Installer Package error?

Is anyone getting an error with iTunes 7 and 8 regarding something unable to install? I keep getting a message on the installs that an installer package was unable to do so and rollbacks on that particular part.

Nvm fixed it.

Cant install itunes 10.6 no matter what i try! (Windows installer package error)

I cant install itunes !
I downloaded the latest version from the offcial site, and everytime i try to install it it stops half way due to Windows Installer Package error. It says I'm missing a program required to continue this installation.
I've tried removing all the files with removal tools, running it with admin rights, disabling firewalls, User account controls, updated my Windows update to the latest version. Read all the threads and tried everything but it still doesn't work.
Does any1 have any suggestions?

Download and save a full itunes setup file.
Use Winrar to unzip the file into a folder. Then right mouse click the file AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi from that folder to install.
If you don't have winrar, you can go to this link to download a free trial version.

Win 7 64, windows installer package error upon update

trying to update itunes, downloaded 64 bit setup to hard drive, i have a particular hard drive setup and keep everything out of the os drive for ease of a restart if required. norton informs me its safe, i open the download location select and double click the itunes setup file. it launches and starts going through the motions and then an error message pops up informing me that i have a windows installer package error.
really annoying as this is the second update i have been unable to install.
any suggestions please, thank you
yidboy

again i thank you for your speedy response
i have followed your instruction and still no luck still the same error message regarding the windows package installer, i also tried repairing too, same outcome.
looks like a complete install, im right in asking that itunes will synch with my ipod and restore all music, and vid, and pics. i ahve a back up in any case and its just as easy to copy/paste these folders directly into itunes, or ad folder via file tab.
but will it leave me with a redundant ipod if the package installer error reoccurs??
that is the big question

Has anyone encountered a problem updating or installing itunes lastest version software. I keep receiving a window installer package error and will not let me update or reinstall itunes software.

Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:

Unable to install itunes 10.5 after update issue. "windows installer package error"

So when the update for itunes happened, it wiped my ipod, and then my ipod would not work with itunes. So I uninstalled itunes and tried to reinstall it and it gives me that error message. "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have tried all the fixes from deleting everything to running command prompts. I think i tried everything.

I had the same error in with the i-tunes installation and i did this and it worked.... This works for any i tunes that fails to install itself on 64 Bit
You have to go into your registry.
Start, run, type in “regedit”.
Next go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Services
MSIServer
To the right you’ll see WOW64. Double click on it, or right click on it and click on modify. Change the setting from 1 to 0.
Next, go to the start menu again and type in the search box: “services.msc”.
Look for and find the Windows Installer service.
Double click on it and tell it to stop. Next, tell it to start.
You should now be able to install your programs.
------ By the way I dont have the WOW64 option is not available.
I was able to install quick time just fine. All of the other apple software associated with itunes installed fine but itunes did not. Im not sure if there is a virus that could do this. I didnt delete anything but apple folders.
I have tried other things but i cant remember exactly there were.
When the install process for itunes is running it changes with the error message shows up during install.
Thanks.

I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

I can't install Itunes because of Windows installer package error, please help!

I tried installing Itunes for a long time on my desktop, I'm running Vista. Everytime I try to install Itunes it runs for a bit, then gives me this message
" There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
I went through many posts on how to solve this problem, I uninstalled and deleted all the files from this thread : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
and tried to reinstall Itunes, didn't work, same error message.
After i tried to install Itunes in Clean boot still didn't work.
I also downloaded MicrosoftFixit.Program which apperantly fixed this problem for some people, not for me.
Then I extracted Itunes and tried to install all the components seperately, everything installed correctly, however when I tried to install Apple Software update
I got the same error message, i think it is the Apple software update that is causing this problem but I have no idea how to solve this problem.
How do I solve this, any thoughts or suggestions???

Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
Now, uninstall Bonjour from Control Panel.

ITunes 10.5 Windows installer package error?

i created windows installer package for iTunes 10.5. The The problem is when i am trying to install package it throws error like "failed to start applemobiledeviceservice". plz give me suggestion how to solve this error?

There are numerous threads discussing errors with 10.5.0

Every upgrade I've had to deinstall itunes and reinstall it to take. I deleted it this time and keep getting a windows installer package error. How do I fix this?

Every time I've had to upgrade itunes I get an error that states:
"There is a problem with this Microsoft Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.
Contact your support personnel or package vendor"
To get around this I've had to uninstall and reinstall itunes which worked just fine. This time I unistalled it and it will not install at all now.
Ever install meets the same error as the above. I've deleted the temp files as they've suggested but with no luck. There doesn't seem
to be a really good answer out there for this issue after doing some research. Most of it appears out of date or too techy for me too follow.
Anyone have some simple advice a lay person could use to fix this issue?

See Uninstall here > http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/install/
You are only replacing the Application.. so the Library should be fine...
Having said that... it is Prudent to Always have at least One Current Backup of your Precious Music... 2 is better...
So...Before doing Any Upgrade or Reinstall...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive...

Jay,
We have now installed the Intermedia text option, but still get errors on the installation. (Portal version 3.0.8.9.8 NT).
After installation, we still get errors. These are generally "Synonym already exists" errors, even though we are starting with a blank database each time. The exact errors are.
"cannot create synonym wwctx_api_vpd for portal30_sso.wwctx_api_vpd name already used by an existing object"
"synonym owa_vpd_ctx, name already used by existing object"
We suspect these errors are causing the error message wwc-00000 to appear when we attempt to access the Login Server Administration page and create users.
Any ideas?
Regards, Matt.

Cisco AnyConnect can't be installed on my machine (installation package error)

Hi,
for quite some time I've had problems installing AnyConnect on my machine. It has worked fine on my colleagues' hardware-wise identical machines. During installation I get two error popups:
I have tried installing several versions, and the latest one I tried is: anyconnect-win-3.1.05152-pre-deploy-k9. I have tried through the administrator login, turning off antivirus, clearing the registry etc. etc. etc. From what I read when Googling this might have something to do with network interfaces? But I really don't know how to proceed, and I really need the program.
I am using Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 on a Dell Latitude.
Thank you for any help

HI,
While installing Cicso any connect "anyconnect-win-3.1.05160-web-deploy-k9", i have an error "there is a problem with this windows installer package a program run as part of the setup" could some one help me out.

I uninstalled all apple products including Bonjour. Then only installed iTunes. This worked for me. Uninstalls were done from "Add/Remove Programs" in the controll panel. My apple installer program wouldn't uninstall so I selected repair and after that I could uninstall.
I installed iTunes direct from the website after that without issue and was able to keep all libraries that had been created and my apps that were on the PC

Cannot install itunes, windows installer package error

I've been looking around for a solution and I still can't find one that is specifically for my case. I've never had itunes before (well I guess I did but THAT never installed for some reason).
Anyways, I can't install the latest itunes (and I tried itunes 9 as well), it keeps giving me this message:
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
I tried everything! I uninstalled everything and redid the installation. I did this method with the extract.bat to get the msi files to individualling install from the itunes64setup.exe...the only msi files that don't download and give me that error are the updater and actual itunes msi file.
I'm on a:
Acer Aspire 8930G
Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 2
x64 OS

Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
