Itunes installation fails. Invalid drive

I've downloaded itunes but cannot get it to install. I get a message that says Invalid drive: G/
Any advice?
Thanks.

First a question, have you you ever had any of your special folders such as My Muisc or My Pictures located on another drive - or any other configuration oddities?
Having said that I guess the first thing to try is an installer cleanup:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instruction 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
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
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.
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.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

  • How to  update iTunes - installation failed. iTunes 10.6 to 10.7 or 11

    How to  update iTunes - it goes through the verification process and then gives the error " installation failed". With no error codes. My Macbook Pro is running Lion 10.7.5 and I have iTunes 10.6 and need to upgrade  to 10.7 or 11. My iphone can't be used until I update iTunes

    I downloaded iTunes 10.7 and 11 from the sight and went throught the installation process on both versions and still get the "installation failed" error message at the very end.  I tried to delete iTunes from the Library after several attempts to just reinstall and got the same thing. If I try to install from the software update under the apple top left, it goes throught the whole process and gives me the "no updates were installed due to an error, contact your manufacturer".  I am running Lion 10.7.5 on my Macbook Pro. Nothing seems to work.  My iTunes works fine  but in order to get the media off of my iphone 4 running ios 6 I have to have iTunes 10.7 or later which I can't install.  Totally frustrated.

  • Itunes installation causes CDROM drives to disappear

    Good afternoon,
    System is a VIA chipset Windows 2000 Professional box, fully patched up to and including Service Pack 4. System has a Pioneer DVD drive and a Creative Labs 16X CDRW drive on the same IDE channel one Master, One slave. Wihtout ITunes installed, both drive active and usable reading and writing. If I install ITunes, both drives disappear and only the following tech note gets them back. http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/328585.html

    hi Darrell!
    was it the Adobe document, or the Windows 2000 MS KB document referenced at the end which eventually saw you right?
    I ask because we periodically also get reports of the
    b XP
    version of this problem, referenced in the
    b other
    MS KB doc mentioned there. (that one is a peculiarly nasty problem, given that it happens because people once
    b uninstalled
    those packages, and don't even have them on their PCs any more.)
    love, b

    I haven't seen that one for quite a while.
    It has been associated with problems installing Vista updates. You might take a look to see that Vista updating is functional and that you are up to date.

  • ITunes installation error - no C-drive, invalid C-drive, or specified path too long

    This is an answer rather than a question as answer to a previous question seemed unresolved and I had similar problem which I have resolved. I thought posting it might help others...
    My OS System disk wasn't set as the C-drive (how or why I'm not sure, but I have several OS installations and 2 hard-drives and must be a result of the way I installed these). And so I had no C-drive at all (except when I plugged in USB Pen's they would appear as C-drive).
    iTunes wouldn't let me install unless I had a C-drive - probably said I had an invalid C-drive or something. So I tried creating a virtual C-drive by mapping the C: drive letter to a new empty folder on my system disk (G-drive) to "C:". See - http://ask-leo.com/i_have_no_c_drive_but_some_programs_insist_on_it_what_can_i_d o.html
    This DIDN'T resolve the problem as it merely created a different error message - it said: "The specified path is too long C:\Program Files" NB This is despite me telling it to install iTunes to the G-drive.
    Solution: I removed the virtual C-drive (ie. mapping of "C:"  to the new folder) and instead in My Computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management, I assigned the C: drive letter to a drive partition I use for storing media (I plan to name it back else several programms will fail to store media correctly). I also moved the iTunes.exe installation file to that C: partition in case that helped. Installation (still told to be the G-drive) was now successful.
    What I noticed is iTunes created the following path - C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02\lib\ext - and dumped this file there: QTJava.zip Looks suspiciously like an install file for the bundled (and required) updated Quick Time, which it obviously requires to be dumped on a C-drive. Once installed I doubt that file will still be needed, so I'll delete it after I restart (it won't let me at the mo).
    If you don't have extra partitions that you can assign C-drive to, then you could either try Adding (rather than changing) the C: drive letter to your current System disk. IN FACT I'M THINKING THAT'D BE THE BEST THING TO DO ANYWAY as then all programmes will use the correct system disk regardless of whether they think they should be using G: or C: (though I've not tried it, so can't be sure this works). Alternatively I reckon you could connect a USB stick and assign C-drive to that (if it isn't in fact automatically assigned it). Allow it to dump the QTJava.zip file on to it and once installed, you can remove the USB Stick - NB I'd suggest using the Safe Removal. (Well, might be worth restarting first in case it is referencing anything on it that isn't finished until restart.)
    Hope this helps someone as was driving me potty coz I couldn't update my iTunes and thus couldn't sync my iPhone!

    Hi AltafB,
    For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

    Besides, since you deploy Orchard to Azure, you can also publish it directly using publish profile in Visual Stduio or WebMatrix directly.

  • Reinstall Premier Elements 11 after the original installation drive failed. Error 1327.Invalid Drive

    I am attempting to reinstall Adobe Premier Elements 11 from DVD on a Windows 7 64bit system.  The drive that hosted my original instance has failed.  It was installed on a secondary drive, E that, sadly, is no longer with the system.  In the reinstall process I am removing the original instance, as seemes to be required, but I enconter the error "Error1327.Invalid Drive: E:\".
    How do I proceed with getting Adobe Premier Elements 11 back on my system?
    Note: Similar problem with Photoshop Elements, except that no errors are encountered, it just fails to launch as it appears to have pointers back to the failed drive.

    You would have to manually edit that info from the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software and possibly also manually empty the Windows installer cache. Perhaps soem alternate "Uninstaller" like Revo can help you clean out this stuff...

  • Installer fails: message invalid drive

    Hi Everybody,
    I have a strange behaviour during XE installation. On one PC (Win2000 SVP4) which has an unformatted partition and no drive D: the installer fails with the message: Invalid drive D: When assigning the CDROM drive to drive D: the installation works.
    Has somebody run into the same problem or any ideas?

    Hi Konstantin,
    the problem is that we have to install XE on many different PC's, which all have individual setups and configurations. Not speeking of different OS and different language versions. But as Oracle claims to be compatible to alomst anything we are doing it.
    So we run into one problem after the other as you can see.
