  • Whenever I try to update iTunes to 10.5 I get the message '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.'

    Whenever I try to update iTunes to 10.5 I get the message '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.'
    I then uninstalled iTunes to try and reinstall it but I still get the same message for both 10.5 and previous versions, please help!

    My situation:
    - get error when updating iTunes from 1041 to 1050 or above: "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."
    My system: XP SP3 with all latest updates.
    Found out that the 1051 update fixes a major intrusion possibility during the update process, so I want to get iTunes upgraded to 1051.
    Did more research and the following worked (not known if all steps outlined were necessary) (I do not guarantee success nor any more issues as a result):
    - ran: MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.exe (did JUST the patch option).
    - ran: Windows Installation Removal Tool.exe (uninstalled JUST the iTunes program installer folder) (this does not remove the actual program).
    - removed all apple software update registry entries.
    - removed: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple\Installer Cache\(JUST the software updatefolders) (hidden folder).
    - removed: C:\Documents and Settings\current user\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\(JUST the software  update folders) (hidden folder).
    - DID NOT need to restart
    - downloaded latest iTunes update (1051)
    - opened using WinRAR
    - extracted all files
    - ran JUST the apple software update MSI
    - it succeeded
    - ran JUST the iTunes MSI
    - it succeeded
    - normally I then uninstall the apple software update program, but DID NOT this time
    - DID NOT need to restart
    Hope it works for you.

  • There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. No apple software installed to try uninstall/repair.

    Trying to install latest version of 64bit Itunes. I'm getting the error message "There is a problem with this Windows install package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor". All the solutions require an uninistall of all apple software, which i have done, with no success. Apple software update is not in programs and features to uninstall. I've also tried install just safari, and I get the same error.
    I've run cCleaner to fix any registery issues which hasn't worked either.
    Any help appreciated.

    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • When I try to save a PDF, I get the message "There was a problem reading this document (14)."

    I receive no other information that helps me debug what the problem is.  The PDF is filled with editing comments.

    MobileMe was terminated on that date and you cannot access your iDisk using the Finder. You should sign out in System Preferences>MobileMe to prevent error messages - it's best to turn of any iDisk or other syncing first.
    There is currently a 'limited' grace period during which you can download files from your iDisk and Gallery, and migrate to iCloud if you haven't already done so. Go to http://me.com and follow the links there. We do not know how long this facility will continue to be available.

  • Every time i try to download itunes 10.5 this message appears: There is a problem with you windows installer package, a program required for install could not be run?

    please can someone help?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Regards.

  • I want to instal itunes 10.5.1 but it says that there is a missing thing in your windows package

    Unless you give up the actual message (it did not say there is a missing thing in your windows package, did it)
    it will be hard to help.

  • I keep getting a message that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected." when I try to download iTunes 10.5. So I can't update it. How can it be fixed?

    When I try to download iTunes 10.5, I keep getting the message "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected." Therefore I can't update my iTunes to the new version. How can I solve this? I don't want to pay for technical support as this seems to be a problem with the iTunes package Apple is providing itself by that message.

    Hello, hartadrian.
    I would recommend attempting to repair the Apple Software Update via the steps below.  Once processed attempt to download, update or install iTunes 11. 
    How to repair Software Update for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24326
    If you are still experiencing the issue, completely remove all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below.  Once this has been processed, attempt to download and install iTunes 11.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

    Repair your Apple software update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
    If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:

  • Trying to install the latest version of iTunes and when it is being installed I get the message "There is a problem with this installer package. A program quired for this install could not be run. Contact your support personel or package vendor."

    I am trying to install the latest version of itunes and when the install begins I get the message "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install could not be opened. contact your support personnel or product vendor". I ran a troubleshooting diagnostic on my computer and nothing flagged as a problem. I uninstalled iTunes and tried again and now I don't have any way to sync my ipod touch. Please help with any suggestions!!!

    Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)
