ITunes 10.2.2 won't install - Error message about Windows Installer package

I ran a prompted update on iTunes for 10.2.2 for Windows Vista, and it completely wrecked itself. iTunes would no longer open, and it said that the shortcuts no longer existed.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes and all traces of it, and re-installing it, but keep getting an error msg that says "Problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required could not be run." I even tried a previous version of iTunes (10.1) and got the same error.
Can anyone help with this?

I had the same problem with updating my itunes. I spent hours trying to figure out how to fix it
After updating my windows 7 and fixing all the "corrupt" files, what seems to finally work for me was this
Go to add or remove programs in the control panel, on Windows 7, just go to start, control panel, and then uninstall a program. Find Apple Software Update on the list, and click on repair. Once that is done, try to download iTunes again and it should work.

    I'm trying to install itunes on my new computer and I keep getting the error message about Windows Installer. I've seen the other posts regarding this issue, however, I am unable to even get it to load for it to show up under "Programs".

    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

  • ITunes / Quicktime won't install - error message during in installation

    My computer, a Dell running with Windows Vista, has not been able to have iTunes & Quicktime installed on it in months. I've attempted to install it a countless number of times & tried a variety of things with my computer to install it but it just doesn't work - I get the same error message everytime. I can't even remember what happened to make it start acting so ridiculous.
    It always starts out looking good and everything seems to be working pretty well, the green bar filling up pretty quickly, but then the 'Status' gets to about 'Publishing product information' and the error message pops up and I can't install it. It goes along the lines of "A error occurred during the installation of assembly: ..." then it goes on to say 'Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054F'. Here's a screenshot of the error message with the long whatever on it:

    I believe I get the same message even when I attempt to download the two software separately (iTunes & Quicktime).
    Can any one tell me what needs to be done? I have no idea what to try anymore. All help will be much appreciated. Thank you .
    P.S.: If it helps, I can't really reinstall Internet Explorer (removed it when I downloaded Firefox).

    Thanks!
    (3) And I do not believe I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 installed on this computer, as I just tried to install it and I received this error message: http://i45.tinypic.com/a3m7bc.png
    Okay ... that rules out one possible treatment. Sometimes people with the redistributable installed can get past this by applying a security update for it ... but it looks like the same sorts of problems are preventing it from installing.
    (2) And last time I checked my History I had several failures I believe, however now I only see one failed update, that being Update for Windows (KB944036). The error code listed 8000FFFF. Apparently it's an update for Internet Explorer 8.
    The other primary strategy we (I?) have for dealing with these is to attempt to treat any underlying issues on the PC that prevent Windows Updates from installing. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that your 8000FFFF is related to your IE being uninstalled, I think we'd probably better try following up on the following document:
    [Error when you download updates using Windows Update or Microsoft Update: 8000FFFF|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414]
    After applying those measures, do your Windows update and/or iTunes installation failures clear up?

  • Coolorus won't install, error message about photoshop version 11-14 Help?

    I bought Coolorus colour picker yesterday to use with Photoshop CS6 but the extension manager keeps saying "this extension cannot be installed, it requires photoshop version in range of inclusively 11 and 14." Is the colour picker not compatible with newer versions or can it be installed differently?
    I'm running a Dell Inspiron 15r special edition with an i7 and 16gb ram. The version of photoshop is apparently 13 and the manager is 7.0.0.374
    Any help would be great
    Thanks

    You have to use Extension Manager CS6 to install this extension for Photoshop CS6.

  • Fix Packs (4.1 & 4.2); Wont Install; Error message: CRC Failed in package

    We receive the following message when we try to install fix packs 4.1 and 4.2.  The fix pack will correct issues identified with the installation of service pack 4. The error message states: "Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation".
    I did a second download and receive the same error message.  Has anyone else run into this problem while downloading the identified fix packs (4.1 & 4.2)?

    Are you downloading from the new SAP site or the older BO ESD site located at http://businessobjects.subscribenet.com?
    I know on the ESD site there is a link for "more details". This will bring up a page with the md5 sum of the file.
    After downloading to your workstation you need to run a md5sum program against the downloaded file and make certain that the md5 sum matches what is listed on the ESD site. If it does not match, then your downloaded file is corrupted.
    If you search the internet there are many free md5sum programs. It is usually already included on most unix and linux platforms with the command md5sum.
    Are you downloading windows or unix patches?
    If unix, do not use a windows zip utility. Always transfer the files to your unix server via binary mode ftp and then unzip/untar using unix utilities.

  • I keep geting this message when trying to udate to Itunes 10.5.1 "There is a problem with the Windows Installer package. A program run as part odf the setup did not finish as expected . Contact your support prersonel or package vender"

    I keep getting this message when trying to upgrade to Itunes 10.5.1
    Driving me nuts trying to upgrade. What can I do to correct this?
    "There is a problem with the Windows Installer package.
    A program run as part odf the setup did not finish as expected .
    Contact your support prersonel or package vender"

    Yes, I had found a similar solution also.  I'm running XP Pro, SP3.  I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair.  Then run the 10.5 exe.
    While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess.  Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes.  Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing.  I haven't begun to work on that.

  • ITunes 7.7 Won't Install/Error message

    Every time I attempt to upgrade I get this error message after the download finishes:
    "Errors occurred when installing the updates. If there problem persists update manually"
    So is there a way to fix this or how do I upgrade manually?

    some folks have been having some success with pgfpdwife's technique in the following post:
    pgfpdwife: Re: Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classic\Quicktime.Quicktime\
    note carefully that the technique involves a registry edit. be sure to make a backup of any keys you edit. if you're unfamiliar with your registry or registry editing, head to your XP help and support, do a search on registry, and read through the articles that come up.
    if you would prefer not to try a registry edit, let's instead try getting an installer log to the Apple Engineers for a look:
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing (if you are seeing one)

  • 10.8.5 won't install-error message javascript

    I got this error message when trying to update from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5. App update said I don't have any updates to make but I'm not running 10.8.5 and it is listed as a purchased program in the app store.
    "OSX updated combined can't be installed on this disk. An error occured while evaluating JavaScript for the package."

    Nope. Same error message when trying to install just the 10.8.5 update rather than the combo or the supplemental. Any other ideas?
    I can't even find this error message when I search Apple Support pages.
    I'm headed for the app store to re-download Mountain Lion which should give me 10.8.5. It is 4.4 GB so it must be the whole thing.

  • Reinstalled iTunes 10.7 and now get an error message about the iTunes Store when iTunes opens

    I just reinstalled iTunes 10.7 on my pc (Windows Vista 64-bit) after that disastrous iTunes 11, and now when iTunes opens, I get an annoying error message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured (4002)" I click on OK and I have no problem with iTunes opening and playing anything but how can I get rid of this annoying message? I'm not even trying to get into the iTunes Store.
    Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

  • I tried to update itunes to the latest version yet it wont update. Im currently getting a error message,from  Window Installer, configuration dat for this product is corru

    The path 'C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes.msi' cannot be found.  Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've 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".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Itunes won't install - error message "Later version already Installed"

    I'm a stumped PC Windows XP user - I have downloaded the last few updates to Itunes and each one has said that I already have a later version of Itunes installed. I have uninstalled, deleted and cleaned up all files as suggested by Apple and even gone to the trouble of manually editing the registry to delete all Itunes, Ipod and QuickTime references to see if that will sort it, to no available.
    The bit I don;t undersdtand is how can a aletr version than the current one exist unless there are version numbering or date issues.
    Anyway I have had to regress to version 7.1.1.5
    Any clever people have a clue.... All help much appreciated
