ITunes 9 installation error "Error getting file security"

Every time I try to install iTunes 9, I get this error:
Error getting file security: C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\QuickTime 7.62.14.0\GetLastError: 5
Any ideas? I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

itunes installs quicktime. The trouble is with the security settings in the folder in C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache.
On both the Apple Computer folder and the Installer Cache, you will need to take ownership. Then delete the quicktime folder.
First, to see the folder, in explorer go to Organize, folder options, then view tab. There click the radio button see hidden files and unclick hide protected system files.
Then navigate over to the folder location above.
Right click on the folders, click on properties, then security.
There at the bottom, click on advanced. Then click on the owner tab. There you can change the owner to the user that you logged on as.
That should fix it. Remember to delete the quicktime folder after to take ownership.

  • ITunes.exe - System error / corrupt file

    I purchased an iPod nano about a month ago. Since then about every week my entire iPod content is erased while i transfer music to iTunes. All of a sudden it disconnects and says "iTunes.exe - System error / Corrupt file". Each time this happens I need to restore my iPod, which does not help either. I have the latest iTunes version and I downloaded the iPod updater, however none of them make a difference in the situation. I would really like to know whether this can be solved or I need to return the device to the store.

  • 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 Producer installation error

    iTunes Producer gives me this installation error:
    "The installation failed.
    An unknown installation error occurred.
    The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    I'm using a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8, 2.53 GHz Intel processor, 4 GB RAM, with 30 GB of space available on my hard drive. I've already contacted iBookstore Publisher Support. They sent me here. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help,
    Josh

    I just installed Snow Leopard from install DVD 10.6 and then used software update to insure I have the latest system everything on this MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo 2.4 GHz processor, 2GB ram, 133 GB available space on the hard drive.
    I get the same error as above.
    "The installation failed.
    An unknown installation error occurred.
    The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Not only that, I also tried the installation on a recently purchased Mac Mini. Same problem.
    Any hints, folks? It's annoying that the only install of iTunes Producer I can use is on my old, out of date Mac that I am now afraid to upgrade the system on because if this keps happening, I won't be able to upload to iBooks at all.

  • ITunes library consolidation error: "Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

    My iTunes library has outgrown the HDD on my iMac, so I've started to migrate it over to a Synology NAS.  The iTunes Media folder is set to the NAS, but when I attempt to consolidate the library the operation fails each time with the error: "Copying files failed. An unknown error occurred (-50). 
    I have found this references to this error in the communities from Windows users, but I only use Macs.

    Just trying to give this topic a poke as I am having a similar issue.
    I am rebuilding my library that was on an external drive.  I had a backup of much of the files, but not a direct backup of the iTunes media folder, as well I am now moving it to a new iTunes Media directory on a Synology 1813+ NAS running DSM 4.3 vs. a USB attached drive.
    I have followed all of the correct procedures to move the media directory by using the tools within iTunes, and that all worked perfectly.
    So far iTunes has been able to locate most of the music files through its own processes. Once it completed that process I then initiated "Consolidate files" to move the found files to the new iTunes Media directory on the new NAS.
    I am led to believe that the issue is with a specific file that causes the copy process to stop, but I don't know how to capture what file it might be.
    I am not seeing anything relevent in the console log.
    Hoping someone can throw me some ideas...

    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.

  • ITunes + Quicktime installation error

    Originally, I attempted to upgrade my old version of iTunes to version 7.2.3, and at the end of the installation I receive an error saying:
    +An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files+
    I then uninstalled iTunes, and tried to reinstall it to see if it'd fix the problem. But I keep getting the same error message, and the installation will not continue.
    Does anyone know what's wrong with it? And what can I do to fix this? Please help, I'd really appreciate it.

    Given that it's idiosyncratic, let's try seeing if the *General Instalation Troubleshooting* section from the following document is of any help:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
    ... but if no joy there, let's 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: [email protected]
    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
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)

  • Persistent Installation Error (support files)

    I cannot install Snow Leopard. I have researched and tried a lot of different methods. I have gone through the installation over ten times, and nothing works. This is ridiculous. The same disc worked on the same machine a month ago. Snow Leopard was running on the same MacBook, without any problems during the first installation, and now it fails repeatedly. Here's what happened:
    I got the "invalid node structure" error and had to erase and zero-out the internal disk. Disk Utility later verified that the disk was fixed, and no further errors were reported. I also used DiskWarrior to verify this, and it also reported no further errors.
    I proceeded to install Snow Leopard, but at the "15 minutes remaining" waypoint it stalled with the "Installer could not copy the necessary support files" error message. I repartitioned the drive, ensuring it was Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) with the GUID Partition Table. I got the same error.
    I used Disk Utility to verify the installation disc, and it checked out with no errors. The surface is clean with no scratches. This is the same disc I used a month ago, which installed without error, so it's not the disc.
    I thought maybe the optical drive was having trouble reading the disc. I got another machine and used Target Disk Mode to install it remotely, but it stalled with the same error at the same waypoint.
    I read that RAM could be causing issues. There are 2 DIMMS, so each was removed under two separate installation attempts. The same error.
    I used a USB external drive and had Disk Utility make a bootable partition. I then copied the Snow Leopard installation DVD to the partition, and used the USB drive to boot and start the installation. It stalled with the same error at the same waypoint.
    I used a Windows Vista installation disc to repartition the hard disk, curious if it would discover errors. I formatted everything to unallocated space. I then used Disk Utility to repartition and zero-out the disk once more, ensuring the Journaled and GUID scheme once more.
    It's not the disc. It's not the internal hard disk. It's not the optical drive. It's not the RAM. It's not the USB drive. There are no peripherals connected. They all return the same error at the same point during installation.
    I can install Leopard fine. This post is being written on the same machine under Leopard. So there isn't some disk error that the repair utilities aren't reporting. Everything is running smoothly.
    I have tried to install Leopard, then upgrade to Snow Leopard, but it stalls and won't finish either. I have tried this route twice, but each time it will stall at the "one minute remaining" waypoint. If I force restart and resume the installation it gives the "support files" error again.
    So at this point I have exhausted all the installation methods that I'm aware of. This is so frustrating. I want to figure out why the installation fails. Does anyone know of any other methods? I refuse to accept this cannot work for simply no reason, there has got to be something else wrong. Does anyone have advise?

    I have tried to install Leopard, then upgrade to Snow Leopard, but it stalls and won't finish either. I have tried this route twice, but each time it will stall at the "one minute remaining" waypoint.
    How long are you letting it go at that point? I just upgraded an old PowerPC machine from Tiger to Leopard here yesterday. Amusingly, the installer jumped from over 3 hours to 11 minutes within a ten minute period. That last 11 minutes took about an hour, with most of that time spent at "one minute remaining." I've never seen such a long minute in my life! But, I just let it go until it finally finished, which it did. I've seen similar behavior in other Apple installers/updaters and would not be surprised to see it in the SL installer.
    As to the error message you keep getting, that seems at odds with your assumption that all involved drives/disks are fine. There have been some bad SL disks reported, but since you've installed SL from this disk before, I'd say that's not the problem. That leaves your machine. Somehow, I think that you've got a hardware problem that has cropped up since the last time you installed from this disk on this machine. The fact that the disk checks out with Disk Utility and DiskWarrior may simply mean that the drive is in the early stages of failing. Or it might be some other hardware. Do you have an Apple Store nearby?
    I don't think that R C-R's idea about phoning home is correct, as I installed SL while booted from the SL disk. I could be wrong, but I think you would have to manually connect to a wireless network while booted from the install disk, and I did no such thing, which means I was not connected to a network at all when I installed SL. This is not to say that SL doesn't phone home, only that it shouldn't cause a failure if the connection can't be established.
