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?

  • Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (OEM) System Builder

    I am trying to build by own custom PC and make it easily upgradable in the future.
    I am not sure what to get for the OS. I heard that Installing:
    Windows 7 home premium sp1 64-bit (oem) system Builder
    will tie with all my hardware indefinitely (that is my mobo, hard drive, processor, graphic card.etc..).
    So in the near future if I want to change out my GPU or CPU can i swap it out without a problem?
    or HD will i need to by another win 7 OS system builder or can i reinstall my already bought OS without a problem
    as long as the mobo has not been changed.
    I dont want to buy a $400 dollar for a retail OS...its $300 to much then im already spending for my current setup. And I dont want to buy another pre-built PC cause working on swapping any of their parts will void warranties if swamping can be done in the
    first place.
    Please Help would be greatly appreciated!

    they tattoo the MB so the MB and OS will recognize another HW attached to OEM PC or laptop. So if you upgrade another HW, you will facing issue Bluescreen or Windows not genuine. If you go to some Manufactured website, the only thing they allowed to upgrade
    for OEM PC either HDD or RAM only. And one more thing, you cant upgrade your OEM OS to the higher version, unless they provide the link to upgrade or any special promotion.
    Based on my experience, if your GPU failure, they will only change to the same GPU or upgraded version if any. They will not allowed you to do it if there is no HW failure, and tattoo MB has different standard price for different manufactured
    I think if you thinking about Microsoft support , they have a lot of option, forum is always open to help. I don't know what kind of support that you expect. For me, I prefer online support, so I can learn something from my issue and
    its free. TS for OS issue, you still can do it by yourself, some forum member, MVP or moderator will give you the step to fix this issue. And the ultimate thing we do to eliminate OS issue if some step didn't help is restore or reformat only.

  • If I were to buy the 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit, System Builder OEM DVD 1 Pack from Amazon to install Microsoft Windows 7 on my Mac, would it be compatible with my computer when I put it in bootcamp? (I have all of the current software updates)

    In order to run Windows Applications, you must own the applications and, since they require Windows, you must own Windows. There are technologies like wine that will allow Windows applications to run without Windows, but they tend to be flakey at best.

  • OK to copy Win7 (Home Premium SP1) disk to external hard drive?

    The MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS for Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
    say:
    10. BACKUP COPY.
    a. Media.If you acquired the
    software on a disc or other media, you may make one backup copy of the media. You may use it only to reinstall the software on the licensed computer.
    That tells about backing up the installation media.
    What about "backing up" the Windows disk itself, by copying a mirror image it to an (portable) external hard drive, similar to what's mentioned in
    According to Malmition's November 12, 2012 Making a copy of Windows disk - Microsoft technical link request
    post on this forum:
    I work with an engineer that feels he constantly needs to restore his windows 7 drive to its original state.
    He does this by have a copy of his c drive - it is not an image and he is not using any imaging software - just a flat copy of his c drive.
    When we wants to start over he formats his drive, boot from a thumb drive, and copies the c drive back.
    This is working fine for him.
    I've watched him do the copy back and forth so I see he's not using anything to image like ghost, acronis, etc
    I thought you couldn't just copy your windows drive?
    I'd like to do something similar.
    Is that allowed by the Win7 Home Premium SW license terms?
    Thank you.
    - Russell J (USA)

    Sorry to say: Try to solve real problems.
    Major drawback: You have not specified what license you have. Specification Win7 Home Premium is not enough.
    1. Do not compare installation content on DVD and that of on hard disk. Installation disk contains packed files for your Windows. Sector by sector copy of HDD is NOT the same as what you can find on install DVD. From the point of law, the backup use (native,3rd
    pty or by DD sector by sector) is legal, if you use it for restoration of Windows on HDD for the same computer, if you have ONE license.
    2. No one could object the situation, when you are backing multiple times (full, incremental,... backup)
    3. You cannot discuss c: drive only, because there is another partition that is important, namely hidden system partition. (Minimum of two partitions). License should cover the whole disk, not boot partition only.
    4. There are special rules for OEM, multilicenses, ... I have created system image that I distributed on many computers, because of I used special licenses that allow for multiple use in lab environment (Campus License, MSDN Academic Alliance, Dreamspark)

  • Vista basic or vista home premium sp1 for macbook pro

    Ok so I got windows home premium sp1 today as i didnt think the basic would work, apparently it will. I am not certain if the home premium would work though because it has sp1. do i need one without it? i have yet to open the box so i can always return it.
    All i really want bootcamp(windows) for is to be able to install and play video games that mac's are not able to. So basic would be enough for me yes? Thank you for any help.
    EDIT: I have yet to open the windows vista home premium sp1 yet as well incause the vista basic will work(i dont want to spend more then i have to in order to get bootcamp to work just for a video game)
    Message was edited by: Guitarplayer546

    So I go to the city today,from the mac dealer I bought my MBP from, they assured me the XP home edition version they have would work, so go race over there (45min later) and pick it up, store was pretty much closed soon as i left. when i actually take a closer look i see it doesn't have the service pack required for the XP versions. So tomorrow gotta go back to return it I hate my life.
    I know this is more less my fault for not looking further, but you'd think the dealer would know the requirements for the new operating systems and how bootcamp works. dfngsdkj

  • Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp?

    Someone suggested to use
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM for bootcamp.
    Can i use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM to use in bootcamp to install windows 7 on my mac book pro 13 inch?
    thank you.
    PS: i bought my macbook pro 3 weeks ago.
    Also, is there any other windows 7 installation CD that is cheaper?
    thank you.

    Yes.
    OEM just means that the Windows OS is dedicated to that computer only. If you sell, replace or throw away the computer you use it on, the Windows CD/DVD goes along with it. (According to the Licensing dialog)
    Just do a Yahoo/Google search for prices is the only way to find it cheaper. Or keep an eye on your favorite web store for sales.
    If you are in college and have an .edu e-mail account thru the college then Microsoft has it for about $30 US. And other deals also.

  • Bluetooth software license file - HP Touchsmart IQ772 Vista Home Premium SP1

    I installed Driver Max a couple of weeks ago and updated outdated drivers, blutooth amongst them, identified by Driver Max, on my HP Touchsmart IQ772, Vista Home Premium SP1.  Since last week, I get this message every time I log on or restart my computer; Bluetooth Software license file not found. [2].  What does this mean and how do I stop this happening again?
    Thanks.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I had the same problem after doing a registry clean-up on my touchsmart iq518a, don't know why it worked but i fixed it by going to programs and features on the control panel and uninstalling the 'bluetooth by hp' program. Everything still works perfectly and that annoying message no longer comes up.
    Hope this helps

  • Since upgrading to IOS8 I can't send or receive emails.  Can I uninstall?

    Since upgrading to IOS8 I can't send or receive emails. Can I uninstall?

    That's strange.
    I bet you updated your iPad without using iTunes.
    Anyway
    No, you cannot uninstall iOS 8 and downgrade to iOS 7, but you can try reinstall iOS 8.
    I would suggest you to do it from DFU mode.
    Here are some things you need to know before proceeding:
    You WILL NOT lose your photos, messages, notes, reminders or anything on your device.
    If you choose to backup on iTunes, you will NOT lose your Apps. Anyway, if that happens someway, (it shouldn't happen, don't worry) you can download them later for FREE.
    Here's how to proceed:
    -First of all, as usual, do a complete backup of your device either on iCloud or your iTunes (i personally suggest iTunes. If iTunes asks to backup Apps, agree.)
    -Put your device in DFU [While the iPad is connected to iTunes, press and hold both the home and the power button. When the Apple logo appears, release the power button and keep holding the home button until you see the iTunes logo on the iPad screen.]
    -Once your device is in DFU mode, iTunes will automatically detect it as an iPad in recovery mode, so it will ask you to restore your iPad.
    -Click on Restore and accept iOS 8 terms and conditions to continue the installation.
    -Wait for iTunes to download and install the software.
    -Once your iPad restarts, you will be guided to the configuration of your iPad. When it asks you if you want to configure it as a new iPad or restore from a backup, choose the iTunes or iCloud backup depending on where your backup is.
    -Wait for iTunes to restore your device.
    You're done!
    Now test your device and let me know if everything works well!
    Cheers, @tooFrozen

    receive error code 2349   when trying to install iTunes.  Any idea what that code means and how to correct?

    It's a better bet with a 2330, but 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?
