ITunes upgrade installation cancelled - Can't uninstall or complete install

Hi All
I have tried upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3 today and it took forever to install. During the installation process I stopped the install which also took a long time to stop. I CtrlAltDeleted and stopped this task. The problem is, I can no longer access iTunes via the desktop shortcut. An error message says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". I have tried downloading iTunes v 9.0.3 again from the Apple website and tried installing over the top but I then get the following message "Another Installation is in Progress. You must complete the installation before continuing this one". I have also tried uninstalling all Apple products from my computer but I get the same message that I must complete the install before continuing with the install.
I have also downloaded Windows Installer Clean Up Installation Wizard to try I clean up my installs but I then get the following message when I try and install this "Error 1500. Another installation is in progress. You must complete this installation before continuing this one.
All I want to do, is either remove the current partial install of iTunes so I can reinstall my original version or complete the partial install.
Can someone please help me out?????
Thanks

Have a similar problem trying to install iTunes after a comlete removal based on the instructions from Apple I keep on getting the message "registering iTunes automation server". The installation process stops there and then. Repeated removals of the installation including the Temp folder and reinstalling iTunes doesn't help. Even tried an install of QuickTime before the install of iTunes. Again the installation stops at exactly the same point. I do restart the computer every time after the removal of the software. Does anyone have any other suggestions I could follow up? Thanks for the eventual suggestions.

Asuming that you are talking about Adopbe Reader, you can try using this tool to remove all traces of all previous version(s) of Reader:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you may download the offline Reader installer for the version you wish from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

HT2292 I cannot access the iTunes store on my desktop. (brand new) I can access iTunes store on my laptop, so account is fine. When I go to sign in iTunes just says "Accessing iTunes Store" indefinitely. Have totally uninstalled and re-installed twice.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Can't uninstall or re-install Vista drivers (Boot Camp 2.1)

I'm having problems with my MacBook Pro's bluetooth support in Vista under Boot Camp so I thought I'd try to re-install the Boot Camp 2.1 drivers. However, whenever I run the setup program, it just gives me a useless error message saying it encountered an error before it could start the install, and to please try again later. Rebooting doesn't help.
So I thought maybe I could uninstall all the Apple stuff then start again. But when I try to uninstall "Boot Camp services" from the programs and features control panel, it starts to uninstall, but then gives up silently as it nears the completion of the "gathering information" dialog.
So I can't uninstall or re-install this thing. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

It may be too late, but have you tried going into the drivers using Vista's control panel and either removing the drivers or reverting to precious drivers?

Itunes doesn't work, can't uninstall, or reinstall, or sync OR ANYTHING!!

I have been battling this problem for MONTHS and as hard as I try to find information or support, NOTHING CAN FIX THIS. I just want to be able to sync things to my ipod AND ACTUALLY USE IT AGAIN. When I go to file sync, it's grey, and I can't select it. Auto sync is also disabled for some reason, and CAN'T be reinabled. PLEASE HELP ME. I've tried to reinstall, but that doesn't work because it can't locate 'itunes.msi'. So I cant uninstall, reinstall, install, or update! GRAAAA!! Somebody help me please!!!!!!

I've tried to reinstall, but that doesn't work because it can't locate 'itunes.msi'.
let's start with that one.
let's 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?
now try changing your ipod settings again. do they work properly now?
if not, do you get an error message when you try to change the settings? if so, what do they say?

ITunes 7.6.2 - can't uninstall

I've got problems with unistalling\upgrading iTunes. When I try to uninstall iTunes it always starts reverting back on the same step. When I try to upgrade iTunes to version 7.7 it tells me "Installer had problems configuring your files".
Is there any utility to unistall iTunes clearly, so I could do clean install?

Use Search.
That will give show you the step by step instructions for uninstalling balky versions of iTunes using : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
Be careful with it and back up you music before you start.

Upgraded to CS5, can we uninstall CS4?

Hello, just installed CS5 upgrade and assumed it would replace CS4 on our system. It appears to have installed as a completely new program and left the original CS4 installation in place.
Q. Can we uninstall the CS4 version to reclaim some HDD space? CS5 seems to be working fine?
The screen shot belows shows the programs listed on the 'start' menu.
edit: We received the upgrade disk from Adobe as we had purchased CS4 after CS5 was announced for release. Both program disks have different serial numbers.

Update for others who may read this....
There is one "ill-effect" that we have since discovered which relates to LR3.
We installed LR3 after CS5 and later removed the previous installation of CS4. This action removes a key in the registry which makes the "Edit in Photoshop" option greyed out on the menu bar.
The solution was eventually found here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401629.html
We chose to have a go at the registry edit, but apparently re-installing CS5 will replace the key also, (this option may be tedious for those who have installed lots of plug-ins?).

Error 42408 with iTunes 10.3 and can't Uninstall?

I can't buy music, play purchased downloads or authorise my computer. I have tried all of the methods posted here, such ejecting and reconnecting iPod, replacing the shortcut, rebooting my laptop, closing and reopening itunes, logging in and out again of my itunes account, removing SC info folder and the .plist files/version without extension and I am at my wits end with this.
The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling because I can't uninstall iTunes and the change/repair options in add/remove hardware don't work either. I left it for hours trying to uninstall and it stuck on "preparing to remove."
I have Windows Vista 32 bit and am in the administrators account, if that is any help.

pfhannan:
Thought i had too much stuff in it,
On the contrary, the stuff that is on it gives the history of the issues with which you are dealing, and makes it easy for responders to make suggestions. Be sure you provide information requested by responders, so that their suggestions will be pertinent. I will take a look at the thread again and see if I have any suggestions to offer.
Good luck.

PSE 13 installation freezes, can't uninstall

I've been trying to install the downloaded trial for several days. For the first 4 or 5 times the computer would crash as soon as it got to about 18%. Now it's not crashing, but it is freezing (I let it run for about 24 hours) and I can't uninstall without it crashing or freezing. The uninstall stops at 2%, and the only way to use my computer is to restart it completely.
I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit, have lots of disk space and memory, turned off my virus protection and firewall, and have been trying to install as an administrator. At this point I would just like to get the program off my computer. I've wasted the better part of two days trying to get it to install.
Any ideas? TIA -

Yes, I Presenter 7 was installed before Presenter 8. I have Windows 7.
I found my old thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5080369
I followed that. Here is what I have done:
I ran the reg file from http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2012/08/resolution-adobe-presenter-8-installer-issue.html
I deleted all the folders and files related to Presenter 7 or 8 in
C Drive> Users > Your User Name>App Data > Local > Adobe >
and App Data > Roaming > Adobe >
I reinstalled everything.
So far so good.

Can't uninstall or re-install 6u21 - any ideas?

Installed 6u21, removed 6u19(shouldn't have), and rebooted. install of 6u21 was not completed correctly - tried to uninstall via Windows uninstall - wouldn't uninstall. tried command line level msiexec /x {product code} (took a long time to find out how) - looks like runs fine, log says uninstall failed error status: 1603. In the interim the 6u21 filesystem was corrupted(or I deleted in my frustration ;-). I now have no jre, can't install any version of jre (tried again 6u19, 6u21, 6u23ea) and can't uninstall 6u21, which still shows up in my Windows Programs and Features list as uninstallable and having 97Mb(even 'though the files were deleted), and when I click on it it looks like it uninstalls, but doesn't - it stays in the list). I've gone through regedit and cleaned all references to java, javasoft, CLSID#, GUID#, same behavior.....any clues or help out there?

Since no one has any ideas, here is mine:
It may be worthwhile to backup all your stuff off the computer and reinstall the operating system from scratch. It depends on how long you think it will take to reinstall the operating sytem and any vendor software you need to also reinstall. It might be faster than spending who knows how many hours trying to resolve it directly.

How can I uninstall JVM completely?

I would like to uninstall JVM completely for testing an application. So I've removed the JDK (j2sdk1.4.1_03) in the add/remove programs.
How can I check the JVM does not exist in the computer? I've done steps 1 & 2 to check it. Is that enough?
1. In control Panel, I could not find the Java Plug-in Icon.
2. In IE->Tools->Internet Options->Advanced, I cannot find the Sun Java option.
Does it mean that I completely removed JVM?
