Using windows installer cleanup utility to help installing i-tunes

Hi,
I currently have older version of i-tunes (not 7.0.2) with many songs downloaded. Have a new ipod nano. It requires that 7.0.2 be downloaded. When try to download get error message that my machine is missing install script engine and says to run ISScript.msi. Was suggested I use windows installer cleanup to help the problem. If I do this will I loose all my downloaded songs???Please help.
Thanx,
MTNGUY

Is there a program to replace the Windows installer cleanup utility?

Trying to update itunes but can't remove the old program, get message C:\Documents and Settings\mark\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\. Anyone know if there is a replacement for Windows Installer Cleanup Utility ? Or some other way to get rid of the old program?
Thanks.

Microsoft retired the CleanUp utility because it can cause problems with other programs installed by the Microsoft Windows Installer. The replacement is a Microsoft "Fix It" solution; it is not a Java app but a downloadable executable and is run locally.
Due to potential problems with the outdated Microsoft Installer CleanUp Utility, use the Fix it solution before attempting to find and run msicuu2.exe. It is well written and does not harm other programs installed by the Windows Installer (1 potential problem with the old utility). It may take several minutes (I have seen 20-30) to uninstall the app but when the Fix it solution finishes successfully the app is uninstalled.
The replacement is found at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall.

How or where do I find Windows Installer CleanUp Utility?

I have a Compaq Presario ,Windows XP. It seems Adobe has joined Goggle in cutting out the old boys.(Internet explorer 8). I am 86 and don't have the where with all to upgrade my computer. First my e-mail and now my Adobe reader. I have Reader XI listed in my Add/Remove file and cannot remove it. I successfully removed the other numbers but the XI gives me a message that the PatchPackage,could not be opened.It also tells me to get Windows Installer CleanUp Utilityto recifiy this. I need help.Please..

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Fixing problems with the Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility

Sorry for the long subject. I am having what appear to be common problems with my acrobat reader for which the only solution appears to be using the microsoft windows installer cleanup thing.
I have acheived downloading the utility to my desktop but when I try to run it I get an error message as follows:
Across the top of the message it says 'WINDOWS SCRIPT HOST' and in the box it says:
Script: C:\DOCUMEN~1\Karen\LOCAL~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsi.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: The specified module could not be found
Code: 800700E
Source: (Null)
Does anyone have any clues as to where I can go from here as I am stuck with a program I can neither use or uninstall, and a reascue plan that doesn't want to cooperate either. And please treat me like a 2 yr old with the technical stuff. Thanks. :-)
Karen

Can you try to download it again, perhaps to the C:\ drive rather than the Desktop? Delete the Desktop download, then open Windows Explorer, and run the installer from the C:\ drive.
P.S. do you have administrative privileges on your system?

CS5clean script, Windows installer cleanup utility no longer available from Microsoft. What now?

Since the Windows Installer cleanup script is no longer available from Microsoft because (while it) "...resolved some installation problems, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer. Because of this, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center"
So my installation of CS4Master collection is broken and I have no way of removing it. Thanks Adobe.
It alyways amazes me the need to make applications so reliant on inner workings the OS, at such a complex level, to simply run.
Either way, Im stuck
Please help!

For someone who can't use the windows installer cleanup utility.

I have been an iTunes user for years and have usually updated to the newest version whenever prompted and have had very little trouble with the program despite always using PCs. However, I recently purchased an iPhone which is fun, but requires the newest iTunes.
I tried to install the new version and received a message which many people have, which said "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
I searched online and found the solution that said to use the Windows Cleanup Utility or whatever, however, my computer barred me from doing this for some reason. Even when I manually attempted to register with the Command Prompt window, I was unable to get the program to work. I tried to fix THIS part, but received another error message which directed me to format my computer, which I am unwilling to do at this time. I don't even want to lose my library but I'm kind of resigned to that at this time.
So what I'm asking is, is there any other way to get this sorted out without the utility package? Any way to direct my computer to where itunes.msi would be on my computer? Is there anyway to fix this, seeing as it seems to be a recurring problem in the installation of this version? Thank you.

+it's essentially telling me I'm not the administrator when not only am I, but I'm the ONLY user on this computer+
Your sig says XPS. I assume that means XP. Your permissions must be corrupt in the registry, even though you are on an admin account. I got this same error when I upgraded my laptop to XP SP3. I had to run a tool from microsoft to fix it.
Scroll down to the advanced troubleshooting section on this page and run the subinacl stuff. I went and watched a movie while it ran - just be patient.

I can't install Itunes because of Windows installer package error, please help!

I tried installing Itunes for a long time on my desktop, I'm running Vista. Everytime I try to install Itunes it runs for a bit, then gives me this message
" There is a problem with Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
I went through many posts on how to solve this problem, I uninstalled and deleted all the files from this thread : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
and tried to reinstall Itunes, didn't work, same error message.
After i tried to install Itunes in Clean boot still didn't work.
I also downloaded MicrosoftFixit.Program which apperantly fixed this problem for some people, not for me.
Then I extracted Itunes and tried to install all the components seperately, everything installed correctly, however when I tried to install Apple Software update
I got the same error message, i think it is the Apple software update that is causing this problem but I have no idea how to solve this problem.
How do I solve this, any thoughts or suggestions???

Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
Now, uninstall Bonjour from Control Panel.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Windows Installer Cleanup

\So I have been trying to update Exchange Sp1 to Sp3 for weeks. I mean I am ready to shoot the dang SBS 11 box! Getting errors out the wazoo since the prior IT guy didn't do a good migration from server 08 originally. Anyways I had an error from an Exchange 2007 anti spam msi not being installed correctly. What the hell? I am on 10 not 7...weird but OK...after deleting the registry entries and msiexec /x key nothing was working. Turns out a deprecated tool called the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility was able to fully remove every failed sp update that i have been having issues with as well as the 2007 spam filter packs.
Does anyone have any other stories like this where random obsolete software has actually saved their day?

"The computer started using Windows installation media." Installing windows 10 technical preview on virtual machine

The computer started using Windows installation media. Remove the installation media and restart your computer so that Windows starts normally. The, insert the installation media and restart the upgrade. (Do not
select |custom[advanced]| to perform an upgrade. |custom[advanced]| installs a new copy of Windows and deletes your programs and settings.)
That is the Compatibility report that I'm getting when trying to install onto parallels 10 Version 10.2.0 (28956) on my mid 2009 Macbook 13. This happens just after I click 'Install now' and accept the T&Cs.
I am selecting 'Upgrade: Install Windows and keep files, setting and applications'.
I am upgrading from the Windows Technical Preview Evaluation Copy. Build 9879.
I have updated my EFI and tried a few restarts and am booting from a CD. No luck yet.
Any help would be muchos appreciated.

Hi bitofagiggle,
I am not familiar with mac machines, based on what I know, there should be more settigns that need to be configured before the installation of Windows, I suggest you contact the manufacturer for further help regarding how to make Windows to upgrade smoothly.

New Windows Setup Can Be Synced To Only the Last Used Windows Installation?

Hello,
I have found out that Windows allows you to synchronize only with the last used Windows installation and does not allow you to choose to which of your Windows installations you want to synchronize. Why is that?
Here's my experience.
1. I installed Windows 10 TP for Enterprise and while in the Setup wizard chose to synchronize with the Windows installation that was last used to log in with the Microsoft account I specified during the setup of Windows 10 TP for Enterprise.
I had my appearance, Windows configuration settings and browser favorites successfully synchronized with the my laptop running Windows 8.1
2. Then I installed another copy of Windows 10 TP for Enterprise. At that time the first setup of Windows 10 TP for Enterprise was the last Windows installation to use my Microsoft account.
When I was asked to what Windows PC I would like to synchronize I had no option to choose other than the last used Windows 10 TP for Enterprise that I had just deployed.
It would've been great if I could select from any of the PCs that I used to log in with my Microsoft account, like you could do in Internet Explorer that allows you to show recent visited websites for all of you registered PCs.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Yes, it downloaded all the emails and folders. I did some checking on the Gmail website and found a setting there for POP3: Download ALL, Download from this point forward, Disable POP. It defaults to download all. I changed it to Download from this point forward. That took care of the issue. Three steps are required for Gmail:
1) Download TB and set the account to use POP instead of IMAP.
2) Log on to your Gmail web account and go to Settings, Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
3) Select Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
After doing these steps, start Thunderbird and it should only receive new email messages.
I will mark the issue solved, but wanting to provide you what I learned to help others in the future. Thank You , Greg Nackers
