Older version of itunes can not be removed

I am trying to update to the 10.5 itunes, and i get an error message saying the older version can not be removed.  Any suggestions?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • When updating to  itune 10.5 I get this error message ,older version of bonjour can not be removed, and older version of apple mobile support cannot be removed, any one know how to fix this.

    When updating to  itune 10.5 I get this error message ,older version of bonjour can not be removed, and older version of apple mobile support cannot be removed, any one know how to fix this.

    1) The older version of Bonjour can not be removed. Contact your technical support group.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • The older version of Bonjour can not be removed

    When installing Itunes, the following error messages appear:
    1) The older version of Bonjour can not be removed. Contact your technical support group.
    2) Itunes installation has been interrupted, please try again later (or something similar).
    As a home user, I have no technical support group so I am turning to you, discussion followers, for assistance. I removed Quicktime, Itunes, Bonjour, and all other apple software according to the removing and reinstalling Itunes article. I used CCleaner to remove traces of the programs in the registry. When reinstalling, Quicktime installs successfully, but Itunes installation stops with the error messages above. I have deleted the temp folder, updated windows, used selected startup before installing, and all attempts end the same way. I'm not sure why I am getting this error, when Bonjour is not on my system to begin with. I appreciate any advice you can offer.

  • Older version of quicktime can not be removed....what do I need to do?

    I have a dell, with windows xp. I had to install new hard drive, but I guess remnants of the old quicktime are still lurking, and it won't let me uninstall and reinstall. What do I need to do?

    I have a Windows Vista and whenever I try and download the new itunes, I get an error message (Error code 2330). I managed to delete itunes, but it's Quick Time that's causing the most problems--something about file sv.lproj being corrupted. Do you know what that means and how to fix it?
    The 2330 is usually related to damaged program files interrupting the install of the new version. (The installer goes to remove the existing program files before putting in the new ones, hits the damage, and then everything turns to custard.)
    The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive or whichever drive you've got your QuickTime program files installed on. Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
    If not, let us know the precise location of the sv.lroj file or folder that is being mentioned in the error message. (There's a whole bunch of different ones in the QuickTime program files.)

  • HT1925 hi, I try to do this and as install happens a message appears stating an older version of Bonjour can not be removed. I tried to delete all files manually, i have even tried Fully restoring my computer but no luck. Can anyone PLEASE HELP ME?

  • "The older version of itunes could not be removed"

    This is the error message I receive. I've already tried going to start->control panel->add/remove programs. Same error message. However, it removed enough of the old itunes that I cannot run either the new version OR the old version.

    okay. 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.

    next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:

    now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
