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.

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.

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
Please someone help ...
Thanks.

Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

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.

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.

Well, doing that "could" be your problem, as it will error out & prevent the official unlock from being processed.
At any rate, good luck.

getting error message 2324 when downloading the latest update of itunes help please.
Will not let me uninstall itunes from my computer, gives me the message that I don't have access need administrator. ( I am the only user of this computer)
Thank you

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

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?
