ITunes 10 Installation Error: Windows Installer

I'm sure this is a common issue, but I have yet to even solve this problem and I am in need of assistance. Topic with same issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2599360
I have uninstalled a previous version of iTunes to upgrade to iTunes 10. When I finished downloading it, I go into the installation process. Right in the middle of the installation, an error message pops up with this:
+*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've tried many solutions while I lurked the internet:
-Run As Administrator
-Installed the Latest Updates
-Updated Windows Installer
-Cleared Unworking Registry Files
And some I may have forgotten, but I'm sure I covered all of it.
I'm still given the same issue after all that.
Is there something that still needs to be done?
I'm running on an Acer laptop with Windows Vista.

Thanks for the help, polydorus!
But now I have another issue.
Before I had the iTunes problem, my sister gave me her iPod Touch 3G, which has been synced on her laptop before. I resetted via the Reset Options in the iTouch, then after a reboot, it came up with the iTunes Logo, a +, with the USB iPod Connector. So, I did what it said. I pulled up iTunes and plugged the iTouch in... The iPod Touch doesn't appear on the list. I tried unplugging it and putting it back in, resetting iTunes... then I upgraded iTunes, and now I'm still having the same problem.
So, my question is now... How can I get iTunes to find my iTouch?
I tried uninstalling Apple Mobile Device, but unsuccessfully uninstalling it, I repaired it after being able to upgrade iTunes. Could that be an issue?

Itunes 10 installation error - Windows installer package

When I try and install I tunes 10 i get this error. "There is a problem with this windows installer package a program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact support personnell or package vendor"

I also had this problem, and looked at variatent solutions such as clean unistalls and DEP conflicts within windows itself. I even talked to the genisus team at my local apple store!! all were'nt able to solve this problem.
However, i done some research into the problem and realised that the problem was with the Apple Update software that is downloaded during install.
so i ran the udate program thing that the computer wants to update itself and ITUNES INSTALLED! to do it your self before you upset your registery is go to- C:\program files\apple updates and double click on the blue globe icom and in my circumstance itunes installed. I hope this helps and i hope Apple would offer me the job better that their own tech guys.

Device Installer error - Windows could not load the installer Image.

I am windows XP and have loaded new Itunes 7.7 and the Iphone 3G I just received cannot be recognized by my PC/XP I get a dialog box saying
Device Installer Error
Windows could not load the Installer Image. Contact your hardware vendor for assistance.
OK
Of course it is not OK hence why I am here seeking help from this fine community of users of superior Apple products

Deleted Itunes, Quicktime, apple mobile support and updater. Reinstalled and it all worked. Had to do the same thing last time. NOT TOO FUN.

I need help getting past the installation error "windows cannot fint TEMP file"

I need help getting past the installation error "windows cannot find TEMP file"

Seems like some who have tried two devices on the JMICRON IDE port have had trouble. Try without the hard drive and see if you get that error. If that is the case I would try a PATA to SATA converter for your hard drive and connect it to one of the Intel SATA Ports.

I discovered the cause of this problem. I had pointed my "My Documents" folder to a NAS drive that I had rather than my C drive. Apparently Photoshop was dependant on it being on the C dirve. When I repointed this back to my C drive CS5 installed properly.

Hi Diesel vdub,
Did that and I tried again, download stops halfway through and comes up with same message I have already quoted. Wifi Signal is 5/5, network is working, just not letting me download via iTunes.

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.

I am unable to install iTunes due to Windows Installer error message on Vista

I needed to update my iTunes since I purchased the iPad2. My Windows Vista machine will not allow me to update the program due to a "Windows Installer" error message. I first attempted to update, then I uninstalled and am unable to reinstall the software."There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run..."

I finally got the program to install/run. I downloaded a third copy and saved it again on the desktop. I selected "Run as Administrator" instead of "Run" It must have been the 10th plus time I tried to install, but this time it completed. I don't know if the "Run as Administrator" was the key since it is Vista, or if I just got lucky. Either way I am relieved.

ITunes 10.5 Error- Windows Installer Package

Previously, I had iTunes on my computer, but then got rid of it because my iPod got stolen. I now have a new one, but iTunes 10.5 will not install on my computer. When I've tried to install it, right before it was done installing, an error message popped up saying, "There is a problem with the Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I've looked through support topics, but cannot find the solution. Please help.
If it helps any, my computer is Windows Vista Home Premium.

Go to support.microsoft.com/fixit
In section 2 click on: Install or upgrade software or hardware
Then click on the title in section 3: Fix problems with programs that cannot be installed or uninstall

Itunes: Fatal Error During Installation (it wont download at all) HELP!

Yesterday my iTunes (7.3.1) was working with no problems then the iTunes + Quicktime upgrade came up telling me to download the newer version but I didnt want to download it yet untill after i restarted my computer so I exited out of both the upgrade screen and iTunes then restarted the computer and when I tried to open up iTunes (after restarting), a little window came up saying:

Then another window pops up saying:
*+Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\fi.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. +*
*+Verify that you have access to that directory.+*
