Installer Package cannot not be opened (999)

I cannot get iLife '06 or iPhoto '06 installed.
No matter what I do I get this error:
"The Installer Package cannot not be opened.
There was an unknown error with the package (999)"

The DVD may be damaged.
Return it for an exchange.

    I cannot install iTunes 10.6.3 on Windows7 (64 bit). I keep getting the following message: "The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer program." Anybody have a solution?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • THIS INSTALLATION PACKAGE COULD NOT BE OPENED, VERIFY THAT THE PACKAGE EXIS

    I just purchased an IPod, now I cannot install I Tunes on my vista pc.
    No matter how many times I try, it says, the installation package could not be opened, please verify that the package exists and that you hav the right to access it. contact the vendor (apple) to verify that this is a valid windows installer package.
    I tried also to open this with administator priveledges, with no changes.
    I tried also to re download this 3x and get the same results, on both my computers.

    Hi,
    That did not fix the problem, same error.
    But it was sort of fun to do the process!!
    Can anyone help me with this?
    I now tried installing an old version of i tunes, and vista "does" allow older installs, but i tunes doesn't see the ipod. the ipod sees the computer though because when i unplug it the ipod icon changes.

    dell wind up   Windows XP  

    I ran into a similar problem, so will share what worked for me.
    I didn't bother with safe mode. Just went to control panel, selected add/remove programs, and deleted itunes and Quicktime.
    After deletion, I noticed the Quicktime player icon was still on my desktop, so I explored over to the program files folder and found the Quicktime folder still there with a ton of files in it. Upon attempting to manually delete this folder, I got the same message as you.
    I rebooted the computer. Then I found the icon for quicktime in my taskbar at the bottom right of my screen, right clicked on it, and clicked on "Exit". That got rid of Quicktime from my task bar. Then used explorer again to get to the Quicktime folder in my program files directory, right clicked on Quicktime, clicked Delete, and it worked. Then I rebooted.
    Upon logging back in, I installed Quicktime only. 2nd choice on this page. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Then I rebooted.
    Upon logging back in, I installed itunes only. See this page...
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Rebooted.
    Upon logging back in, both programs worked.
    Good luck -CC

  • HT5030 whem installing itunes i get this message "this installation package could not be opened. Verifiy that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

    whem installing itunes on my mums new computer which is windows 7 i get this message everytime "this installation package could not be opened. Verifiy that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

    Let's check your Windows system.
    1.  Have you done all the important windows updates and service Packs on your system.  If not do it now.  START button, type in Windows Update and ENTER.  Select 'CHECK FOR UPDATES'
    2.  Let's check your Windows system files for possible file corruption
    SCAN and repair possible Windows system file corruption:
    Go to command prompt (START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES right mouse click "command prompt" and choose "Run as Administrator"
    type in
    sfc /scannow
    let Windows fix any system files that need to be repaired.
    Restart the computer if it did actually repair any files.
    3.  Check your system for possible Malware.  But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
    Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to this link download a free version of Malwarebyte.
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
    To start your computer in safe mode
    Press and hold the F8 key as your computer starts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
    On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
    When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

  • The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exist

    HELP!
    I have not been able to update my Itunes to a newer version (since 6.0.5). Every time I try to upgrade to the newer version I get this error message when I try to install:
    "The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package"
    This is been incredibly frustrating because now I am limited in what songs and albums I can buy online because they require the newer version. I am getting to the point where i'm ready to start using another service to get my music from now on. I've noticed that others here have the same error message, but they are using Windows Vista. I'm having this problem on Windows XP.
    Any help would be very appreciated.

    Oh sorry what i meant was that i am trying to install adobe reader, i have tried all version from 8 to 9 and i am getting this error.The solution that i found on different forum was to use windows installer cleanup utility and clean up the previous installation. i dont have any installation in my registry.
    Kindly help me in this matter
