Windows Installer dosent have an expected peice of software!!
I have removed Itunes from my system and am now trying to reinstall it and it now comes up with a error message about windows installer not having a required bit of software.
Clearly this is not the case as I installed itunes 7.6 only last week. Can anyone help?
I have installed a 7.5 version of itunes on my pc and checked that the windows installer is up to date. When I try and run the 7.5 it says my library was created in a later version and wont run and 7.6 still insists that there is a problem with windows installer.
Really hope someone can help.

Itunes 12.1.1.4 not run cd rom on windows xp sp3. have removed all cd burning software
itunes 12.1.1.4 not run cd rom on windows xp sp3. have removed all cd burning software.
Thanks Alex,
I performed all of the steps you suggested and iTunes v-12.1.1 installed correctly.
The problem is, that version of iTunes now does not recognize my HL-DTST DV-DRAM GMA-4082N, CD/DVD DRIVE.
When I insert a CD to rip into my iTunes library nothing happens.
If I click on the properties for that D-drive nothing shows using the Explore function.
If I open Microsoft Media Player v-11.0.5721.5262 I can see all of the tracks on the disk, and the player rips the songs to the Microsoft Media Player library which I can then play.
I then reinstalled VLC media player v-2.1.5, and was able to play cd's and watch DVD's. When I performed that install I again received the iTunes banner:
Earlier versions of iTunes worked just fine:
iTunes v-11.4 (32-bit) 10 September, 2014, (6 months ago), size: [106.11 MB], for Windows XP SP3 worked on this same Toshiba laptop.
The latest version: iTunes v-12.1.1 seems to want to be the only piece of software allowed on the 32 Bit XP system.
To me, it looks like Apple does not want any other applications running on this system. Not very thoughtful for customers that cannot afford to purchase more expensive computers when they are on a fixed income. I have been a long time user of Apple equipment when employed by Motorola, development engineering.in my younger years.
Is there any way to get the earlier versions of iTunes back on this laptop?
Thanks,

I got a refurbished mac yesterday, and it disent have the latest osxlion software, and i think it has snow leopard. When i clicked software update it says my software was up to date. Please help me get it freee, because i was supposed to.
Apple includes Lion with its refurbished products. What you bought was a used computer. The best course of action is to try to get your money back and buy a factory-certified refurbished computer. Otherwise, you are likely buying someone else's problem.

Windows installer will not recognise itunes.
Have no apple releated software on the machine, have deleted the temp files, still cannot open package.
Error is "Installation package could not be opened, verify that the package exists and that you can access it
, or contact the vendor to verify that it is a valid windows installer package".Have no apple releated software on the machine, have deleted the temp files, still cannot open package.

5, it says, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I have Windows XP and I need help.
After reading all these posts, one by one did not resolve my problem until I got the very end. Regardless of what step would resolve your problem, these are the steps I would recomment to everyone for a what seems to be a safe and fool-proof upgrade to iTunes 10.5.
1. Stand alone upgrade to the latest Quicktime version
2. Go to control panel and "change" then select repair to the following applications in the order specified by the post on Oct 27. (Notice I skipped Quicktime because it had been upgrade manually,and Bonjour did not have a "repair" option)
iTunes; Apple Software Update: Mobile Device Support; Apple Applications Support
Some of these applications may not appear if they do not apply to your configuration (no iPhone, or no iPad, or other apple devices).
Once all updated, I did not need to restart nor launch any applications, I simply went straight into the 10.5 upgrade, and where it normally got stuck, this time the installation continued for a while longer until it completed successfully.
Great work everyone who contributed! Thank you very much! -
Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!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? -

I keep getting the following error message when I try to update my itunes, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. Aprogram run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Yes, I had found a similar solution also. I'm running XP Pro, SP3. I went Control Panels/ Add-Remove programmes/apple software update/ change/ repair. Then run the 10.5 exe.
While the programme updated from version 8 of iTunes, my new iTunes is now a mess. Not all of my music was in the same folder previously but it all showed up on iTunes. Now many albums have been left out, some have only a few tracks and some have two copies of some tracks as well as having other tracks missing. I haven't begun to work on that. -

I am experiencing the exact same issue during the installtion process for iTunes 10.5.
I uninstalled all Apple components but when I attempted to uninstall the Apple Software Update I received the same message: "Fatal error during installtion." I was able to repair the Apple Software Update but still could not install iTunes 10.5 afterwards.
I have tried everything that I could find on these discussions pages as well as other suggestions on third party sites. I continue to receive the error message: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

My ipad will not open icloud photos and I have a windows 7 laptop so I removed icloud and and I am trying to download it again but get the following message: There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of the set up did not finish as expected. This problem occurred I think after one of the Apple updates and I couldn't find icloud photos on the icloud main page. When I tried to open icloud photos from the select menu it was there but nothing happened.
