Intunes will not install along with quicktime

i download the latest version of itunes and quicktime and when i try to install it i get an error about how quicktime can not read c:/windows/installer/quicktime.msi cannot read so any help would be greatly helped i have totally removed quick time and itunes from every where program files folder and registry

I get very worried when people tell me that they were editing the registry. I hope you possibly made a backup of the registry before you did those edits.
Ok we are going to need a more detailed plan for you.
I still want you to redownload the standalone installers for both QT and itunes. Save them to your desktop.
The steps I'm going to give you are detailed and you need to follow them word for word. Read the instructions carefully cause I've had people totally do the wrong thing after they read a step.
1. Uninstall itunes, ipod & QT software from add/remove programs in the control panel. (If listed)
2. Reboot your PC
3. Re-download the itunes installer and QT and save this installer to your desktop
4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes,msi
6. Clean out your temp folders
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
7. Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
8. Delete the itunes and QT folders from c:\program files\
9. Reboot your PC between each installer!
10. Now try to go and install everything again. I'd do QT first then follow with itunes. Remember to disable virus/firewall/privacy/web accelerators before launching the install.
When you go to install QT please note everything that happens in detail for me. This way if something goes wrong I'll be able to suggest something else. Also write down the EXACT error message word for word if you get one. Once QT is installed, reboot and test it. If it opens ok then proceed to install itunes.
Let me know the results.

  • Itunes 7 - win xp pro will not install "iTunes needs quicktime" error

    iTunes 7 will not complete the install - it says the old version of iTunes could not be uninstalled and then says "iTunes needs quicktime". I tried installing quicktime alone and it also won't install saying it cannot remove the old version. Tried a manual uninstall and I get the same error.

    A tip posted by b noir on the following link solved my problem. I just downloaded "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" from Microsoft, removed my existing version of Qiucktime. Restarted my computer then started fresh with Itune 7 installation. No more problems.
    here's the link:

  • ITunes 64 will not install: says needs Quicktime, which *is* installed

    This is what I've done:
    Deleted temp directory
    Restarted
    Uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, through Windows Add/Remove programs
    Deleted temp dir
    Restarted
    Installed Quicktime (from QuickTimeInstaller.exe,  v7.69.80.9)
    Deleted temp dir
    Restarted
    Ran iTunes 64.msi, v10.4.0.80
    Received the message, "Installation was not successful. iTunes requires Quicktime".
    This was my fourth attempt this evening. Not happy with Apple, right now. Can anyone suggest another approach that works?
    Thanks!

    Exactly my problem. Very frustrating. It bricked my wife's iphone. She was not happy. I'll never update itunes or the iphone again!
    Apparently what happened is this...
    I plugged her iphone into the pc.
    Itunes then updated the iphone.
    Next, Itunes wanted to update itunes, but I kept getting the above Error.
    So, I installed the Windows installer cleanup utility as the other posts say to do.
    Then I deleted itunes with the cleanup utility.
    Still, I get the error.
    But finially, and here is the Solution...
    Use the installer cleanup utility to delete any itunes things listed.
    Apparently the Iphone update installer was the problem... Delete It with the cleanup utility!
    Hooray!
    Thanks Apple for this horrible hassle!

  • I tunes will not install due to quicktime

    hello, I have an older pc and everytime I go to install Itunes, it goes through the whole process and at the very end says it cannot install because quicktime is not installed correctly and gives me some error message. I have never had itunes on this pc because of that. Is there a download that just has itunes and not the stupid quicktime which I don't give a crap about anyway?
    Thanks
    Cliff ([email protected])

    You need the QuickTime. It provides all the audio and video playback capabilities for iTunes. (Conceptually, you don't go too far wrong thinking of iTunes as a gigantic QuickTime plugin.)
    it goes through the whole process and at the very end says it cannot install because quicktime is not installed correctly and gives me some error message.
    What's the precise text of that error message, Cliff? That would give us the best possible heads up on what is actually going wrong with the install.

  • Visio 2013 32-bit trial version will not install even with other 32-bit MS products only.

    Trying to load MS Visio 2013 Trial to determine if it works so I can purchase full version.
    Environment: MacBook Pro, w/ VMWare Fusion 4, Windows 7, running only MS Project 32-bit on the VMWare side. MS Office is not installed only MS Project.
    Downloaded Visio 2013 Trial img file and attempted to install. Received 64-bit conflict with 32-bit software error message. Deleted Visio 2013 64-bit version and redownloaded Visio 2013 Trial img this time in 32-bit. Tried to install but the same 64-bit
    conflict message is appearing.  As the only software I have installed is MS Project 32-bit it does not appear that there should be a conflict.  I have scanned TechNet and Googled to try and understand how to determine and resolve the conflict but
    there are no threads to address this specific problem. 
    P.S. I cannot uninstall and reinstall MS Project as I spent hours on the phone with Microsoft and VMWare Support to get it installed the first time so I don't want to mess with an existing environment that is finally working.
    Microsoft online chat recommended calling MS Support and they have now sent me to you. Can you please help?

    Dear Smith_123:
    Thank you for your reply. However, Office had never been previously on the OS as it was never purchased.  I do have Office for Mac 2011 but that is 32 bit and is not on the VMWare / Windows side of the machine.  But even if I had, I would not know
    how to clean up the residual file or registry keys without assistance.
    After 1 hours and 20 min on the phone last evening and being handed from person to person through literally 9 different people, I finally reached someone that seemed knowledgeable in MS Support.  But all they would give me was a circular answer: 
    We can't help you because it is a Trial Version for which there is no support offered. When I explained I wanted to be sure Visio worked on my machine prior to spending between $300 and $600 on a copy, Support could only say that I would have to purchase it
    first before they would give me any help to see if it works. When I offered to purchase it right then since I had finally gotten to someone who appeared as though they could help, he told me that he was Support and not Sales so I would have to go elsewhere
    to purchase the product.  Very frustrating.

  • Sparse Disk Image will not open along with encrypted document

    I have two problems. I created a sparse disk image of my documents folder and encrypted it but recently when I select it and double click it to open it up nothing happens. I put in my password and in the finder window it shows the image but no documents folder will open up.
    I ran disk utility and disk warrior and all is okay on my hard drive. I did burn a CD of the files in this folder so I do have a backup but wondered why it will not open up now, any suggestions?
    The second problem is in this same folder, I created a word document years ago when I had my old G3 iMac and used at times MS Word 2000. At the time, I locked this Word document, and now it is encrypted and it won't open up. I can't remember the password used back in 2000 and so this document is encrypted and I don't know how to decrypt it, any suggestions.
    I do know there are software programs to delete passwords in MS Word and that they will decrypt my document, but the ones I try to download won't work. Any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    DaisyMay

    A follow up to my MS word document. I found that I created the file in MS word 2000, and I used the Apple File Security for OS 9 to encrypt it. I can't remember the password, and I do not find anything in the key chain listing.
    I have Pages 08, but I don't think I can use it if I can't remember the password to unlock this old document. Is there a program to decrypt this without a password?
    Thanks,
    DaisyMay

  • Quicktime will not install on my PC - also stopping iTunes from working

    Quicktime and iTunes will not install on my Vista SP 1 PC, Whenever I try to install either I get the following error message;
    Quicktime - "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."
    iTunes - "The installation of Quicktime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires Quicktime."
    From my iTunes error message I hope that by correcting the Quicktime error the iTunes should in turn be fixed.
    I am using the latest installers for each and I can't understand why this is happening,
    I have tried completely removing my old version of Quicktime and tried to copy my other PC's Quicktime folder into this one however that has not worked. I have also tried using the latest installers multiple times however I always get the same error message.
    Please help me fix this error where Quicktime can't install,
    Thanks
    James

    Says windows install package does not operate yet I can install other programs.
    What's the precise text of the message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

  • TS3694 itunes will not install on my laptop any more. The latest update seems incompatible with Windows Vista.

    The latest iTunes update will not install on my HP laptop with Windows Vista. There is a Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error message and it will not load or set p.

    I reinstall Quicktime and it would not launch and gave me the same error messages.
    We'd better check to see if some other application has stashed old versions of QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
    So we'll go looking for the 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.)

    I have tried to uninstall all Abode Acrobat installations but one file remains and refuses to be uninstalled. It gives me this error : Error applying Transforms .

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !
    Regards,
    Vipul

    so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install. 
    Again, what exactly is happening?
    And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.
