ITunes 6.0.1 for XP wont install, says installation file is corrupt -

Is this the same error as other people have been getting?
It says Installation file is corrupt, download a fresh copy and try again.
Same error.
This is happening on my friends windows XP machine, it happened on my dads,(problem solved, dont know how??? just d/l it and it worked when i was trying to fix it before i did anything) and on a work mates.
Today, because of this, he formatted his pc, and put everything back on. He tried to install iTunes as soon as he possibly could, no luck. deleted any trace it left, and installed SP 2 etc all the updates. Still no luck. Exact same error.

hi Lee!
It says Installation file is corrupt, download a fresh copy and try again.
hmmm. this has been known to be caused by an nvidia firewall:

... but if that doesn't seem to be relevant, you could also try downloading from the "QT + itunes" site:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
... or using a different browser for the download.
if no joy with that, we could also try cutting the Gordian knot:

keep us posted.

    oh the error msg    error= -100000

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • "Some installation files are corrupt." Trouble Upgrading iTunes.

    Please help. I have been trying to upgrade iTunes from the apple site, but everytime I try I get this error message, "Some installation files are corrupt." If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I also had this problem and solved it by deleting the downloaded file, turning off the firewall and Cybersitter (content filter) and downloading itunes setup again. It then worked perfectly. I therefore recommend you disable any firewall or filtering software you may have (temporarily of course) and try again. Good luck.

  • I have Windows XP and when I try to install and run 3.6.13, it says the file is corrupted. I don't have any previous versions.

    I have Windows XP operating system. I have never installed any version of mozilla firefox. When I try to install and run version 3.6.13, it says the file is corrupted. I have tried just running it. It said it was corrupted. Then I saved it to my computer and tried running it and it still said the file was corrupted.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading and installing work.

  • Uninstalled Itunes Wrong Now it wont install says i need Itunes.msi

    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 QuickTime 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 wont install - trying to remove a corrupt older version

    I cant install itunes because it tries to uninstall an old version. I get an error message saying it is looking for a file that no longer exists, which i can no longer find on my computer either. Actually it is looking for itunes.msi which I have searched for all instances on my computer, and it will not accept any of them as the correct file.
    I am also unable to unistall the old version from control panel for the same reason.
    How can I get itunes to install or how can I remove the old version manually?
    Alternatively, how can I trick the new install to not try and remove the old version?
    Any thoughts. PLEASE!
    Thank you,
    Neil

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Every time I download the latest version of Firfox it wont install & says 'File is corrupted'. Why is this happening? Using Windows XP, Srvc pack 3 - Thanks.

    When the download of the latest version of Mozilla Firefox is starting to instal I receive message 'File is corrupted' - every time! Tried loading manually (several times) - tried turning off AVG Firewall but nothing works. Please help. thanks - Helen

    Disable, except firewall, and your antivirus and then try again to download from : http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Open the Windows Temp folder: in XP: Start -> Run -> Type %temp% -> OK. Select all files and folders in the Temp folder and delete them, then close the Temp folder window.
    Make sure Firefox is not running and that no instance of "firefox.exe" appears in the Windows Task Manager.
    Now try to install the fresh copy from the link above.
    Do not forget to enable anti-virus software after you are finished with installation.
    thank you

    Hi Raphe,
    There are a couple of things I know that can cause this. One of which I have experienced myself.
    Sometimes, your router may be faulty. This will usually effect all downloads unless they are very small files. I have experienced this myself, and found the only way to fix the problem is to replace it.
    Another problem that could cause this is a virus. You should scan your computer for viruses using a trusted antivirus. The virus is sometimes scareware which claims you have a virus, but actually, the only virus is the scareware antivirus!
    I hope this helps,
