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. 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. 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".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 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.)

  • I can't install iTunes because an older version can't be removed.

    I can't seem to get Itunes to install. It keeps giving me a message that it can not remove an older version of Itunes. I've deleted every Apple related file, per recommendation of this site. I went in an cleaned up the registry of every reference to Itunes I could find and I still get this message.
    Has anyone ever run into this before? I wish the install would give you more detailed info.

  • Cannot download a new version of iTunes because the older version of Bonjour cannot be removed.

    I lost iTunes due to a virus.  Now I cannot download iTunes, because the older version of Bonjour cannot be removed.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" 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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • Can't install itunes because of quicktime

    My itouch won't register with itunes. A pop up for 10.1 came up, so I figured that was the problem. I started the download, but then I got two errors pertaining to quicktime. A box searching for the quicktime.msi destination, and "older version cannot be removed." I've tried downloading manually, it doesn't work. I've tried deleting both programs, STILL doesn't work. I've done a system restore - nothing works. I have no idea how to get itunes working again. I can't charge my itouch because it won't register. Any ideas?

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all.

    I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and it says to re-install the toolbar but I have not been successful in doing so. I went to the forums and tried all the suggested fixes but none worked. Can I go back to the older version? I had no trouble with that and I do not like this new version at all. I tried a system restore twice and it did not fix the problem.

    I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.
    There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.
    Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.

    Windows right?
    Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
    Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet
    http://botnetchecker.com/
    All clear? Hopefully. Backup your files to a external drive, cd or dvd, USB keye etc off your computer.
    Run the sfx file on this site and it will burn to a cd.
    http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system
    Next hit your BIO's key and set the cd to boot first, run the scanner and see what it pops up.
    If your all clear then create another Admin, transfer your files over from the first Admin.
    See if that works, eventually when your totally over to the new Admin, delete the old one.
    If you can't create a new Admin, find out who locked your machine down, like your parents or it's a school computer?
    Likely installed spyware or "nanyware" to watch you.
    Hope that works.

  • Can I Install iTunes on the D: Drive?

    Can I Install iTunes on the D: Drive? I looks like iTunes does not give me that option to do this.
    Thanks

    It's like any other program installation - during the install it says where it is going to put the program.
    The default is C:\Program Files\iTunes.
    You have to say "No" or "browse" or something like that, and tell it the D: drive instead.

  • TS1741 my 2nd gen iPod touch uses iOS 4.2.1. i foolishly restored it and lost the old version of 'remote', which worked perfectly, and i can't install the current app, which requires iOS 5.0. where can i find and download the older version of 'remote'?

    time to spring for a new iPod?

    1. On your computer or in the backups of it. It is no longer available in the iTunes Store.
    2. Not necessarily. In the event you can't get the older version back, you can purchase a third generation iPod touch or iPhone 3GS and not a brand new device.

    Hello Michael.
    Hopefully this support article is what you need:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
    In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
    Also, if you want to use an older version of Firefox, please use Firefox 3.5.11. Only versions 3.5.11 and 3.6.8 are supported, and both contain all the latest security fixes. Using any other version is unsafe and not recommended.
