Windows installer error and iTunes


Recommended Posts

I am trying to update to the newest version of iTunes but get the following

error 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.

If I uninstall iTunes, will I lose all the contents?

 

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Are you running WinXP SP2 or SP3?

Further, I have uninstalled ITunes and tried to reinstall with the same

problem.

Yes, I found a solution on Apple's support page.

 

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926?viewlocale=en_US

 

Follow the cleanup Itunes installer link. After the download, I selected

anything that said Apple, Itunes or quicktime.
