ITunes will not complete installing!

I have had probelms installing iTunes for apx 2 years. (when version 6 was released).
So I thought I would try to install version 7.
I installed QuickTime v7.1 with not problems, however when I try to execute the "iTunesSetup.exe" it seem to reach the end of the install process and then I get a message stating that "The older version of iTunes cannot be unistalled".
I have gone thru all of the posts on this discussion and tried every trick mentioned when the 1603 error has occurred with other people. Yet it still will not complete the installation process.
I found the "iTunesSetupxxx.log" and displayed it to see what is occurring and it still has the 1603 error as being the last error. I have included the last part of that log below:
fdintCOPY_FILE
file name in cabinet = QuickTime.msi
uncompressed file size = 24522752
fdintCLOSEFILEINFO
file name in cabinet = QuickTime.msi
fdintCOPY_FILE
file name in cabinet = AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
uncompressed file size = 2078720
fdintCLOSEFILEINFO
file name in cabinet = AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
fdintCOPY_FILE
file name in cabinet = iTunesSetupAdmin.exe
uncompressed file size = 108096
fdintCLOSEFILEINFO
file name in cabinet = iTunesSetupAdmin.exe
Executing: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe" /i "C:\DOCUME~1\JOE~1.CHA\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP508.TMP\iTunes.msi"
Returned: 1603
I have looked for the folder mentioned in the executing line and cannot locate it.
Anyone have any ideas that are outside of the normal posts listed in this forum?
I have deleted everything that is remotely related to iTunes, iPod, QuickTime, and even Apple from the registry after backing the registry up of course.
Yet I have not found a way to get around that 1603 error.
Help!

I have investigated a little further on my initial point where I could no longer run iTunes. The last functioning version that I had installed was version 4.8. When I tried to upgrade to version 5, it gave me an error that some of the install files were corrupted and then it froze up. The only way it could be ended was by using task manager. From that point on I have had nothing but trouble. I tried to reinstall version 4.8 but I got an error on that as well. So ever since this occurred I have been trying the newest version just to see if it would accomplish the task of creating a functioning version of iTunes. Each time it will reach a certain point and give an error message about the older version could not be removed.
So that is my history on this issue.
Anyone out there have any ideas as to what I can do to at least get a version that will work installed?
Even it is the same steps that have been given before, at least I will know someone is actually listening to me and not igoring me like the apple support does.
TIA!

  • Itunes will not completely install because it is looking for a file

    Have you in fact backed this iPad up to this computer? If not, there is no backup there to restore.

  • Adobe Acrobat package built with CCP will not completely install

    Adobe Acrobat package built with CCP will not completely install.  It starts out fine as if it is installing then suddenly disappears with no errors.   I am installing it under the local administrator account and simply double clicking on the setup.exe created in the build folder.  Am I missing something??

    Hi rivera2u & TRU Software,
    I believe you are just double clicking on the Exception Deployer and not running the same from the command prompt . Mentioned below is the syntax that we need to use while using Exception Deployer on your machine(s).
    ExceptionDeployer  
        --workflow=install

    The same is mentioned in the link shared by Abhijit earlier.

  • I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

    I am trying to install the latest update for HP Printers, it will not completely install ,now my printers won't work. Help!

    Hello Carolyn -  Thank you for your quick response to my concerns, I had already gone to the HP support site and tried to get the latest HP drivers, the site said for Lion 10.7 there was NA version.  So, I just used my time machine to replaced the OS from that time spot. I got my printers working again, so all right with the printer.  But, the fact remains that I still keep getting the New Update HP Printer in the software update window.  But, what happens if I try to download and install it is this:  It starts the download, everything seems to come down fine, it starts write the files and then starts moving items into place, the blue bar fills to all most the end and slows down to a stop and never completes the installation.  I have left my laptop on over night and it never finishes the operation.  I can only force quit the software update.  Which has knock out my printer drivers.  Now, I just keep unchecking the box in the software updates for new HP printer software. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just my system?  Sincerely: Professor G

  • IOS 8.1.1 will not complete install on iPad 2....

    Doing via USB connection to iMac it goes through all the verification and installation processes but will not complete and keeps returning to message stating update 8.1.1 is available and do I want to intsall it. It has repeated itself 4 times now.
    iMac is on 10.10.1 and iTunes latest version.
    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks for the help, Demo
    I did all that you said except rebooting the Mac (I wanted to first discover where the issue was happening) and that solved it.
    On USB reconnecting the iPad to the Mac, iTunes launched and reported that it was running iOS 8.1.1. Therefore all that was needed was to reboot the iPad after the installation process. However, Apple's installation process did not instruct that and so I feel it is at fault - It should message the updated status of the iOS rather than leave the user in a loop as it did with me.

  • Any Software will Not Complete Install

    Ha, I been trying to solve an issue with my G4 (two door mirror model). Any software from iLfe 6, Final Cut Express, MS Word or Final Cut Pro will not complete the installment. I keep getting errors that the installation could not complete please try again. I trouble shoot the CD drive making sure there is not an issue with it, and the hardrive too. I did a clean reinstall of Tiger No problem - SO I know the hardrive is fine. I played CDs music so no problem from CD drive. I use the same Software CDs to install on my Powerbook G4 and no problem, so I know there is nothing wrong with the CDs. Does anyone know or may think what can be cause my Desktop G4 from failing to install any programs other then the OS.
    AT this point, I have a G4 sitting with just the OS and no application - and it driving me crazy I can't do anything with it.
    Thanks for any help.

    Dale, It is the retail version purchased day after it came out. Just a thought, when a PC has problems we can reset the bios back to factory state - can this been done to an apple system such as my G4? The reason why i'm installing back my software is because I had to reinstall the OS do to too many shareware apps I downloaded and could not trash for the life of me - many of the shareware apps was too buggy and could not get rid of them. So, I do not understand my I'm having this issue - OS can install but no other software will.

  • Lion 10.7.5 Recovery install loops and will not complete install.

    Hi on my Mid 2009 Macbook Pro with 8GB Ram it seems that a virus got into the system and was causing Safari to crash then affected iTunes, MS Word 2008, and others to malfunction.
    Steps taken:
    1.  Started in recovery mode on Recovery Partiion selected and recovered from TimeMachine backup
    2. On start up checked Software update and said All Up to Date.
    3. Safari still quiting unexpectedly.
    4. Started in recovery mode on Recovery Partiion selected and Installed new OS X Lion from recovery. This would not complete after 2 attempts was starting to loop. It will show the blue bar that it has 2 hrs 22 min, 1 hr 11 min, 34 min 32 ...etc then after 2 min it will then say -1,384,587,231 hours to complete, then go back to about 34 min. the blue bar is filled 100% at this point.  Then it will do it all over and over again.
    I restarted and things appeared to be working okay.  I left the computer on with one web page and a Word file open while I did work on another computer.  It started a new Time Machine backup and seemed to be doing fine.  Then I heard it restart itself!  I checked to see what would happen.  It showed the grey progress bar below the apple logo like it is starting in Safe Mode, then the progress bar disappeared before completing and it just shows the spining icon for over an hour?  It appeared to be screwed.  I shut the computer off and same result to restart.
    5. Started in recovery mode on Recovery Disk usb drive selected and erased Hard Drive to Mac OS (Extened Journaled).
         Tested OK after erase.
    6. Ran Recover Lion again, and again and again same result. 
    7. Left running overnight, and still running the loop and not completing.
    8. Reset SMC
    9. Reset PRAM
    10. Erased hard drive again formated Mac OS (Extened Journaled)
    11. Started in recovery mode on Recovery Disk usb drive Installed new OS X Lion from recovery - Same result loops and Never completes
    12. downloaded RecoveryDiskAssistant.dmg and created a new Lion Recovery usb
    13. Erased hard drive again formated Mac OS (Extened Journaled)
    14. Started in recovery mode on Recovery Disk new usb drive Installed new OS X Lion from recovery - Same result loops and Never completes
    That is where I am at at this point. The drive is new (within 2 months or so since installed) and it reformats okay and seems to test okay in Disk Utiliy
    I had also used the Terminal to run diskutil eraseDisk HFS+ MacHD "/Volumes/disk0"
    This did erase the disk and had tried Lion recovery install again and still fails.  I would even try Mountain Lion, but have not upgraded to it yet. I think I need the computer working to purchase and install it.
    I checked the TimeMachine back up disk on my iMac and disk utility says it needs repairs, when repairing it just goes and goes with no result and does not seem to be able to repair.
    So at this point I would like to just get the laptop to install an operating system and work.  Then I will see if there is a way to recover files on the time machine back up disk. 
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I have even reinstalled Safari to no avail.
    The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion is to reinstall OS X using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    You mentioned that you have v10.7.5 installed but I see v10.8.1 in your profile ??
    Exactly which OS X is installed ???
    Troubleshooting suggestions may be based on that information.

  • The latest update for ITunes will not completely update. It tells me to try manually but how do I do that?

    I'm trying to find out why the latest ITunes update will not update completely on my computer. It goes so far and then it stops with an error message saying to try installing it manually. I don't know how to do this. All other updates have been ok. This one is 11.1.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Pages app will not complete install and cannot be deleted.

    Pages app has been trying to install an update for a week.  It does not complete the install and cannot be deleted. I have tried logging in and out of the App Store to no avail. Does anyone know how to force a reinstall of an app, or at least delete it. It is an Apple Brand paid app with no &^%$% tech support.

  • ITunes will not re-install after virus infection in Windows Vista

      Hello there!
      I hope you are having a good day today!
      My name is Austin and I hope you can assist me with a problem I am having re-installing iTunes.
      Laptop: TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5877 SYSTEM UNIT
      Model No.: PSLB0U-07K02D
      Windows Version: Windows Vista Home Premium - Service Pack 2 - 32-bit Operating System
      The laptop belongs to a friend of mine.  He contracted the MS REMOVAL TOOL virus, at which point he brought the machine to me to clean it of this virus   for him.
      Following instructions I found online, I cleaned his machine of the MS REMOVAL TOOL virus.
      Here is a list of software I used and is currently installed on his laptop:
      Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (installed and used to remove the MS REMOVAL TOOL virus)
      AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011 (installed this for virus protection)
      Secunia PSI (installed this to locate and patch programs that are a security risk)
      Advanced SystemCare Free 4 (installed and used this to clean up registry errors and such)
      Here is a list of basic maintenance tasks I performed after removing the virus:
      Ran Disk Cleanup
      Ran Disk Defragmenter
      Emptied the Recycle Bin
      Updated the system drivers
      Ran Checkdisk
      Once I cleaned up his laptop and it was running fine, I gave it back to him.  He proceeded to bring it back to me the next day explaining that iTunes               wouldn't open.  I went to http://www.apple.com/itunes/ and downloaded the latest version of iTunes and proceeded to run the installer.
      I have tried several times to get the installer to run, but all I get is this error message each time:
      The older version of iTunes cannot be removed  Contact your technical support group
      After several failed attempts to get the installer to run, I went online for help.  I found this article on apple.com which addressed my exact problem:
      http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
      Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
      I have followed these instructions EXACTLY no less than 4 separate times and continue to get the same  error message.
      I have done manual file searches in DOS using the /s switch and by using Windows Search for anything related to:
      Apple
      Quicktime
      iTunes
      Bonjour
      Apple Software Update
      Apple Mobile Device Support
      Apple Application Support
      and made sure either they were copied to my Seagate FreeAgent Go drive or deleted completely.
      I have made sure that the iPodService.exe service was NOT running.
      I have run a disk defragmenter after every time I followed those steps listed above but to no avail.
      I have disabled the AVG Free Anti-Virus protection and that did not make a difference either.
      I have used the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, but iTunes does not appear in the list of programs to uninstall.
      The installer does the same thing every time.  It seems to run fine and appears to get close to the end of the installation of iTunes, then quits suddenly and   posts that error message you see above.  I am at a loss for what to do next.
      I just found another article suggesting I empty the Temp folder in Vista which I did clearing it of everything related to Apple and iTunes and tried to re-install   iTunes using the iTunesSetUp.exe installer and got the same error message listed above. HELP!
      Thank you so much for your time, assistance, and great patience in reading this long letter!
      P.S. He needed his computer for the weekend, so I won't be getting it back until next Wednesday.  I'm hoping to round up some suggestions so I can get       right to work on it when I get it back.
      I do hope you can help me.
      Thank you so much,
      Sincerely,
      - Austin

    Hey!
      Glad to hear that you and your family made it through relatively unscathed!  I think we all need to take better care of our wonderful planet, because I think we are upsetting Mother Nature! 
      I have the Windows Installer Clean-Up screen up and tried to upload a screen cap for you, but IE immediately shuts down every time I try.  So I'll have to transcribe the screen for you:
      I see the following:
    (All Users)
    (All Users) [1.2.0.10]
      Those are the top two lines.  The following lines after that are programs he has installed on the machine like Acrobat, Adobe, Autodesk Inventor, and such and they all have a name and program number in brackets.
      And I now again have the obligatory Apple programs installed and listed again:
    (All Users) Apple Application Support [1.5.1]
    (All Users) Apple Mobile Device Support [3.4.0.25]
    (All Users) Apple Software Update [2.1.2.120]
    (All Users) Bonjour [2.0.5.0]
      Please note that iTunes is NOT LISTED.
      Everything else 'appears' to be normal, I'd say.
    Take care, and I'll see you on the flipside!  According to my clock, it's 4:11am Thursday morning there!
    See ya!

  • I tried to download the newest version for iTunes and now it is saying something about Apple Mobile Device. And now my iTunes will not complete the new download because of this. What does this mean???

    I tried to download the newest version for iTunes and now it is saying something about apple mobile device. Never heard of this before and now it will not finish downloading because of this. What is it?? What do i need to do to get itunes to download onto my computer again??

    I got most of it done but now it is not letting me delete my C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    It says that file is open in another program....What do i need to do to delete that?
    Do you currently have the iCloud control panel installed? If so, uninstall that. Can you do the deletion now?

  • Apps will not complete install/download

    Recently, the little blue progress bar (like for the intial install or update) appeared in the icon for a Chess app that had been downloaded for many months.  But I did not receive an update notice and had not accepted an update for that app.  The progress bar would not go away, and the app could not be accessed.  The bar would remain blank with the word Waiting for some time, then suddenly it would change to Installing and the blue bar would quickly go about half way across the icon, then it would go back to blank and say Waiting again, then after about 2 minutes a screen pop would come up saying the app was unable to download (cancel or retry).  I tried this several times, but it will not download.
    I deleted the app, went to the App Store and tried to re-install/download, but no success.
    Now a Vanguard (Financial) app has done the same thing.
    I powered my IPad 2 off, recycled my intenet connection, and looked for a software update on the IPad but it's up to date at this time.
    I went to the App Store and tried to download a new app, and I specifically chose one that was not free (to check my login/billing), and it will not download the new app either.  I was charged for the app, and received an email from ITunes confirming purchase and billing of the new app, but it has not installed on my machine.
    The odd thing is the Vanguard app was also installed on the wife's IPhone 4 (under a different Apple ID, but her Apple ID is also on the IPad for email purposes), and it doesn't work on her IPhone either (we had to delete it there too).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • XP Home will not complete install

    Finally completed install of all components, but OS will not boot from HD.
    After trying multiple installs / boot sequence changes and re-formats of the HD, I cannot get the OS to complete the install process.  After giving me the directions that the system will restart...I receive a Boot Failure, please insert disk in A: after the system has restarted.  I've tried moving HD IDE cable to Primary, Secondary and even installed a SATA adapter but I still get the error message.  Drive spins and is recognized by BIOS.  Reinstalls recognize that there is a Windows directory, but the OS will not boot.
    Any help guys is truly appreciated

    Tried various boot sequences but still no luck.  This is extremely frustrating since everything is rev'd up and ready to go...but the OS won't boot.
    It appears that everything gets loaded to the HD but the HD will not "boot".  This will happen if I make the HD the 1st, 2nd or 3rd boot device in the sequence.  
    I've seen some chatter about Corsair XMS and K8T Neo incompatability cretaing boot problems.  How about the BIOS version...any suggestions or ideas?
    Kinda stumped here and don't want an expensive paperweight

  • ITunes will not Complete Loading 80GB IPod

    ITunes has 6619 items (music) IPod gets to 6617 items and seems to "cycle" at that point and not complete loading the other two items. Based on ITunes data these two missing items amount to 0MB; and, I cannot find what they are. Because the IPod does not "complete" the transfer of the music files, it does not go on to transfer the photos or contact files. While on ITunes, checking the progress (goes for hours "cycling") I get an error message "Windows No Disk", "exception processing message c00000b parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c". I do not know for sure what is generating this error message (it comes up while checking the status of the photo file synch). The proper location of the photo files has been accurately identified for synching
    How do I synch the ITunes/IPod libraries completely
    Or, how do I have the IPod ignore the "missing two files" so that it can go on to complete transfer of photos and contact files?
    If I could sort the IPod music library by size (or some other criteria) I might be able to identify those two missing files in the ITunes music library; but I am unable to do any sorting in that regard while the IPod is connected to the computer (and it is not possible to sort that way from the IPod seperate from the computer). As it stands right now, the IPod will never complete synching procedure (even if I "tell" ITunes to ignore synching of photo and contact files)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Sincerely Jim

    *Check iPod hard-drive for errors*
    Hold Menu+Select on the iPod for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Open iTunes and in the Sync tab of the preferences menu check *Disable automatic syncing of all iPhones & iPods*. Now connect your iPod to the computer, wait until it connects, then close iTunes. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors* (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of a successfully adding data. You should probably check the hard drive with the source data as well.
    I'm not sure if the iPod transfers in alphabetical sequence or in order of entry into the library. If you sort the library in a number of ways, such as Date Added or Album by Artist and see if the items at either end have made it onto the iPod you might get a clue as to which items aren't being synced.
