I am trying to uninstall itunes as it will not open error 7 (windows 126) so that I can reinstall but keep getting the message.. The feature you are trying to remove is on a network resource that is unavailable itunes.msi... Any suggestions anyone

I was unable to open iTunes and got a message error 7 (windows 126) so I tried to uninstall and download latest itunes 10.  When I tried to remove old version of itunes I got the message... The feature you are trying to remove is on a network resource that is unavailable and when I try to download iTunes 10 the message reads.... The installation source for this product is not aailable.  Verify that the source exists and that you can access it.  Can anyone help?

A msi file is short for microsoft installer.  It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program.  For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before. 
I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes.  It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help.   Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes.  It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
This was what was said.
Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
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 iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    Mt computer has been freezing up on me lately and I think it messed up my Ipod when it quit right in the middle of downloading and got shut off.

    That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.

  • Itunes 6.0 will not open in windows

    The new version of itunes will not open but in the windows task manager it shows that itunes is running. I want to know how to fix this problem, see if norton anti virus is causing the problem, or will apple release a new version of itunes that fixes this problem.

    hi Gregory!
    I want to know how to fix this problem, see if norton anti virus is causing the problem,
    are you running Norton Internet Security 2005? if so, that's been causing this to people on installs/upgrades since 4.8.
    if it's just itunes processes being blocked, you can fix it using these techniques:
    b noir, "itunes wont open" #6, 02:11pm Oct 3, 2005 CDT
    ... but if that doesn't work, you're probably getting QT processes blocked too, and you should try "Lorraine":

    keep us posted.

  • My Quicktime will not open, and therefore when I try to play a video I get a message saying I need to download Quicktime, but I cannot do that as when I try, I get a message saying I already have it.  How do I un-install Quicktime so I can re-install it?

    I am having issues with Quicktime.  It would not open, so I tried to "delete" it and re-intall.  When I did that, it would not let me install it and I got a message saying it could not install because I already had it.
    So, I guess what I need to know is how do I un-install Quicktime (even though the icon is gone) and then re-install it.
    Thanks!

    Yes I had that problem this week.  Did search in finder and dragged all files to trash,including any attempted down loads of updated quicktime, emptied, restarted and then down loaded latest version and all ok.

  • HT1926 I'm trying to update itunes on my computer, and after trying, I get a notice that says "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is ubavailable".  I dont know what that means!

    In trying to update Itunes, i keep getting a message that "The feature you are yting to use is on a network resource that is unavailable".   What does that mean?

    Which particular .msi file is the message going on to say cannot be found? (Several different .msi files might be mentioned in this context: itunes.msi, bonjour.msi, AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, etc.)

  • HT1923 iget this when i try removing itunes. The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

    i tried to update itunes to 10.6 but keep getting this message. the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable 

    Doublechecking before proceeding ... the message is going on to say that the itunes.msi (or itunes64.msi) cannot be found?

  • I haven't synced my iphone 4 with my windows xp pc since Nov 2011.  now I can't even open Itunes.  I get a message that says :the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource tat is unavailable".  I can't uninstall it either.

    When I try to uninstall iTunes so that I can reinstall it, I receive this message:  "The installation source for this product is not available.  Verify that th esource exists and that you can access it".
    I don't understand this as I'm the only one who has ever accessed it.  I set it up when I got my iphone last fall, and haven't synced it since.  Now I can't even open iTunes, nor can I update it, remove the program or reinstall it.
    Any ideas out there?  I'm not a computer whiz, so please keep it simple.  Thanks.

  • I can't install on uninstall iTunes on my laptop; running Windows XP.  I've tried all the steps in Apple Support as well as Windows support.  Can anyone help?  I fet the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

    I can't install or uninstall iTunes on my laptop.  I've followed all the steps on Apple Support as well as Microsoft support.  I get the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Pick an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi".  This has been going on for a couple of weeks now and I'm very frustrated.  From what I can see, I'm not the only one with this problem, but I have yet to see anyone post a solution that works.  Microsoft wants to charge me $99 to troubleshoot it for me and Apple will charge $20.  I think both are ridiculous as this is obviously not "operator error".

  • Can anyone tell me why I can't update my itunes on my p.c?  I get a message saying: the feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.   Tried uploading from websit, get msg can't delete old version.

    I need some serious help!
    I have been trying to update my itunes to version 10.7 and my Quicktime to version 7.7.3!
    Having no luck!
    So I tried selecting repair software on all of the Apple applications and they seem to have worked.
    Then I selected look for upgrades on my itunes (Help) main screen
    It said their were two updates -   Itunes  10.7   and  Quicktime 7.7.3
    I selected the option to update and the .exe files were loaded to my  Windows 7 p.c.
    However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
    saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
    O.k.
    I then went to the itunes website and tried again.  This time it checked my system the process seemed to be working and all of a sudden I got a message saying my old itunes programs could not be removed and or deleted.  So I tried to delete my old version myself without success it won't let me.
    I've run out of options and am not completely fustrated.
    I have itunes on my desktop, my iphone4, my ipod and in my car. 
    Anyone have any clue how I can resolve this problem?
