Quicktime 7 will not install fully on my windows 7 64 home premium keeps stoping with an error while trying to create directory

I have a Laptop with Windows 7 64 Home premium, I have tried a few times to install Quicktime 7 on my laptop. But keeps stopping with an error saying "An error occured while attemping to create the directory: C:\windows\Installer\{F5266D28-E0B2-4130-BFC5-EE1-55AD514DC}
Windows is fully up todate, I have no virus or anything harmful on my computer. After clicking retry the error keeps popping up. I then click on cancel and delete the downloaded quicktime installer. I shut down my computer and try again. Same error with not luck. Any help?

Just in case, let's check for disk/file damage.
The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). 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?

Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. Well you must have been doing it right, since all of your Flash files for IE and FF are correct.
The SWF plugin for FF and the SWO for IE are also correct.
You shouldn't be having any problems with Flash Player.
What you can try is to turn off the hardware acceleration feature. Go to any video, like youtube and right click on the video and click on Settings. Display Settings is where you will UN check hardware acceleration.
See if that helps. Let me know.
Thanks,

I cannot install itunes because of an error while trying to create directory H:\Program Files why is this happening

I get this message when trying to install itunes, I have tried just about everything but nothing works. I have wiped ALL traces of itunes and started again...no luck...iI tried a 32bit instead of a 64 which is what my pc is rated for...no luck...it was all due to the latest version being released so I tried to upgrade but nothing works. Not even rolling back to a previous version is working.
Any ideas????

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.

Quicktime will not install on my PC - also stopping iTunes from working

Quicktime and iTunes will not install on my Vista SP 1 PC, Whenever I try to install either I get the following error message;
Quicktime - "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."
iTunes - "The installation of Quicktime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires Quicktime."
From my iTunes error message I hope that by correcting the Quicktime error the iTunes should in turn be fixed.
I am using the latest installers for each and I can't understand why this is happening,
I have tried completely removing my old version of Quicktime and tried to copy my other PC's Quicktime folder into this one however that has not worked. I have also tried using the latest installers multiple times however I always get the same error message.
Please help me fix this error where Quicktime can't install,
Thanks
James

Says windows install package does not operate yet I can install other programs.
What's the precise text of the message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

Latest update will not install despite repeated attempts. There is no problem with the internet connection otherwise.

Latest update of Firefox will not install despite repeated efforts. Internet connection is otherwise fine.

windows installer has stopped working
a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?

Itunes and quicktime will NOT install

I have been trying to re-install itunes and now quicktime onto my computer.
I get 3 messages. 1st one says that the install cannot find a file that does not seem to exist on my system. I tried find the file through its directory, cant find it!! It is a long directory with lots of numeric, very little alpha characters.
Next message is "error 1714" The older version of itunes cannot be removed. Contact tech support.
Next message "error 1603" Fatal error during installation. consult window installer help (msi.chm) or MSDN for more info.
I have looked for help on many posts and apple's site. I have tried to manually remove quicktime and itunes and it will not remove the old versions????
Someone please help me!!!!

QuickTime Will Not Install

I downloaded QuickTime 7.5.5 from Apple.com and I tried to install the program. I got through all the installation windows except for the last one. The status bar that shows how much of the program has installed and how much longer the installation process should take stops at 86% and 85%. The time remaining maintains a "less than a minute" notification but, it never finishes. I let the installation try to continue for roughly 20 minutes but, no luck. I will probably call for support on this problem, but I didn't know if anyone else ran into this problem, or if anyone knows how to fix this. I don't use QuickTime all that much, but I do use iTunes a lot and it appears that the newest version of iTunes (8.0) will not open without the latest QuickTime.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Hi QandAknowit(noquite)all and welcome to the forums!
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:

An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Quicktime will not install - no errors or notices

Hi,
I am trying to install iTunes + Quicktime off of the cd I received with my iPod 5G. I am using Windows XP. It allows me to install the ipod for windows software, then itunes, but when it tries to install Quicktime, the progress bar will continuously loop, i.e. it will make it to 100%, then go back down to 0% and start all over again. It does not give me any errors. I formerly had a 1608 error, but I solved that by typing ("C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver\8\Intel 32\IDriver.exe" -Embedding) into the "Run" dialog box in the start menu. I have tried installing an older version of quicktime (Version 6), which worked, but the installer would still try to install over it, leading to the loop problem.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

I am having the same problem as you. I tried to install itunes 6.0 on my windows 2000 machine with sp4. It goes through part of the installshield wizard setup and then the install window minimizes and after that nothing happens. There are no error messages either. I have tried the following...
1) Install itunes from my new Ipod CD.
2) Install itunes from a download from apple website.
3) Install itunes 5.0 which didnt work either and gave me the same error
4) Install an older version (4.9) of itunes which worked but is not compatible with my new IPOD
I have the latest updates for my windows. PLEASE HELP

Driver for Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-one will not install after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Upgraded to Windows 8.1 on Pavilion g6. Officejet 4500 Wireless all-in-one still prints but won't scan. Downloaded full feature driver. Installation quit giving error message 'file cannot be found'. Tried 'chat' sessions with no resolution
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello bob5e,
I am sorry to hear that you are unable to install successfully on your Windows 8.1 with your Officejet 4500 Wireless. I can see that the installation quits on you, giving you an error message. I am going to recommend trying a couple of things to hopefully make the installation successful.
1. First of all, try installing by using The Printer Install Wizard for Windows which finds the correct driver for your unit and installs it.
2. If that does not work, please try this next troubleshooting document step by step.

I hope this helps!

ITunes will not install completely due to Windows Logo Test!

+"The software you are installing for this hardware:+
iTunes
+has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP (Tell me why this testing is important.)+
+This hardware will not be installed. Contact your system administrator."+
It has been doing this for a few weeks now, and it's only when it tries to install the drivers to my CD/DVD drive. There isn't even a bypass for it provided. I have switched it to ignore the logo test and still it brings the message up every time.
Also, because of it, I get the annoying message every time I start iTunes:
+"Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."+
I've gone through all the motions of uninstalling it and reinstalling it several times. It hasn't helped at all. Please help! I just want this behind me!
I forgot to mention before that I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a possible answer to this question with no luck, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I've been having the similar problems too. For some reason, I can uninstall iTunes, but when I try to uninstall Apple Application Support and Apple Mobile Device Support, I get the "Could not open key: UNKNOWN/COMPONENTS/etc./ Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall. Error 7. Windows error 127." error message. I'm on an admin account on Windows 7 and I've tried setting universal permissions through Regedit for the specific keys in question, but nothing works. I'm also missing the dll files required to run iTunes and its associated programs.
Please help, this is getting really frustrating!

BT Desktop Help will not install on 64-bit Windows...

I had BT Infinity installed yesterday. I cannot get BT Desktop Help to install properly on my system; Windows 7 64-bit. It seems to install but when it runs I get a message that the software is out of date, but it will not download a newer version. I have installed the latest version from the web.
Here is the message:
BT Desktop Help Install
We have detected that the latest version of BT Desktop Help is not currently installed on your computer, to install it now follow the steps below :
Step 1
Click here to download and install the BT Desktop Help
Clicking on the download link does nothing.
Software has installed and runs on my other system which is Windows 7 32-bit. The only difference I can see is that the one with the problem is 64-bit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you are trying to install the BT cd then to recommendation of the forum is not to bother as it can cause problems with wifi connection. you can select specific parts if there is something you especially want

Windows\system32\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime

Hope that works out.
