TS3212 Installation package could not be opened. error message. Windows 7 64 bit

iTunes failed to run after using it successfully for over a year on this laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. Numerous attempts to download after uninstalling iTunes results in the error message below. Unable to install Safari as well, same error message.
Receiving the following message:
"This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you have access to it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package."

Nope, that's not it. I've got the same issue, or close to it. The update downloads, a message box opens stating that the file has an invalid signature, and the installer file is deleted. 10.6.3 has attempted to update numerous times, all with the same result. Update is up-to-date, downloading the file always produces the same result and every so often iTunes update comes up to repeat this process. With the volume of posts regarding this issue, why is it that the assumption is always to 'reinstall (repair) the software.' Why doesn't anyone take a look at whether something's broken with the upgrade? Too much trouble? You should try attempting to repair installs once a week or so, now _that's_ a hassle.

  • This installation package could not be opened. error

    Ok, so i just bought a new hard disk with better memory, speed etc, and i installed windows vista 64 bit version on it. i had a 32 bit version on another hard disk but the hard disk is so bad i cant acces it anymore. So i download java and then when its installing it says this: "This installation package could not be opened. Verify the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer package."
    I have tryed ALOT of sulotions, downloading offline version, disaling firewall, auto protect norton, UAC, downloading other wersions of java but nothing works!!!! im getting tired of these error messages and i need a proper solution now!

    So i download java and then when its installing it saysThis is kind of an obvious suggestion, but are you sure you downloaded the correct 64bit version for Windows? Check if you need the x86_64 version or the IA 64 bit version.

  • New itunes install error - Installation package could not be opened. Verify

    I Just bought a brand new computer last night. I am trying to install Itunes and get the following error. "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists ad that you can access it, or contacnt the applicaiton vendor to verify that this is avalid windows installer package"
    I am running windows 7 64 bit home premium. I have verified that i have downloaded the correct itunes version itunes64setup.exe
    So far i have tried
    -downloading and installing all microsoft updates
    -disabled all anti virus and firewall software,
    -rebooting and re-downloading
    -tried installing quicktime first. (gives me the same error)
    -stopping and restarting windows installer
    -deleted all items from the temp folder
    -tried running itunes64setup.exe as admin and also in compatibility mode
    -verified i have downloaded itunes64setup.exe with IE 64 bit
    I am at a loss. I can not find any real solution for this problem. I am now 5 hours into trying to find an answer. This is a brand new computer and I have installed no other programs on it than what came out of the box.
    Any help would be greatly appriciated!!

    Well if anyone else runs into this problem, this is how i got it fixed.
    I did a complete system restore to the origional factory default on the computer. I would not have thought that this would have been needed as it was brand new out of the box with nothing downloaded/changed on it.
    However it worked. The only thing I can thing of, is that on the origional factory install of the software there may have been a corrupt or missing file that when I did a new install corected itself.
    If you have the origional windows disk that came with the computer I would use that to completely reinstall windows. If you are like me and they didnt provide you a disk, I made a complete backup of the system to disk and made a recovery disk just to be safe before restoring the system.
    Hopefully this is helpfull to someone.

    Does anyone know, how to fix  ' This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the applikcation vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." ?

    At what point in the process are you getting this message? Have you tried downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes setup file from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ?
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Hey there Frank0619,
    If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
    Issues installing iTunes for Windows
    These in particular: 
    Make sure you have an administrator account.
    To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
    To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
    Download the latest version of iTunes.
    The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
    Disable conflicting software.
    Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig: 
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
    Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
    Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
    Restart your computer.
    Install iTunes.
