I cannot uninstall or install updated version of iTunes due to "missing .msi file".

I have been having an issue with updating my iTunes for the past month or so, and it turns out my mom is having the same issue. Both of our iPods and iPads immdiatly updated to iTunes 10.7, however both of our computers come up with the same error message saying the iTunes.msi file cant be located. I also cannot uninstall for the same reason. This just started happening about a month ago. I dont understand what happened. When I got to documents however I can see the iTunes setup file right there! Help! Now neither of us can sync.

For those having this same problem, someone else on here had a solution that worked really well if you have Windows. They directed me to a site ---> http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
From there on the righthand side you'll see links indicated by reaccuring double arrows labeled Downloaded locations. Click one of them, proceed to download. Once completed go to Start> All Programs> Windows Install Clean Up.
Click it and find all iTunes files and remove them. After that restart your laptop or PC and then try and download iTunes 10.7 again. It worked out for me really well. (:

Unable to Install New version of iTunes due to Bonjour.

Okay, I was trying to install the new version of iTunes for my ipod nano w/camera i just bought. While i was downloading, i had to download a newer version of Bonjour. When i tried to it said " Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed." I have heard that some people have had the same problem. How do i fix this?
P.S. I tried the Windows Installer thing, and it said something like 'Access denied' and i was unable to download it.

By the way, i know someone already started a thread on something like this. But it has not worked for me.

Can't install ros-hydro-collada-parser due to "missing" header file

Hello,
I'm trying to install ros-hydro-desktop-full on this i686 arch laptop and I got stuck at compiling ros-hydro-collada-parser.
Ros-hydro-collada-parser has collada-dom from aur as a dependency. I have installed it, and all the right files appear in the /usr/include/collada-dom2.4:
[flyer@lapt ../ros-hydro-collada-parser]$ ls /usr/include/collada-dom2.4/
1.4 1.5 dae dae.h dom.h modules
The compilation fails with this:
[ 50%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/collada_parser.dir/src/collada_parser.cpp.o
/home/flyer/.builds/ros-hydro-collada-parser/src/collada_parser/src/collada_parser.cpp:45:17: fatal error: dae.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
The full output is here: http://pastebin.com/gAe8MNwb
It works fine on my 64bit arch system. The collada-dom folder is exactly the same and cpp file (collada-parser.cpp) is exactly the same.
How does this <dae.h> include work on my 64bit system and shouldn't it be <collada-dom2.4/dae.h> instead?
Do you have any ideas of what could be the cause of this problem?

I cannot uninstall or install itunes. error is 'trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable'. I cannot find path to any folders containing installation package itunes.msi. Unable to download itunes since 2 updates ago and crashed computer. Windows update as suggested in some posts does not assist either.
Can anyone assist me? Thank you so much

Should the advice above not fix things for you...
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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

iTunes 11 is compatible with
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Try:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows

Cannot install latest version of iTunes 10.6.

Running 64 bit Windows Vista Home . Failed to install latest version of iTunes 10.6 with error message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.......click OK , or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes64msi"
After using this source in the box below and clicking OK it comes up with another error reading: "the file C:\Users|My name\AppData\Local\Apple Software Update\iTunes64msi' is not a valid installation package for iTunes. Try to find installation package 'iTunes64.msi" in a folder from which you can install iTunes".
As I could not find this file I then uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple mobile device support, and Quicktime and all related files as instructed from iTunes support page and tried to re-install all again. Unfortunately they all installed except iTunes which came up with the same error messages again.
Is this an Apple or Windows problem?...........HELP!

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.......click OK , or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes64msi"
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the 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?

Cannot uninstall or install iTunes and more...

I cannot uninstall or install the latest version of iTunes, and I cannot activate itTunes via the desktop shortcut. When I try, it says that the application is only available for installed products, even though iTunes is installed on my computer. Anybody else have this problem?

with that one, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.

next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

Hey Debbiered1,
Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.

Cannot uninstall or install iTunes 9.1

Hi, I am trying to uninstall iTunes 9.1 since there was an error and I could not upgrade to 9.2 but it won't let me. I always get the following error:
" Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\4df069.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory. "
I also cannot repair/reinstall iTunes. In fact I can no longer even open iTunes as it says it cannot find Apple Application Support (I deleted that when trying to uninstall iTunes).
Can someone please help me? Thanks!
Stephanie
