ITunes/Quicktime 7.3 upgrade error - can't uninstall previous version..?

While trying to install the new version of iTunes and Quicktime, I get an error while installing:
I checked the folder, and the iTunes.msi file is definitely there.
When I quit the installer, it said to try the Tools > Download Only option in the apple update software. I did it, and opened the iTunes.msi file, and got the same error.
I also tried uninstalling iTunes from Add/Remove Programs, but the same box in the picture above pops up.
Any suggestions?
iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation   Windows XP   Service Pack 2. Custom built PC. MB: Chaintech 7VJL APOJEE. Chipset: VIA KT333

With those ones try the following procedure:
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

  • Can I safely uninstall previous versions? Move licence to new PC?

    I have PS going back to PS5 and all subsequent upgrade versions to CS5. Can I uninstall old versions through add and remove?
    Also what is the procedure for moving to a new PC - regarding licencing? Do I have to load every version on the new PC till I get to CS5?
    Thanks
    John

    Some people have had problems uninstalling old versions. They tend to take file associations with them, leaving "stuck" registry keys, so that you can no longer associate file types to open in Photoshop.
    The way to avoid that is to uninstall everything in inverse version order, then reinstall the latest. Yes, it's a pain.
    If you don't plan to use it on the old machine anymore, remember to deactivate. You're allowed two activated installations at the same time, provided you're the only user, but you may need the second activation later.
    When you install an upgrade the installer will ask for the serial number of a qualifying version, if it doesn' find one on your HD. Put in the serial for the previous upgrade and go. You don't need them all, the installer is perfectly happy with the last one, even if that is in itself an upgrade.

    It is advisable to remove the earlier version removed or uninstalled as it might interfere the Adobe CC files.
    Moreover the Adobe CC is the most upgraded version of all the creative suite line of product.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

    How can I uninstall old versions of Adobe Illustrator?

    This is for uninstalling CS2, but you might find it helpful. EDITED: but watch out, since I don't know if trashing any of these will remove currently needed Illustrator files, if you have a later version.
    To uninstall Adobe Creative Suite in Mac OS 1 -- Double-click Activity Monitor.app in Applications/Utilities, select AHCRemind, and click Quit Process.
    2 -- If you intend to install the product on a different computer, transfer the activation. (See “To transfer the product activation” on page 1.)
    3 -- If you want to uninstall Adobe Acrobat, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    4 -- If you want to uninstall Version Cue 2, double-click the uninstaller in Applications/Adobe VersionCue CS2, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Note: If the Version Cue uninstaller fails, see the alternative procecure, “To remove Version Cue manually” on page 4.
    5 -- From the Applications folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: Note: After you drag the items to the trash in steps 5-8, you must empty the trash before you can reinstall
    Adobe Creative Suite 2 on the same computer. • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional • Adobe VersionCue CS2 • Adobe Bridge
    • Adobe GoLive CS2 • Adobe Illustrator CS2 • Adobe InDesign CS2 • Adobe Photoshop CS2 • AdobeHelpCenter.app
    6 -- From the Utilities folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Adobe Utilities • Adobe Updater.app
    7 -- From the Library folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Application Support/Adobe/AdobeHelpData • Application Support/Adobe/Assistance • Application Support/Adobe/StartupScripts/Workflow Automation Scripts
    • Preferences/Adobe/Workflow • Preferences/com.adobe.ActivationUtility.plist • Preferences/com.adobe.GoLive.plist • Preferences/Adobe Save For Web GL 8.0 Prefs
    8 -- From the Users/[user name] folder, drag the following items, if present, to the trash: • Library/Preferences Panes/Opera Preferences
    • Library/Caches/Opera Cache
    • Documents/AdobeStockPhotos
    To remove Version Cue manually (Mac OS only, not recommended)
    If you’ve accidentally removed parts of the Version Cue installation manually or if the uninstaller fails, you have to remove the remaining installed Version Cue components manually.
    1 -- From the Library/PreferencePanes folder, drag the Version Cue CS2.prefPane folder to the trash. 2 -- From the Library/Preferences folder, drag the com.adobe.versioncueCS2.plist file to the trash. 3 -- From the Library/StartupItems folder, drag the AdobeVersionCueCS2 folder to the trash. 4 -- From the Applications folder, drag the Adobe Version Cue CS2 folder to the trash.
    5 -- From [user home]/Library/Preferences/Adobe, drag the Workflow folder to the trash. 6 -- (Optional) From the [user home]/Documents folder, drag the Version Cue folder to the trash.

    I had two laptops stolen and the reinstall is a real pain. This also applies to reformats and changeovers to Windows 7, etcetera.

    Windows 7? Then don't waste your life minutes fumbling with an Acrobat 8 - Windows 7 combination.
    If you are to be using Win 7 you'll need the current release of Acrobat (XI). "X" will function but it is no longer marketed by Adobe.
    Be well...

    I have opened the CC PS CS6 and used the oil paint filter on a photo - no problem. I then opened the new CC Photoshop 2014 and edited a photo - no problem. When I downloaded the CS6 it did give me an additional CS6 Bridge. So far so good, but I will post if I encounter problems.

    help!!! i can't uninstall quicktime 7.0.2 (tried from control panel), which was included in my pc when i bought it, in order to install the newest version of itunes/quicktime. i would try lorraine's fix but can't even manually uninstall qt. got an error message "cannot delet file: cannot read from source file or disk". old version of itunes is gone, couldn't reinstall qt 7.0.2 (to try & repair), and remove apple itunes from NIS. i'd be grateful for any help.

    HELP!!! this is driving me crazy...does anybody know how to fix this problem. how do i uninstall old version of QT in order to upgrade to the stand alone QuickTime and newest version of iTunes? I've already tried to manually delete the QT files and folders but got an error message. This totally *****! Both Apple & Windows support are pointing to each other for fixes.

  • ITunes / Quicktime won't install - error message during in installation

    My computer, a Dell running with Windows Vista, has not been able to have iTunes & Quicktime installed on it in months. I've attempted to install it a countless number of times & tried a variety of things with my computer to install it but it just doesn't work - I get the same error message everytime. I can't even remember what happened to make it start acting so ridiculous.
    It always starts out looking good and everything seems to be working pretty well, the green bar filling up pretty quickly, but then the 'Status' gets to about 'Publishing product information' and the error message pops up and I can't install it. It goes along the lines of "A error occurred during the installation of assembly: ..." then it goes on to say 'Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054F'. Here's a screenshot of the error message with the long whatever on it:
    http://i46.tinypic.com/qoesm1.png
    I believe I get the same message even when I attempt to download the two software separately (iTunes & Quicktime).
    Can any one tell me what needs to be done? I have no idea what to try anymore. All help will be much appreciated. Thank you .
    P.S.: If it helps, I can't really reinstall Internet Explorer (removed it when I downloaded Firefox).

    Thanks!
    (3) And I do not believe I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 installed on this computer, as I just tried to install it and I received this error message: http://i45.tinypic.com/a3m7bc.png
    Okay ... that rules out one possible treatment. Sometimes people with the redistributable installed can get past this by applying a security update for it ... but it looks like the same sorts of problems are preventing it from installing.
    (2) And last time I checked my History I had several failures I believe, however now I only see one failed update, that being Update for Windows (KB944036). The error code listed 8000FFFF. Apparently it's an update for Internet Explorer 8.
    The other primary strategy we (I?) have for dealing with these is to attempt to treat any underlying issues on the PC that prevent Windows Updates from installing. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that your 8000FFFF is related to your IE being uninstalled, I think we'd probably better try following up on the following document:
    [Error when you download updates using Windows Update or Microsoft Update: 8000FFFF|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414]
    After applying those measures, do your Windows update and/or iTunes installation failures clear up?
