  • I can't install Itunes (The older version of Apple Software Update...)

    I try to reinstall Itunes many times, but this message keep popping up :''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''. So I google the problem, and tried many solutions that people says like use windows installer cleanup utility (and it says we're sorry, we encountered an expected problem downloading one or more components and can't run the troubleshooter right now. Please try again later) , delete ASU from add/remove control panel (It says The installation source of this product is unavailable. Verify that source exists and that you can access it).
    Please help ~ What should I do?!? T.T

    I have the same problem as yours too. It always says ''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''.

  • Tried to download but keep getting message:the older version of apple software update cannot be remove contact support group Help

    Trying to uninstall and download itunes keep getting message "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed contact support group. There must be a hidden file I can't find.

    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 on June 25 2010. 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 Geeks are 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 Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".

  • "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed..."

    When trying to update the Itunes software, I received an error message that indicated the application could not find a file. Since then, I've tried uninstalling all Quicktime, Itunes, and Ipod software and deleting all entries. I now receive the message "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group" when I try to reinstall Itunes. Please help.

    okay, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and use it to remove the installation configuration information for your Apple Software Update:

    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • The older version of Apple Software Update Cannot be removed-WinXP

    I have followed every step from the support site concerning completely removing iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, and Apple Software Update to no avail.
    I then went and through the installation of the following tools to clean any remaining elements from my system.
    installed and ran Windows Install Clean Up
    Installed and ran  Revo Unistaller
    I went to the Apple site and downloaded a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5 and ran the install, all went well until the following message appeared.
    The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed.
    This indicated to me that I must have some lingering components on the system that the installer sees and I cannot find.
    I went back through the registry and searched for any entries having to do with Apple, Bonjour, Qwicktime and removed any and all.
    Still the same error.  So this is where it sits,
    Any additional suggestions from anyone?

    I have done the exact same steps as Drewfromlacenter over the past week.  Also to no avail.  Same message about the older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed, and it tells me to contact my Technical Support Group.  Who is that anyway??  Any suggestions where we go from here?
