Unable to remove old version of Power Query

I suddenly observed that Power Query and Power View tabs are missing from my Excel 2013 Pro Plus. Don't know the reason for this, but when I tried to install again, it says "The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable...
Enter alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "PowerQuery_2.10.3598.81 (32-bit) [en-US].msi
Old version of Microsoft Power Query for Excel cannot be removed.
Can you please help me with this error?

How are you attempting to uninstall the old version of Power Query? Add/Remove Programs?

Unable to remove old version of iTunes

no "remove" option, in the control panel for itunes, downloaded new itunes, can't install it. message said
"cannot remove old version, contact technical support group".
i give up.
anyone know about this???

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:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(7) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?
(thank you very much, {b nior})

Unable to remove old version of iTunes, apple application support.msi

Hi, I'm having trouble with my itunes and i don't know how to uninstall the old version of itune or uninstall the apple application support file that is in my control panel if anybody can help it will be greatly apprciated....

Did you get your issue resolved? I think I'm having the same problem. I can't uninstall itunes and I can't reinstall itunes without a box popping up stating
" The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below"
And when I search for that file on my computer, it finds 2 different paths and NEITHER of them contain the .msi file. I'm ready to pay apple support just so I can scream at someone. This is so frustrating!!!!

Problem removing old versions with customization wizard 8

I'm trying to deploy Acrobat Reader 8 to our XP Professional desktops via Active Directory software installation (Windows Server 2003 domain)
I have obtained the MSI release of Reader 8, customised it using Adobe Customization Wizard 8, and deployed it through AD as per the Adobe documentation. This works as expected for new machines without a previous release of Reader installed.
However for desktops that have Reader 6 or 7 installed, we end up with two versions installed side by side (visible in Add/Remove Programs). Reader 8 works fine at this point. Removing the older version causes the PDF file association that Reader 8 created to be broken, also the Internet Explorer browser plugin is broken. Reader 8 has to be reinstalled manually to fix this issue.
I have read that Reader automatically removes old versions of itself when you install a new version. Additionally, when customising the MSI, "Remove previous version of Reader" is greyed out. However it appears that the installer is not removing old versions.
Any ideas as to a solution?
Thanks a lot
Tom Fanning

I have the same problem and i have wasted like 50 hours on this s**t. I'm trying to deploy reader 8 on our 1800 XP workstations with SMS 2003.
The cutomization tool is totally useless. The only way i have came up with is to create a script wich checks if earlier versions of Adobe reader is installed by looking if the installation folders exists (for example c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader ).
If the installation folders exists, the script would run the uninstallatoin string of the reader using its Windows installer product code, like this:
MsiExec.exe /x /qn {AC76BA86-7AD7-1035-7B44-A70000000000}
Now, the problem with the script is that we have several versions of reader 6 and 7 including 3 different languages. The script or the .BAT file would be quite complicated and the testing is allmost impossible.
I think that it would be much more easier to create a script that deletes all the shotcuts for Adobe reader and then installs a Freeware product for openig PDF files.

In my opinion, adobe products are a nightmare for IT admins and their support system is even worse than Microsofts.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you 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", as per the following screenshot:

Should you remove old versions (CS5) before you install creative cloud?

Should you remove old versions before you install creative cloud? Right now I have CS4 and CS5 on my system. Iwould like to remove them before I move forward.

Rod as Badavaraj indicated there is no requirements to keep the older versions installed. If you have particular compatiblity needs with plug-ins or working collaboratively with other Adobe users using those versions however you may want to keep the older software titles installed.

ITunes-Won't upgrade, can't removed old version, can't add new version,etc

I just bought a new Ipod yesterday, 30GB Photo/Video. I connected my Ipod however it was not responding to the old version of iTunes which I had, this is when the problems started.
1st. I tried to update my iTunes, I tried with the new disc which came with my Ipod and also from the internet. I tried running and saving the program - both times I received a Error Msg as following:
Error 1406. Followed by some numbers and letters as well as: Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
2nd. I tried to remove my old version of my iTunes to see if I could then use the CD to add the new version, however when I tried to do so I got this Error Msg:
Error 1402. Could not open key: followed once again by some numbers and letters as well as: Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
Followed by Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation
Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information.
Seems like I've tried everything to install, update, and even delete my old version of iTunes to try and get the new version, nothing seems to help. I never had this problem before with my old Ipod, but I'm ready to switch over to my new one. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Thank you

I tried following the steps in the Troubleshooting, however I cannot complete them all as I cannot remove the older version of my iTunes from my computer.
I've emptied my Temp directory and restarted with the same result.
One thing I noticed is I cannot seem to find my Windows installer anywhere on my computer. Could this be a problem?
I've turned off my fire wall, turned off my anti virus program, and updated my computer all with the latest updates.
I've tried placing the program in different locations to see if this would work, but no such luck.
This is what I receive when I try to add the new iTunes from the CD:
Error 1406. Could not write to value to key\CLSID\{7A7FB085-6068-4898-8CCA-480A9187277C}\Local Server 32. Verify that you have sufficient access to that Key, or contact your support personnel.
If I press ignore and try to continue with the download it's followed by more errors:

Cannot remove old version of Quicktime

I have a Quicktime version that came when I bought my laptop. The OS system also came with the laptop. I have a Windows XP Home Edition. When I tried to install the Itunes latest version with quicktime it kept reporting that it is unable to remove the old version of quicktime and cannot continue with the installation. I have tried to follow the instructions with regards to removing the Quicktime including the 2 files inside the System 32 folder. I have restarted my pc and tried to install again but it still shows the same problem. Also the Quicktime logo is still showing up in my Add/Remove Program without a file size. So now I don't even have the quicktime anymore. Don't even know what else I can do to completely remove the old file.

ok what finally worked is that I installed the windows install cleanup. what I have been working at for hours took just around 15 min. but as I understand it you have to be very careful with it or you might accidentally remove files that you need. Thank you for your help.

Not able to remove old version of QuickTime

I use Windows 7 Professional (64bit) and have been using iTunes with no problems. Got a message today to upgrade to the newest version of iTunes. Downloaded the file (the x64 version). Installer uninstalled old version and started to install new version and hung up when it tried to remove QuickTime. Now neither iTunes nor QuickTime are on my computer.
I followed the instructions on the forum to do a clean uninstall of all Apple products including the verification process. iTunes still will not install... gets to the point of installing QuickTime and says it cannot remove the old version and I need to contact my support personnel.
Help! My iPod is useless w/o iTunes!!

Remove Old Versions

HI, I ran a software inspection scan at Secunia. The scan
identified old versions of flash player still present. In checking
the details of the scan, it was identifying instances of active x
controls in various applications, e.g. it identies flash player
5.0.42.0, and then says it's found in C:\Program
Files\MUSICMATCH\MUSICMATCH Update\MMJB\Swflash.ocx . There are a
number of similar "finds" in different applications, with different
flash players listed.
I uninstalled flash player 9.0.28.0, but it did not have any
affect on these old active x controls. If I just delete the various
ocx's, will the affected apps still run OK? What's the right (or
best) way to remove or update these ocx's? I plan to reinstall
flash player 9.0.28.0 after removing the old active x controls.
Thanks.
Larry

No. It's safe.

It should not; removing newer ones may wreck older ones.
