Unable to install iTunes 10.6.1.7x64
Hi.
I have been trying to install iTunes on my 64bit machine for quite some time now. I had the application installed earlier, but I uninstalled it some time last year I think (can't remember exactly).
Now that I tried to install it again, it gave me an error saying "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required to run this installer...........". I searched online, and came to a conclusion that there is a problem with the Apple Software Update. I couldn't find anything in my Programs and Features list in the Control Panel. I tried running Microsoft Fix It, to no avail.
Then, I stumbled upon this thread here at SevenForums Unable to install iTunes 10.5.2.11. Tried that solution, but none of the Apple software was listed in the list, and after the procedure the error message I was getting changed to (screenshot). After getting the first error, the installation would roll back and try to install again. Then I get the second message. Notice that the key being referred to is different in both cases. Then roll back, install again, and back to square one, the error I started out with.
The iTunes installer is a packaged installer comprising of individual setups of the various components - it can be extracted using winRAR. In alphabetical order, they are
1. AppleApplicationSupport
2. AppleMobileDeviceSupport64
3. AppleSoftwareUpdate
4. Bonjour64
5. iTunes64
6. SetupAdmin
The first two I was able to install in my first attempt to install iTunes last week, because my iPod was being recognised as an Apple iPod and I could sync with Media Monkey. I tried running iTunes64.exe but that failed too.
I am at a loss now. I really need iTunes cause I have an iPod shuffle and I need to change the volume limit on the device. I don't have the Apple earbuds with controls so I can't change the volume either, and it's really frustrating.
Hoping to get some help ASAP. Any help will be much appreciated.
PS Sorry for the long message but I wanted to clear everything and give as much info as I could.
