Installation error for iTunes 7.5 on XP: Specified path is too long

I just downloaded the most recent version of the installer, but every time I run it, I get this message midway through the "Copying new files" step:
+The specified path is too long:+
C:WINDOWSwinsxsx86Microsoft.VC80.CRT1fc8b
3b9a1e18e3b8.0.50727.762_x-ww6b128700
There's no denying that it's long, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do about that. I mean, I'm not the one who specified the path.
Clicking Retry just returns the same error endlessly, and clicking Cancel causes the installer to roll back all its changes and close itself.
What gives?

What exact version of Windows XP Pro do you have?
Is it the standard Professional edition, or is ir Professional x64 edition? Check by right-clicking on My Computer and choosing Properties.

Installing Itunes 7.3 - "specified path is too long"

I am trying to install Itunes 7.3 for Windows on an XP machine and I get error that the "specified path is too long"
The path given is:
"C:\Windows\winsxs\x86Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b8.0.50727. 762x-ww6b128700"
I have 2 options. Retry and Cancel. So I have to cancel and then it rolls back everything done to that point.
I was able to get around this, though by creating that directory manually. Then when I hit retry, it gave me another long dir name like above. I created that one as well. And then it did this 3 more times, then it continued on to finish installing. Why did I have to manually create the directories that had these long unusual names?
Thanks,
Scotto

I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes. I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

I am getting an installation error for Adobe AIR

I am getting an installation error for Adobe AIR when I try to update Pandora and it will not allow Pandora to update to the latest version. I have gotten this same msg when I tried to updaqte a program that uses Microsoft server. The error msg says see author.

Hi ricky,
I would use highlight execution (light bulb on LabVIEW toolbar) to see exactly what AI Single Scan VI is causing the error. You could also use breakpoints on each wire right before the AI Single Scan VI is called so that you can turn highlight execution on to see if the call generates an error.
Another suggestion is to create a new VI and copy and paste all the VIs from your current VI to this new VI. This might correct a problem if the VI is corrupt.
Finally, you could use the AI Config, AI Start, AI Read VIs instead of the AI Single Scan. I doubt there is something wrong with the VI, it is morelikely a corrupt VI. Recreating the VI will morelikely fix this problem.
Anyway, hope that helps. Have a good day.
Ron

How to fix a download error for itunes on an iphone?

How can one fix a "download error" for itunes on an iphone?

Hi..
First, try resetting your iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Then restart the device. Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off. After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

When I sign into Methodintegration.com my data base I can get in ok. When I sign out I get the following error: I am getting an error Bad Request Request too long HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long. If I close Fire Fox and go back in it will work one time and then I get the same error message.

That is usually a problem with corrupted cookies.

Cannot upgrade iTunes because cannot uninstall itunes 9.0.2.25. Error: The installation source for this product is unavailable. The file c:/... itunes.msi is not a valid installation package for itunes.

I also get the error. "Cannot uninstall the older version of iTunes. Contact your technical support group."
How do I download the itunes.msi for iTunes 9.0.2.25 so that I can remove this phantom and unfunctioning program and then hopefully upgrade to the latest version of iTunes 10.5?
Thanks for your ideas.

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?

Launch error for iTunes on Windows 7

I recently installed the latest update for iTunes on my PC and when I attempted to launch I received an error stating that one of the .dlls "is either not designed to run on Wondows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support." I tried downloading and reinstalling iTunes and also removing and then reinstalling but received the same error. I recently upgraded my PC from Vista to Windows 7 and wonder if it is related to the problem.

Many thanks.
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Installation error for Indesign CC "Unable to extract to temp directory. Contact Customer Support EX11". What can I do?

Haven't been able to install Adobe Indesign CC through Creative Cloud. Gives the following installation error "Unable to extract to temp directory. Contact Customer Support EX11". What can I do?

Jeremy Jediel Gongora then it is likely a file permission failure as was previously discussed. You can find details on how to adjust the file permissions of your temp directory at Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-exit-6-exit-7.html.
I would also recommend reviewing your installation log files for additional error messages. You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.
