I can't uninstall, repair or install itunes?????

I get an error:
Error with install file at C:\Windows\Installer\itunes.msi.
The file is none existent. I can't get past this when I try installing, uninstalling or repairing.
What do I do?
Thanks in advance!

Do the following, go here and install the MS cleanup utility.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301
Then run it and select itunes.
Then delete the itunes folder in c:\program files\
Then reinstall itunes.
Of course the question might be how did that file disappear. I hope you didn't delete it. As you found it its needed to do uninstalls and repairs.

Help can't uninstall, fix, or install itunes!

Ive tried following some of the other samples on here, but their just not working! I tried deleteing the files ect (which the computer wouldn't let me becuase they were being used somewhere else on my computer), and still NOTHING! When I try to do anything I get the same error:
The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK and try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes64.msi' in the box below.
I have an HP, with windows 7.

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 iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

TS1717 I have lost the bonjour file, can I download it without having to uninstall and re-install iTunes?

I have lost the bonjour file, can I download it without having to uninstall and re-install iTunes?

just go to www.itunes.com and reinstall, the installer will ask you if you want to install or repair, select repair and that will install Bonjour for you.

I've upgraded to itunes 11.1.4 Now my ipod and my wife's will not connect/ sync. Itunes says it can detect an ipod but it can't be identified correctly. I have uninstalled and re installed ITunes but it still doesn't work

HT1923 My computer is not letting me uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support so that I can uninstall and re-install Itunes. Why is it not letting the uninstall complete?

Due to a program error, I need to uninstall and re-install Itunes. While following the instructions provided for removing the program, I found that Apple Mobile Device Support will not uninstall. The program removal begins as normal but when the completion bar almost reachs the end with time remaining - 2 seconds, the bar starts to move in the opposite direction and the time reamaining increases before the window closes on its own. And Apple mobile Device Support is still on my program list.
Does anyone know why the program won't let me remove it? Any suggestions?

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

When starting iTunes get the following message " Apple Application Support is required" uninstall and re-install iTunes. Question will I lose all records currently in iTunes ?? H=

Get a message on Itunes to uninstall and re-install Itunes since " Apple Application Support is required" Will this cause me to lose all records? Is there some to avoid this have tried to repair No LUCK

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file 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" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
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?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Uninstall and Re Install ITunes

I have to uninstall and re install Itunes.
I've haven't had to do this before, and I'm not sure what happens to my library if I do.
I have the library on an external drive (I learned after the last hard drive crash not to keep it on the c drive.)
Does uninstalling the software (or reinstalling it) wipe the library? I have 900 song on there, for Chrissake.
Anyone have an answer to this.
Or somewhere you can point me that there is an answer.

Well, I tried uninstalling, then re installing.
Library is ok, but I still get this message: The registry settings used by the ITunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re install ITunes.
I've seen posted at a number of forums that this is an ITunes problem. I didn't install other cd burning software; I did uninstall one, though. Never the less, I tried using the suggestions at this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2372?viewlocale=en_US.
I discovered I don't have upper or lower filters entries. If that's the problem, it doesn't seem to affect anything but ITunes.
And if it is the problem, how does one correct it?

Error Message: Apple Application Support was not found and is required to run iTunes. Uninstall and then install iTunes again. I did 3 times

I just tried to install iTunes on my new HP Envy w/Windows 8. The error message above is what I get when I try to open it. The installation seems complete. It will just not open. I uninstalled and reinstalled three times.

Hi Wisechoice,

HT4528 My Iphone4 is no longer opening in iTunes. I have Windows 7. I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes and also added updates to my iPhone. What should I do?

My iPhone used to work in iTunes but quit working. I checked my USB portal and it works with other devices. I also uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. I added updates to my phone and re-booted it. I am not sure what else to do. My iPhone also locked in vertical position and no longer goes to horizontal.

There will be a new version of iTunes released this month... no one forced you to upgrade prior to a supported version of iTunes being released.
Like the fact that you just called most of us stupid there

Can't uninstall or re-install Vista drivers (Boot Camp 2.1)

I'm having problems with my MacBook Pro's bluetooth support in Vista under Boot Camp so I thought I'd try to re-install the Boot Camp 2.1 drivers. However, whenever I run the setup program, it just gives me a useless error message saying it encountered an error before it could start the install, and to please try again later. Rebooting doesn't help.
So I thought maybe I could uninstall all the Apple stuff then start again. But when I try to uninstall "Boot Camp services" from the programs and features control panel, it starts to uninstall, but then gives up silently as it nears the completion of the "gathering information" dialog.
So I can't uninstall or re-install this thing. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

It may be too late, but have you tried going into the drivers using Vista's control panel and either removing the drivers or reverting to precious drivers?
