Type folder path  with intellisense

Allow me to type a folder path with autocomplete just like windows explorer.
So, I should be able to go to, say, C:\foo\bar\john\jane directly without having to browse to that folder.
PS: I am aware of the favorites option.

Hi,
There  is a way to transfer the data from one folder to another by customizing the xml using USMT, here I give you an example:
<migration urlid="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/test">
<component type="Documents" context="User">
  <displayName> Drafts Documents to Personal Folder</displayName>
  <role role="Data">
    <rules>
      <!-- Migrate all directories and files present in D:\folder -->
      <include>
        <objectSet>
          <pattern type="File">D:\folder \* [*]</pattern>
        </objectSet>
      </include>
      <!-- This migrates all files and directories from D:\folder to every user’s personal folder.-->
      <locationModify script="MigXmlHelper.RelativeMove('C:\new folder','D:\folder \*')">
        <objectSet>
           <pattern type="File">D:\folder \* [*]</pattern>
        </objectSet>
      </locationModify>
    </rules>
  </role>
</component>
</migration>

  • Charateristic variable with Processing type "replacement path"

    Hi all
    I am using BI 7.0;
    I have a characteristic ZPL_CNT in one dimensions of a Cube;
    now i want to use the value of  the ZPL_CNT as column in Query.
    So i created a formula and a formula variable with replacement path of processing type:
    setting:
    i created a new formula "Calculated MBZ"
    the formula variables is "ZMBZ" and inserted the variables into "Calculated MBZ"
    Reference characteristic: ZPL_CNT
    Processing type : Replacement path
    Replace variable with: Attribute value
    Attribute: characteristic Reference (constant 1)
    But i find the value in Query incorrect
    Can anyone help me solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi Dragon,
    Can you not drag and drop this characteristic directly in the columns...have I misunderstood something?
    I think when you use replacement path in the formula variable , the fromula variable tries to find the reference characteristic value at each record level in the report and then replaces it with attribute value as defined and may be in your case as the characteristice is not defined in the row , it has problems to identify which value of the characteristic it has to replace.

  • [Solved] Error : The file or folder path /Probl?me 1 does not exist

    Hello,
    I encountered this error
    The file or folder <path>/Probl?me 2 does not exist
    while I was trying to open a directory already extracted from a zip file containing directories with special characters. In this case, it is a "è" that was misinterpreted as a "?".
    I searched the forums and on google, the solutions proposed do not work for me. Although, I have to deal with these files written in french, I would like to have my locale in english (US), with a system wide support for special characters.
    Attempt 1: Adding the option : iocharset=utf8 into the fstab, like this :
    fstab :
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

    #/dev/sda12 /mnt/archive ext4 defaults 0 2
    #.host:/ /mnt/hgfs vmhgfs defaults 0 0
    This solution does not work, because after adding iocharset=utf8, in front or after a "defaults", after a reboot, while mounting the filesystem, there is the following error message:
    Mounting Locale Filesystem :

    It is complicated to remove these directories. I had to use the inum to get precisely these directories before removing them.
    $ ls -il
    total 8

    $ find . -inum 1577566 -exec rm -i {} \;
    rm: impossible de supprimer « ./Probl\212me 1 »: est un dossier
    Note that the hypothetical character 'è' is represented has a '\212', a 'È' if seen as a extended ASCII character.
    These directories cannot be deleted this way :
    $ rm -r Problème\ 1
    rm: cannot remove `Problème 1': No such file or directory
    or
    $ rm -r ProblÈme\ 1
    rm: cannot remove `ProblÈme 1': No such file or directory
    What should I do to be make the operating system recognize those special character, and interpret them correctly ?

    I found a working solution, but better solution are also welcome
    I had to have fr_CA not only in utf8 but also in iso88591. I had to modify the /etc/rc.conf this way :
    LOCALE="fr_CA" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    HARDWARECLOCK=""
    TIMEZONE="America/Montreal"
    KEYMAP="us"
    CONSOLEFONT=
    CONSOLEMAP=
    USECOLOR="yes"
    To preserve the english US language system wide, I had to add the following line in the /etc/profile :
    # Allow french special character while in en_US
    export LANG=en_US
    The character misinterpreted by a "?" is now seen :
    as a "è" in dolphin
    as a "?" in the console
    It is now possible to access the folders.

  • Can't Install iTunes, Folder Path error

    I'm trying to install iTunes 7, and I keep getting the error message, "Folder Path 'My Pictures' contains invalid character. Ideas?

    Re: Invalid Drive: F:\
    Posted: Nov 8, 2007 11:16 PM in response to: sneakymartian Reply Email
    First off, I'm probably one of the least tech-savvy people in this forum. This issue has been plaguing me for the past week with no end in sight. I hunted around the net trying to find a straight answer and finally I came across something that worked.
    NOTE: I'm running Windows XP so I can only speak for my success in that regard.
    1) Click the Windows Start button.
    2) Select "Run". (A drop down entry box will appear.)
    3) Type "regedit" (DISCLAIMER: Proceed at your own risk. Editing the registry can be dangerous and cause even more problems to your operating system if you don't know what your doing, like me. That being said this solution still seemed fairly low risk to me, I took a chance and it worked beautifully.
    4) You will now see the "Registry Editor" window pop open with a directory of folders. In the menu along the top click: Edit\Find...
    5) In the "Find What" box enter the name of the drive that was giving you the error message. In my case it was "F:\" but it could be different on yours. (Example: "G:\" or "L:\", whatever the letter is of your "Invalid Drive" message.
    6) Click the "Find Next" button.
    7) Results will appear in the window to the right if there are any hits.
    8) Read each result carefully and decide if it seems like it should be there. If it's obviously obsolete or does not belong then select it and delete it.
    a) In my case I found about a half dozen items. Two of them were outdated folder directories that no longer existed (I had changed the path name a long time ago), while the remaining hits were all "WDSynch" items (Western Digital external hard drive application. "Passport" or some nonsense.)
    NOTE: I am very suspicious of external hard drives as one of the culprits of the iTunes installation problem (Invalid Drive *:\, particularly Western Digital's "WDSynch" application. Almost every post I've read the person mentioned something about their external hard drive so I'd consider that possibility first.
    I had tried using this bloated, non-user friendly "WDSynch" and "Passport" application when I first bought my WD external hard drive and discovered that I hated it. Don't get me wrong, the drive itself is great but just avoid the synch app nonsense unless you want deal with constant stress and headaches (Yes, it's a very jaded and biased view so take it or leave it).
    After discarding the unfriendly-ware I wound up reformatting the drive anyway from FAT32 to NTFS and I now just use a simple drag-and-drop system for file transfers and copying. (You can leave it at FAT32 if you want, I just didn't like the partition restrictions.)
    9) Do multiple searches to make sure you find every last little bugger (F3 will find the next one) so on and so forth until all evidence of that drive letter is gone.
    10 Exit the Registry Edit.
    11) Reboot your machine.
    12) Try running the iTunes install again and it should work!
    Disclaimer: This is my own experience with this problem so don't blame me if you mess up your computer. I was at my wits end and had nothing to lose so I took a chance and it paid off.
    I wish all of you success. Good luck!

  • Windows 7,new installation, images folder path configuration problem

    Hello all,
    I am having a difficult time getting images folder (or possibly loaded images) to perform correctly on a new installation.
    When apex starts up, the page has no visual objects rendered. Here's a portion of the page's source:
    h1. Sample rendered page segment
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:htmldb="http://htmldb.oracle.com" xmlns:apex="http://apex.oracle.com">

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\imagescss/apex_4_1.min.css" type="text/css" />
    You can see the html is being rendered, but incorrectly. In the excerpt, the images path is incorrect.
    h3. As it appears in the rendered page
    <link rel="icon" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\imagesfavicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    h3. As it should appear (manually corrected image path)
    <link rel="icon" href="C:\Users\violin\Documents\OracleDownloads\apex_4.1_en\apex\images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    I'm not sure whether the folder path is (forward|backward)(single|double) slash delimited.
    h1. Listener script
    I've started the listener with and without the apex.images parameter. I commented out the "plain version." Here's my listener startup script:
    @echo on
    cls
    set oracle_sid=xe
    set localcd=%cd%
    cd C:\Users\violin\Oracle\apex_listener.1.1.3.243.11.40
    rem java -jar apex.war
    java -Dapex.images=C:\Users\violin\Oracle\apex_4.1_en\apex\apex\images\ -jar apex.war
    h1. Troubleshooting
    I've tried a number of corrections including rerunning apex_epg_config.sql, apexldimg.sql, adding an apex.images parameter to listener startup (just a shot in the dark), deleting and recreating apex.properties, adding and removing trailing /'s, \'s, //'s, \\'s, etc. I didn't have success with any of these approaches, so it may have been cumulative changes that resulted in the problem. I just list them as having tried (at least once).
    h1. Environment
    Windows 7
    Firefox 11.0
    apex 4.1 English
    Thank you for taking the time to respond.

    Hello Jeff E,
    Thank you for quick reply.
    Yes, I did specify a full path rather than /i/. I think I had originally started with /i/ but didn't understand where /i/ maps to a folder path, so I reinstalled and specified the path with similar results.
    I'll test reset_image_prefix.sql and post results.
    I'm confused about the EPSQL gateway v. APEX listener. I just tried to follow the documentation which offered multiple options. I am not familiar with either of them, so I can't defend a choice.
    Thank you.

  • How to create path with arrowhead?

    Hello. I have a document with a single path in it. How can I apply arrowhead efect to this path? I tried using Beautiful strokes suite, but was only able to get arrowhead from existing path. How can I get one if there is no path with arrowheads in the document?

    Yeah, it's really not obvious at all how to do this.
    The key is to use the AIBeautifulStrokesSuite. The steps are as follows:
    Get the art style of the path (AIArtStyleSuite::GetArtStyle()).
    Parse the style (AIArtStyleParserSuite::NewParser(), ParseStyle()).
    Get the focus stroke (AIArtStyleParserSuite::GetFocusStroke), which gets you an AIParserPaintField.
    Populate the AIParserPaintField into a CPaintField (see below for code)
    Use AIBeautifulStrokesSuite::SetArrowheadOptions, and pass CPaintField::GetEffectsDictionary() to the first parameter.
    Call CPaintField::Save().
    Create a new art style (AIArtStyleParserSuite::CreateNewStyle()).
    Apply the style to the path (AIArtStyleSuite::SetArtStyle()).
    Dispose of the parser (AIArtStyleParserSuite::DisposeParser()).
    Note that I was only interested in the 'main' stroke so I used the focus stroke (which in 99% of cases will be the only stroke). If you want to handle multiple strokes, you can iterate over all the paint fields in the style by calling AIArtStyleParserSuite::CountPaintFields() on your parser after parsing the style. You just have to test each one to see if its a stroke or a fill, since obviously you can't apply arrowheads to fills!
    The arrow head itself is set by passing in an AIPatternHandle, which is the handle to a symbol. You can set the start or end, and the other parameters are just the scale to use for the symbols and the alignment of the arrowheads (ArrowTipAlignment, found in AIBeautifulStrokes.h). The standard arrowheads are stored in an AI file in found in Support Files\Required\Resources\en_US (or whatever your language is). You get the path to this folder at runtime using AIFolders::FindFolder() and passing it kAIRequiredLocalizedResourcesFolderType. The filename is Arrowheads.ai.
    If you want to read the AI file as a library, you need to use AIPathStyleSuite::ImportStyles(). You pass it the path to the AI file and it will give you an AIDocumentHandle in return. You can use this handle with methods like AISymbolSuite::GetNthSymbolPatternFromDocument(). Just be sure to retarget anything you load for your current document; to do that, you use AISymbolSuite::RetargetForCurrentDocument(). If you don't retarget the style, you'll add a reference to art that doesn't exist in your document and when you close Illustrator, it will crash (because it will try to free up the symbol twice, once for your document & once for the library you loaded, but it only existed once!).
    CPaintField is a little utility class I created that basically wraps some code I was given by Adobe, so I'm happy to share it. Its useful whenever you're dealing with AIBeautifulStrokesSuite type stuff. THROW_EXCEP_IF() is a macro we use that checks error to see if its kNoErr, and if its not, we throw an exception. You can replace that with your own error checking, or just remove them, as you wish

  • Browse for Folder path.

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to store a directory path in a database, and would like the user to be able to browse to a folder and select it, so that the full path can be stored in a table.
    I plan to have the initial browse point default to a network drive and parent directory, under which the user will navigate and select the appropriate child directory, probably at least 2 levels down.
    The user will be entering data via a form. I had envisaged using a display only field to show the path, (blank for new records), and then having a 'Browse' button to select the directory, before submitting the form.
    The question is how to achieve this. The File Browse item type is nearly there, but is obviously more concerned with uploading files. I just want to select and store a directory path.
    Any ideas on how I can achieve this please. I have been trying to get a button to run some java script to open up a dialogue and return a directory path, without success, and I am not sure this is the best approach.
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8 and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\".
    Changes to IE's security config setting “Include local directory path when uploading files” enables the path to be exposed in IE8, but unless you're working in an intranet environment where: IE is the only browser used; it's possible to make remote changes to this setting on every desktop; and this won't break/expose anything else, then you'd be strongly advised to rethink this requirement.
    For more information see:

    I have a requirement to store a directory path in a database, and would like the user to be able to browse to a folder and select it, so that the full path can be stored in a table.If you explain what this requirement is then possibly some alternative approaches can be suggested that don't involve storing file paths.

  • 'The folder path "C:" contains an invalid character.' ERROR AS I INSTALL iTunes

    hi
    first of all, merry xmas to all that celebrate! i hope you had/have a memorable day!
    and wishing everyone the very best for the new year.
    Now, I have a problem when I try to install iTunes on my computer. I'm running:
    - Windows Vista (Home Basic)
    - iTunes 10.5.2.11
    i have sufficient hard-drive space and sufficient ram. its definetly NOT from that. I originially DID HAVE iTunes already installed on my computer, but I was frequently having problems with establishing a connection through my iPhone 4. So I thought it would be a good idea to delete it and try downloading a new version, then install it fresh!
    I have some computer skills and knowledge, and i know how "most" things work and run. But now I am totally stuck. I run the iTunes software to be installed, but the installer keeps giving me an error message and NOT installing. I've done all the easy and required steps after I deleted the original version of iTunes from my computer, and now I need help from someone who really knows their stuff in IT and computer software. I have a feeling it may be a string of codes that are corrupt or significantly different to what they should be, but thats just my guess! cos like i already said, ive tried all the common fixes already but have been unsuccessful thus far. Some of the things I did were:
    - Restart the computer, re-boot, login to Windows, run the iTunes installation
    - Turn off the computer, wait 10 minutes, re-boot and then run the iTunes installation
    - Delete ALL the "Apple" company software that was still installed on my computer (QuickTime, iPhone Utility, iPod, Bonjour, etc etc)
    - Confirm my "User Account Control" is OFF
    - Run the iTunes installation file from my secondary windows login account (which has "Administrator" privilages)
    - Create a new windows login account, turn off the UAC (User Account Control protection), then try installing iTunes
    - Run disk-error checks on my hard-drives incase there are missing/corrupt/misplaced files that needed repair
    etc etc etc etc
    Nothing worked! THIS BELOW IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I KEEP GETTING WHEN I DOUBLE-CLICK ON THE iTUNES INSTALLER:
    - Double click on the iTunes install icon
    - The "Trusted File Security Warning/Confirmation" window appears, requesting I confirm to Run or Cancel the software installation. I click on "Run"
    - A horizontal grey bar appears in the middle of the screen, and quickly fills up green
    - Then a small installation windows appears (Windows Installer) that writes "Preparing to Install". Then it very fast writes a couple different sentences (which is normal), specifically the sentences are "Performing installation checks" and "Checking spacing requirements".
    - immedietly after the previous step, another window appears and I hear the "error" audio tone. The ERROR MESSAGE has the Yellow Triangle logo with an exclamation mark in the middle, and beside it displays the following text (and Ive attatched the screen shot too):
    THE FOLDER PATH "C:" CONTAINS AN INVALID CHARACTER
    then below this message theres the "OK" button which I have no choice but to click on. then the next window that appears is as follows (see screenshot), and it reads:
    iTunes Installer Completed
    The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
    Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified.
    Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit
    Please I beg you guys to help me, I will be extremely grateful for ALL and ANY advice/tips/assistance/solutions I receive. And would owe you one for sure!!
    Please feel free to write your opinions and thoughts on what I could do different, as Ive used up all my knowledge regarding the matter, and have seriously hit a brick wall now.
    Thanks so so so much, and once again I wish everyone the absolute very best!

    Resolution:
    Check for the existence of a hidden folder named %appdata% in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client folder.  (You will need to un-check the folder options box in windows explorer for "Hide
    protected operating system files" to see it)
    If the hidden %appdata% folder exists, delete it.
    Proceed to uninstall the App-V client
    After a clean uninstall and removal of remnants of the client, reinstall the client again and apply the latest hotfix available (Hotfix 2 for SP2 at a minimum).

  • In an Excel template file, can I set the Folder Path in the SaveAs Dialog box?

    I have an Excel template file (xltm) and, with help from the forum, I now have a Workbook_BeforeSave subroutine to save the template as a macro enabled file (xlsm).  I’m so thankful for that help from Edward in the forum.
    I also want to set the default folder location to save the file. I really only need it when the template is saved as a new xlsm file, because if they open the xlsm file, it’s usually opened from the default folder path so any save would normally go back
    to where the file was opened.  However, with a template (even if the template is in the default folder) the Saved template reverts back to the user’s documents folder.
    Is there a good way to do this?
    I tried to modify the Workbook_BeforeSave code like this:
    Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim FolderDir As String
    Dim FileNameVal As String
    FolderDir = "Z:\save\data\place\"
    If SaveAsUI Then
    If Dir(WorkBookFolder, vbDirectory) <> "" Then
    Application.DefaultFilePath = WorkBookFolder
    End If
    FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(, "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")
    Cancel = True
    If FileNameVal = "False" Then 'User pressed cancel
    Exit Sub
    End If
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FileNameVal & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If
    End Sub
    But there are a lot of checks that would need to be done.
    I'm not sure how to only default the folder saved only when they open the template, but not change it when they just open an already saved Excel file created by the template (with all the active content, macros, etc.).
    Alan Edwards

    Hi Alan,
    store the path\filename in the 1st argument:
    FileNameVal = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("C:\*.xlsm", "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm), *.xlsm")

  • Can't update to 10.5 on Win7 - Folder Path contains an invlaid character error

    Tried to update to 10.5 with Win 7 (64bit) and keep getting the error - Folder Path AppData/Roaming contains an invlaid char. Same error if I try to uninstall itunes. Any ideas on how to proceed?

    Tried to update to 10.5 with Win 7 (64bit) and keep getting the error - Folder Path AppData/Roaming contains an invlaid char.
    That's a rarish path to see in this context. (There must be an itunes preference file update involved in the 10.5.x install.)
    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. 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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeksare worth checking.)
    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 iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Folder path "My Tunes" contains an invalid character.

    When trying to install the latest version of ITunes I get the message "the folder path My Tunes contains an invalid character. I click ok and then it says try again later, but later is always the same. I've tried to delete the whole thing to start from scratch but it won't let me. Something got messed up when I put the program into an external hard drive. What should I do next?

    "The folder itunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside "My Music" folder.
    okay ... the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

    Hi Barbara,
    I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7,  who like myself was a newbie on this platform,  b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
    If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.

  • IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path contains an invalid character

    I tried to install ITUNES on an external HD (I didn't want to slow down my computer by putting all of my music on my internal HD). ITunes installed and then crashed. I removed all traces of ITUNES and IPOD that I could find and went to install ITUNES again on my regular internal drive. Now it goes through the installation and REMEMBERS my IPOD serial number (so obviously I can't find all of the files to remove) but doesn't give me a choice of where to install (it still must be trying to install to my external HD) the ITUNES. All I get is the following Error message:
    IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
    Does anyone have a solution out there?
    Thanks in advance!

    IPOD Updater - Error 1324 - The Folder path "Program Files" contains an invalid character
    Interesting. It's choking on the old iPod updater application. (iPod software updates are no longer handled by a standalone application ... that function was folded into iTunes beginning with iTunes 7.0.0.70.)
    Let's try the following procedure.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any entries called "ipod for windows \[date]" or "ipod updater \[date]" or just "ipod for windows" in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Quit out of CleanUp, and restart the PC.
    Does an itunes install go through properly after that?

  • The Folder Path "My Documents contains an Invalid Character"

    Hello.
    I have a major problem at hand.
    I presently have iTunes 7.6 on my Dell laptop
    when i try installing itunes 7.7 or 7.7.1, it gives an error
    "The folder path my documents contains an invalid character"
    I scoured the internet, but to no avail...
    Please help
    Sometime back, the name of My Documents have been changed to "id" by mistake
    Then itunes 7.6 also wasnt working.. Then i went to the registry and changed all the folder paths, and then it was working....
    So, please help...
    Thanks!

    If the same problem occurs in another account, it suggests the message is misleading and the problem is not with My Documents itself.
    That is unless you have changed the path c:\Documents and Settings which is common to all accounts.
    It sounds as though there is a registry key set with corrupt information somewhere that you haven't found yet.
    Something you could try is a complete removal of iTunes according to the following method. I have also included instructions for installer clean up which you should do if one of the uninstalls fails. I am guessing that the iTunes uninstall might fail with a similar message.
    == uninstall with 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:
    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 and file or folder called Quicktime.
    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.
