ITunes installation error- corrupt files

When installing iTunes from a download, the following message appears:
"Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy and retry installation."
I tried another download, but get the same message.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

are you running this from the website or saving it to disk?
if just running the file try saving it first and then installing it

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.

Error writing to file messages when itunes installation is removing files

I receive almost error writing to file messages when the itunes installation is removing files. I simply click on the retry button without making any access changes and the installation moves on. All of the .rbf files (the first 10 are listed below) are in C:\Config.Msi that errors. Please tell me how to prevent these errors in Windows Vista.

The nearest I can find is there is a conflict between the Windows Backup program (which creates zip files) and Stuffit, which also creates zip files. Have you been using both those programs?

Unable to install 10.7.3, checksum error/corrupt file

I am having problems installing 10.7.3, I tried both the combo and software download methods and both result in similar error messages about checksum errors / corrupt file. I have cleared out any previous updates from my update folder, restarted router, restarted imac, tried download several times between last night and today but no getting past the error messages. The software update method tells me the file is corrupt during the restart installation, the combo download displays the error about checksum when I attempt to open it. Also tried from disk utility and get the same message.
Any advice on how to proceed? I currently have 10.7.2 installed, have no problems downloading other files (downloaded some video from itunes & applications recently although not as large as the 1.3G file that 10.7.3 is). My ISP has a download cap so every attempt reduces my retry.

Spoke too late, at the end of the install the summary window reads:
The installation failed
The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
Back to square one again. Still on 10.7.2.
First time in my apple owning period I have encountered problems such as this, its all worked up until now!

ITunes installation error- see error messages and please help!

Today I tried to update to the latest version of iTunes, but had problems during installation. It looks like iTunes and Quicktime were sucessfully installed but some of the other installation files didn't get downloaded. (I am competent with computers, but definitely not a techie!) There were three things on the installing window that came up, and if I remember correctly, the top one had a red x and the bottom two had green checks.
I have tried repairing my iTunes installation several times, getting all the windows updates for my computer, and repairing the microsoft.net 4 thing that was suggested in another forum. And of course, restarted my computer a bunch of times with all that. I am at the point now where I guess I have to completely uninstall and reinstall?
When I click on iTunes, I get this message:
The procedure entry point
AVCFPlayerItemDurationChangedNotification could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll.
Then I click ok and I get this message:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 127).

+My next problem is, that whenever I plug my iPod Nano, 3rd Gen into my PC, it shuts down and reboots. Any ideas on this one?+
Do you also get that if you try playing a movie using QuickTime?
Are you getting any sort of blue screen when the PC shuts down? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x{zeros/letters/numbers} CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
If the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)
Here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
If you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

ITunes installation error - no way to fix...

Hi.
After my PC was seriously infected with viruses, iTunes ceased to work properly. At that time it was extremely difficult even to use Firefox. So, I simply deleted the iTunes folder from my hard drive, and life went on.
But.
Now my PC is working fine again, iTunes refuses to install. When I open up the installer an error box comes up saying "The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character". It does this before I can select anything. Here's a screenshot - http://yfrog.com/57arghhp.
I've deleted all registry entries for iTunes, tried to remove it through add/remove programs ( but the same thing happens ) and now I've given up.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You may be able to get round this with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility.
Here is a method, it sounds as though you have done a lot of the removal process already, but do anything you haven't already done;
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

ITunes installation errors and Apple Mobile Device Errors

First I will explain how I got to where I am now. I had the an iTunes 7 version, don't know the specific, and I have an ipod touch. I had been ignoring the iTunes 8 upgradge things upon open of iTunes, cause i had absolutely no need for it and syncing music to my ipod was still working, and i dont care for itunes besides being able to use my ipod. Then the iphone os 3.0 came out and i wanted to download/pay for it, and when i attempted to do this i was promptly instructed that I needed iTunes 8. I closed itunes and reopened so i could just tell the prompt that i wanted to upgrade, then bonjour opened and i selected the itunes/quicktime package, it gave me an error saying i needed to download manually, so i turned off automatic install. I then downloaded again, it opened a folder with iTunes.msi among other things, I double clicked itunes.msi and it proceeded to install. I then had iTunes 8 installed, opened it up, and with my ipod touch connected, it told me I needed upgraded apple mobile device and i had to uninstall both apple mobile device and itunes to do this. so i uninstall itunes through add/remove programs, and attempted to uninstall apple mobile device and everytime i did this it would not complete and gave me "Fatal Error" prompt. I then tried to reinstall iTunes and it would not install, kept giving me an error and told me to try again. I searched google for answers and the best anyone could say was delete missing files and try again, so i can CCleaner and got rid of registrys etc, and still would not allow me to uninstall apple mobile device. i reinstalled itunes and it actually worked this time, and then i plug in my ipod touch and it tells me i need the upgraded apple mobile device again, and that i need to uninstall apple mobile device and itunes to do this. If i could get rid of apple mobile device altogether maybe i wouldnt have this problem, but it simply wont let me. Any help with this? and sorry this was so long, i figured someone would need to know what happened to know how to fix it.

It sounds as though using the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility is worth a go.
I will give you a method for removal of iTunes and related programs with clean up, I think you have already done the removal, but just in case you missed anything out.

ITunes Installation Error Message?

I recently had to install an update for iTunes. After the update was installed, I was promted by an error message that "iTunes was not installed correctly", and that I needed to reinstall iTunes. Once I completed the process of uninstalling iTunes, I began to reinstall iTunes. After the reinstallation process, I was then prompted by another error message that had said, "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I have continued to receive this error prompt every time that I have attempted to reinstall iTunes. I have even followed troublshooting procedures on this Apple Support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 and still have not had any luck. Is there anyone that can help me with this please?

Downloaded new itunes...corrupted file

I tried to download the new 6.0.5 itunes version and it downloaded completely and asked if i wanted to run the program. i clicked run and it loaded a bar that said itunes + quicktime but when it finished loading it said that the file was corrupt and that i needed to download a fresh copy. I delete the file from my computer and try redownloading. this time it takes seconds because it was loaded once before. Still i get the same message that it is a corrupt file and that i need to load a fresh copy...how can i get it to work?

Well, before installing a new download, you would
probably need to uninstall the old version at this
point, or it will probably continue to give you the
corrupt file message.
if you have issues in uninstalling and reinstalling,
try some of the things in this link...

Fed up with Seagate external... (files in use, -43 errors, corrupted files)

Hello everyone...
I wasn't sure where to put this, I hope this is right. I did a search on this but couldn't find anything relating to my problem.
Anyway, I have this 2 year old Seagate FreeAgentDesktop 250GB drive that's been causing me nothing but trouble for most of the time that I've owned it. It was fine for the first few months (HFS+ Journaled reformat), but then it started acting up. File transfers would interrupt at random because the file being transferred was "in use", which it clearly wasn't. It wouldn't unmount anymore because the drive was "in use", even when it clearly wasn't.
The data was very corrupted, opening video files either gave a "-50 error" in quicktime, or it wouldn't open because the file was "in use". I wasn't able to delete files either. Sometimes I got lucky and it would start working again after a restart or after pulling the usb plug.
I got fed up with it and put it in its box.
Now I'm in need of external space again, so I decided to give this drive another try. Verifying and repairing the disk with Disk Utility were both unsuccessful. I ended up reformatting it on a windows machine and then again with Disk Utility in Mac OS Extended. But I'm getting the same exact problems again after moving 2 or 3 files to the disk.
Is this a software problem? Hardware? It's still in warranty but I want to be sure that it's faulty. Is anyone else having these problems?
Here's a list of errors that I'm getting:
- "The operation can’t be completed because the item “-” is in use." upon trying to move a file to the drive.
- "The operation can’t be completed because one or more required items can’t be found.
(Error code -43)" upon trying to delete a file.
- When opening an .avi file, I either get error -50, "file in use" or the file opens with a 00:00:00 duration.
- "The file “-.jpg” could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." upon opening a .jpg file.
Here's the info:
Name : Seagate FreeAgentDesktop Media
Type : Disk
Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table
Disk Identifier : disk1
Media Name : Seagate FreeAgentDesktop Media
Media Type : Generic
Connection Bus : USB
USB Serial Number : 6****Q

I'm not a hardware expert, but Seagate had a major HD firmware issue earlier this year:

I've:

attempted to run as administrator
logged off and logged in as local admin and attempted to install as local admin
ran full chkdsk
ran the microsoft fit tool to uninstall all apple applications (no errors or issues found)
i have no firewall enabled

so far none of these has gotten passed installing itunes and "registering modules" durring the installation
downloaded four copies of the install from apple.com; none worked

Let's try the fixit from the following Microsoft document:

Hard drive error - Corrupt files - Archive and Install?

Hi
I have been using Onyx for a while and last week it asked me to reinstall the Snow Leopard disc. I verified this in Disk Utility first and that also advised I had corrupt files. I installed the disc and all seemed fine when i checked again in Disk Utility. But now a week later I have the same problem and not sure whether it is a problem with 0SX or my hard drive. My mac pro is still under Applecare and they advised tonight that I should do another archive and install and if does not fix then to take the machine into my local Apple store.
Red part of Error message is - Invalid volume file count - it should be 362310 instead of 362313 and Invalid volume directory count - it should be 99776 instead of 99773.
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. - Error: This disk needs to be repaired etc.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem. I use Aperture 3 & Final Cut Express and until recently had problems getting the two to work together until Applecare helped.
Many thanks
Matt

Other people have certainly experienced a corrupt HFS volume header, which is what you have, or did have. It should be a very rare occurrence. If it happens frequently, then your drive is probably failing and should be replaced.
