Playing TV programs requiring Mime in Safari
I am trying to play a TV program from the Channel 4 website and the website says that I need have a plug-in. The exact text says:
Safari can’t find the Internet plug-in.
The page “Catch Up” has content of MIME type “application/x-ms-wmp”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
Any suggestions?
I think that the WMV mime requirement is encoded into the website, so therefore I cannot solve unless I install VMware type Windows on the Mac, which I really would rather not do. I note also some interesting comments under http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8649702� relating to downloading other programs, but these do not show, from what I can tell, previous recordings and only show live shows. I may be wrong.

A program required for this install to complete could not be run???
I just got a new computer with windows 7. Whenever I try to install itunes, I get an error message saying "There is a problem with the windows installer package, a program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I tried to install other apple software, quicktime and safari, and I get the same error message. I extracted the itunes64setup file and can install the itunes file (which is just a shortcut, not the actual program) Bonjour, Apple Application support, quicktime, and Apple Mobile Device Support. I cannot install quicktime via http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ however.
I get the same error message when I try to install Apple Software Update through the extracted folder. Ive googled around and found people with with the same error have gone to their control pannel and repaired apple software update, which solved the problem. However, I cannot install the apple software update file, so it isnt in my add or remove programs, all the other files are. Not being able to install apple software update is preventing safari and itunes from installing. Any ideas or help would be apprectiated.REPAIR "apple software update" in programs in control panel. Then run the Quick time install package again.

I'm trying to update iTunes to 10.5.2. I have a Windows 7 64-bit Dell laptop, and when I try to update it, I get the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
I went to the troubleshooting page and did all of the steps they listed: uninstalled iTunes, deleted by Temp files, even disabled AVG while I downloaded again and tried to install. I still get the same message. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!You must have gone to the old microsoft post.

I am trying to install itunes 10.5, but during the download I get the following message, "There is a problem with this Window Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personanal or package vendor." If this is my personal computer and was able to upgrade to the previous version (pre 10.5), why not now? What is my "package vendor"? And what is it I need to do to fix this? The message is unclear. Unfortunately, I deleted my itunes program, thinking that in doing so, 10.5 would finally load. Now I have no itunes on my computer and unable to sync my iphone. Help!
Thanks - RickHi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,

when trying to setup itunes on my pc i get the following message: there is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. How could I solve this problem?
Repair your Apple software update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR, -
Not able to access Itunes store anymore. Just quit working for no reason. I've tried deleting Itunes and related components from the Control Panel, but when I try to remove Apple Software Update, I get a message that states "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor". Not sure what this message means. Am I suppose to contact Apple ? What is meant by package vendor ?
Apparently it's an itunes issue. I just tried to update and got the same issue. Called att to activate my iphone 4s and they say they can do the swap but apple is telling them itunes is down atm. So will have to wait

Is there a way to play movies that require flashplayer on a ipad2
is there a way to play movies that require flashplayer on a ipad2
Take a look at the "More Like This" to the right. That question has been asked and answered many times in the past.
Short answer: try alternate browsers like Skyfire or Puffin. -
Is there a way to play streaming wmv on iPad through safari?
Is there a way to play streaming wmv on iPad through safari?
No. WMV is a proprietary Microsoft video container and there is no native support for it in iOS.
There are third-party apps on the AppStore that claim to be able to do this, but not through Safari. -

JustinI have also tried extracting the individual components to the temp file and attempting to install them individually despite being unable to remove the previous install of Apple Software Updater. The outcome, both Apple Software Updater and itunes encountered the same error message during the install process.

when I installed iTunes 10.6 to windows 7, during the process i got this message -" There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run" and after that the setup closed automatically. Plaese tell me if any setting up of windows is in order.
Try looking at the two previous discussions listed on the right side of this page with your same question.
Also, try searching/posting in the iTunes forum since you do not have an iPod problem. -
I am trying to update my iphone 4, but in order to do that I need to update itunes. I am unable to do this, or update quicktime. I get an error message that says
"A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have a dell running windows 7Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time? -

Go to "control panel" then "add or remove programs". Highlight "Apple software update" Choose "change" click "Repair" This should do the trick. Then download and install iTunes 10.5 again.

I tried to install iTunes 10.5 this morning but an error appeared saying "problem with windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run." Can someone please help
Firstly, are you installing iTunes for the first time or are you updating your current version of iTunes?
If you're installing iTunes for the first time have you tried redownloading the installer package? Perhaps the file you downloaded originally is corrupted...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you've tried that, then try installing iTunes as your computer's administrator. To do this right-click the install package and choose "Run as administrator".
If you're updating iTunes to the most recent version try repairing the Apple Software Update program on your computer. It's under the add/remove programs.
1. Open the control panel
2. Open Add/Remove programs (called "Programs and Features" in Windows 7)
3. Navigate to "Apple Software Update" in the list and click on it
4. Click on "Change" then select "Repair" (or just select the repair option in Windows 7)
Once you repair this, try running iTunes and the update again.
Fingers crossed!
