ITunes Fatal Error Installation

Hello, recently a notification for iTunes updated popped up & i run it. However, halfway through the update hang & when i tried to open itunes they told me to reinstall.
I tried to reinstall but a box came out saying there is something wrong with the windows installer package & i have to contact the vendor. iTunes then proceeded to install as per normal & it even says that iTunes was installed successfully.
However, when i double click on the shortcut icon, a dialog box stating that windows is configuring itunes came out. that took a few minutes and then it states that "Fatal Error during Installation".
Can somebody help me? I used ccleaner to clean out any temp files & completely uninstall itunes & quicktime before installing it again, i also ran windows update & tried restory point but it all fail.
thank you.

Same issue for me - been trying to solve it for over a month and put many hours of experimentation and research in. So far this is what I think I've found out.
When windows installs iTunes it fails to install/reinstall the Apple Software Update component of the software. When it's being installed it stops and puts up an error about a faulty Windows Installer - and then afterwards you can check if this is true by going into installed programs and when I look its not there.
Then when I click on the iTunes logo to configure and open up the software it says "fatal error during installation." This is because a component of the installation is missing.
I hope someone knows what to do.
If anyone knows how to install this so that the whole

Try first going through this article to remove iTunes and Quicktime completely (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698).
After you remove everything, don't re-install yet. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301). After insalling that, remove any references of iTunes, Apple, or Quicktime in the list.
Try re-installing now.

***********Itunes= Fatal error!!!*************

i recently bought a Aspire 5515 (WOOPS!) which apparently are total garbage and im unable to install most things like virus scans, but that is beside the point. Itunes is the most frustrating for me because i just bought an iphone. What occurs is when i try to install itunes i get an error which says " There is an error with this windows installer package. A program required for this install could not be run. Contact your support personal or package vendor". It happened after i upgraded from itunes 7 or 8, which ever one, and went to a higher more advanced itunes, which is 9.0. After this message it rolls back and then it continues to attempt to install quick time ( which does not either...). After pointlessly installing Itunes i open and it gets a fatal error when it attempts to configure itunes or do something with it on its first opening.
Please help me with this because praying just doesn't seem to work and i really would hate for my laptop to go through a wall...

With that one, I'd start with polydorus's suggestions from the following post:

"Fatal error" installation of Adobe Reader 9.3.3

Having problems downloading pdf documents - either incomplete or blank & various error messages.
Have just tried to remove (add/remove dialogue box shows 220MB but "rarely used) and re-install and can't - getting fatal error massages and unable to resolve.
Anyone had similar problems?

From your mention of "add/remove" I assume that you are on Windows. Use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove your current Adobe Reader installation; get it from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html

Fatal error installation code 1603 for all-in-one printer C4280

Until a month ago, I'd been successfully running my C4280 with my Dell 1535 (Windows 7 32-bit) for about a year. (It's not a new printer but it works perfectly well; it was a hand-me-down after my own HP printer died after many, many years of good service.) I uninstalled the software because the Solution Center stopped working, cleaned up my registry, deleted temp files, ran Uninstall L_3, installed Windows updates, installed Malwarebytes, checked the condition of my .NET Framework, etc., etc. I have literally spent about a month trying to get the printer software to install to no avail. I have been in every forum on the internet, tried every solution posted here or on the Micsrosoft website. I have read about the incompatibiltiy between HP and Win 7 and cannot find a solution. I don't know what else to do.
The only thing I have not done--and will not do--is to reinstall Windows, the last solution suggested by all the HP reps when all other solutions fail. What does it say about a tech-based company who's solution is to throw the baby out with the bathwater?
Pretty pathetic that one would have to chuck out a perfectly good printer because the software will not install. If anyone has any viable suggestions--other than rolling back the system to an earlier version or re-installing Windows--I'd LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to hear it. If I'm forced to buy a new printer because I could not install the driver, I vow never to buy another HP product as long as I walk the earth.
Here's the log info:

Hi BunnyVonBunny,
I appreciate your efforts thus far and I understand how frustrating this has been. Please complete the steps in the following document; Fatal Error 'Error 1603. A fatal error occurred during installation' (MSI Error 1603) Displays Durin....
Some of these steps maybe the same as what I have already suggested but doing them in the order the document suggests could be what it takes to resolve the issue.

New itunes install error - Installation package could not be opened. Verify

I Just bought a brand new computer last night. I am trying to install Itunes and get the following error. "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists ad that you can access it, or contacnt the applicaiton vendor to verify that this is avalid windows installer package"
I am running windows 7 64 bit home premium. I have verified that i have downloaded the correct itunes version itunes64setup.exe
So far i have tried
-downloading and installing all microsoft updates
-disabled all anti virus and firewall software,
-rebooting and re-downloading
-tried installing quicktime first. (gives me the same error)
-stopping and restarting windows installer
-deleted all items from the temp folder
-tried running itunes64setup.exe as admin and also in compatibility mode
-verified i have downloaded itunes64setup.exe with IE 64 bit
I am at a loss. I can not find any real solution for this problem. I am now 5 hours into trying to find an answer. This is a brand new computer and I have installed no other programs on it than what came out of the box.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!!

Well if anyone else runs into this problem, this is how i got it fixed.
I did a complete system restore to the origional factory default on the computer. I would not have thought that this would have been needed as it was brand new out of the box with nothing downloaded/changed on it.
However it worked. The only thing I can thing of, is that on the origional factory install of the software there may have been a corrupt or missing file that when I did a new install corected itself.
If you have the origional windows disk that came with the computer I would use that to completely reinstall windows. If you are like me and they didnt provide you a disk, I made a complete backup of the system to disk and made a recovery disk just to be safe before restoring the system.
Hopefully this is helpfull to someone.

Itunes fatal error when upgrading to 7.7

this happened after the itunes installed but before the qt install. i figured it was something to do with apple software update since it is now screwed up and will not run from the program menu nor can i uninstall it from add remove programs. i rebooted and tried to reinstall itunes, got exactly the same error but itunes is up and running. apple software update is now hosed and i can't seem to find a palce on the apple website where i can download a version of it by itself.

i figured it was something to do with apple software update since it is now screwed up and will not run from the program menu nor can i uninstall it from add remove programs.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any *Apple Software Update* entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
Quit out of CleanUp, and then restart the PC.
Now uninstall and reinstall iTunes. (This should reinstall Apple Software Update.)
Does that install go through properly? If so, is your ASU back and running properly?

Hi
I need some helps here.
I am doing the installation of BO XI Integration Kit for SAP Solutions. It was not successful.
I have follow note 1391885 but no avail.
SAPGUI 7.01 has been installed in the machine.
The required sapjcorfc.dll file is copied over to ..\System32.
The required sapjco3.jar file is copied over to ..\Business Objects\Tomcat55\common\lib.
The required librfc32.dll file is copied over to ..\System32.
My machine is Windows 2008 SP2 64bit.
All above file is base on the machine specification.
Appreciate an advise.

Hi,
- looks like you are using 2 different versions of SAP JCo - you have to use SAP JCo v 2.1.8
- what else is installed on the system
Thanks Ingo
Unfortunately, SAP JCo 2.1.8 is no longer available in SAP market place.
The one that I have downloaded is the latest one and for my machine specification.
Here are the details from SAP market place.
I am choosing the 64bit X86.
Note on 32bit versus 64bit: You only need the 64bit version, if you are using a 64bit Java VM. If you have to use a 32bit Java VM on a 64bit platform, please download the 32bit version of JCo. But you should always prefer the 64bit variant on 64bit platforms.
Some JVMs offer both modes: 32bit as well as 64bit. In this case you need to start the JVM with an additional startup parameter to specify the mode. (Please consult the JVM documentation.)
Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows Server 2003 / Windows Server 2008:
32bit    SAP JCo 3.0.5 as zip file (3.191 KB), March 15, 2010

HT1926 When i try to download itunes during installation it says something about a fatal error and closes down. how can i fix this?

the older version of bonjour could not be removed
Let's see if we can make some progress with that one first.
(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 Bonjour 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?

Itunes 7.6 installation Fatal Error during installation

I successfully installed Itunes into my account - as the administrator. However, my other computer users users can't install the new version. The get a window that pops up: Problem with shortcut, fatal error during installation. I have tried removing and re-installing, I even followed all the steps in the trouble article #93976. I also deleted the user, created a new on, made that user an adminstrator and still can't install. HELP!

I found on another post that concerns this same topic that someone has responded with the following solution:
I ran into the same problem, but I think I have the solution. First, the problem isn't with iTunes, its an access problem with Windows XP. I tried to run the iTunes program from the Program Files, and I received an "Access Denied" error.
If you try to open the Program Files in My Computer\Local Disk(C:) and receive an "Access Denied" Error, that is why you are receiving a "shortcut problem/Fatal Error during installation".
Here is how I corrected it:
1) Shut down the computer and restart it in "safe mode". I had to look up how to do this, but I pressed F8 when it was restarting and I highlighted the "safe mode" and started the machine. The icons will be large, but ignore it.
2) Open a user that has administrative access -- I used the one user that has access to itunes.
3) Go to My Computer\Local Disk (C:) and right click on the "Program Files" folder. Select "properties" at the bottom.
4) Go to the Security Tab
5) At the top you should see one or two users that have access to the Programs File. One will be the user that itunes works on. Click Add, then click Advanced, then click Find Now.
6) At the bottom should appear a list of users. Select a user on which itunes doesn't work. Click Ok, then click OK again.
7) Give that user full access to the Program File by putting a check mark in the Full Access box.
8) Repeat for the remaining users.
9) Restart computer in normal mode.
10) Go into a user that had problems and click the itunes icon, and it should run.
It worked for me, I hope it works for you.
I have not tried it yet, but when I have the time to sit and actually do it, and if it works, I will definitely let you guys know!
