Microsoft Installer Confusing Message

Hi Folks,
If someone tries to install a program that is already installed, he is presented with a message telling him to uninstall the previous version from Add/Remove programs in control panel.
There is no "ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS" in control panel for Vista,Windows 7 or Windows 8!
Can we please have it re-worded for these operating systems.
If this is not the right place to report problems with MSI please pass it on to right people.

Hi,
As we know, we can uninstall a program from Programs and Features in control panel. But, you can search "add or remove programs" from control panel.

I have been receiving this error trying to install SQL Server 2012. Initially I already had SQL Server 2012 on my machine and attempted to install BIDS 2008. My IT guy stated that there was a conflict in the installation and suggested that I uninstall SQL
Server 2012 and then attempt to install 2008 BIDs again. Fail. I got a similar error as I pasted below. Giving up on having 2008 BIDS I've been trying to reinstall 2012 SQL Server but am getting this message below.

Any help? Anyone else run into this error? What should I do?

Hi Gurmo,
HRESULT: 0x80073712 means ERROR_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT, and it is one of the error codes listed at this
KB article.
I suggest you run the System Update Readiness tool and check if the error still persists.
There is a similar thread for your reference.

I purchased the Iphone 4s yesterday. Every time I try to download newest version of Itunes I get a windows installer error message. I went to microsoft and downloaded all I could please help

Another Vista Victory!!! Try uninstalling iTunes, then download and install it again. Make sure Vista is up to date.

I loaded the new version of Mozilla, now I get microsoft defender error messages and then i can no longer connect but explorer still connects. How do I fix it?

i loaded the newest version of Mozilla, i have windows vista. I began receiving microsoft defender error messages and now i can only connect the internet through explorer. i love using mozilla. what can i do to fix the problem?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

ITunes installation error message pix attached

error message when installing the latest version of iTunes:
http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8091/87870644ay1.jpg

This error usually responds to an installer cleanup.
Here is a method for full removal of iTunes and 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 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
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.

Windows Installer Error Message.

Hello, I am trying to fix my iTunes/QuickTime, which seems to be broken for some reason. I am trying to uninstall it and reinstall it but I get the following error message.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below."
I have found a bunch of different QuickTime.msi files and been selecting it on the error message (you know how it says browse for file and select QuickTime.msi..) but it shows the following messages.
"The file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Nick\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update' is not a valid installation package for the product QuickTime. Try to find a installation pacage 'QuickTime.msi' in a folder from which you can install QuickTime."
(Depending on which QuickTime.msi file I choose, they are all in different locations, I don't really know why..)
Anyways, if anybody has any ideas on how to resolve this it would be much appreciated. Thanks very much!

When you get messages about msi files you usually need to do an installer clean up.
Here is a method for removal of iTunes, Quicktime etc followed by clean up and install.
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/
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.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
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.

Why do i get a "codec installation required" message?

Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files? Im using QT7 on a mac, v10.6.7?, Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files? Im using QT7 on a mac, v10.6.7?

Why do i get a "codec installation required" message when trying to play avi files?
Probably because you do not have an audio and/or video codec used for compressing/decompressing data in the AVI file. AVI, like MOV, are just file containers capable of holding many different kinds of data. The originator of the AVI file (Microsoft) dropped its official support of this file type more than a decade ago but its popularity with Windows users lingers on. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, the compression formats commonly used in the AVI file container may or may not still be in use. Some were never transcoded for use on the Mac platform. Others are so old that they have never been updated for use under OS X. Of thise transcoded for OS X use, some have not been updated for Intel based platforms. Thus, while QT supports the container itself, it does not natively support the third-party and/or proprietary codecs used, many of which, are now classed as "legacy" codecs and are out of date in terms of today's video compression technology.

I am not sure about this particular error number. Looking it up in Windows Installer error messages, it says file in use, restart may be required. But I am not certain that it is a Windows installer error message.
It certainly is worth trying a restart.
I would also clear your temporary Internet files and re-download iTunes.
Also clear your temporary directory as that seems to be where the error occurred.
This article on trouble installing iTunes includes instructions for clearing the temp folder (towards the end of the page) and also other things to try.

I am unable to install iTunes due to Windows Installer error message on Vista

I needed to update my iTunes since I purchased the iPad2. My Windows Vista machine will not allow me to update the program due to a "Windows Installer" error message. I first attempted to update, then I uninstalled and am unable to reinstall the software."There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run..."

I finally got the program to install/run. I downloaded a third copy and saved it again on the desktop. I selected "Run as Administrator" instead of "Run" It must have been the 10th plus time I tried to install, but this time it completed. I don't know if the "Run as Administrator" was the key since it is Vista, or if I just got lucky. Either way I am relieved.

Keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5

keep getting "general installation error" message Mac OSX 10.8.5/Safari 6.0.5 Followed all the instructions for uninstalling and clean installing. Just wont install

Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check BOTH places and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.

Deskjet 6940 - multiple black cartridge 96 installation error messages

I have a new Deskjet 6940. I installed the black 96 cartridge. Printer keeps saying it is not installed correctly. I cleaned the cartridge, ran the jet/bubble test. Finally I replaced the cartridge, same installation error message. I do not get the error message for the color 97 cartridge. Is this problem common to the 6940? Not sure what my options are. Thanks

have the same problem. We installed cartiridge and did a test page by holding power and cancel buttons at same time. Nothing is showing up for the black cartridge. Maybe cleaning something would help, but I can't find any information on how to access the information using Vista.
