iTunes won’t uninstall from Windows XP
May 7th, 2008I have an earlier version of iTunes that has been on my laptop for a while and I haven’t kept it updated like I should.
So as I was preparing to go out of town, I wanted to upload some videos to my ipod for the plane ride and needed to upgrade the iTunes for my ipod to be attached to my laptop.
Of course iTunes warned me about upgrading before I could do anything.
So after multiple attempts to download and install iTunes, I finally found the answer to the problem and it actually lied with Quicktime (though from what I have read on the web, a similar problem exists with iTunes as well).
Here is what to try:
1. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
2. Install the program (MS Office not required!)
3. Run the program from Start->All Programs->Windows Install Cleanup Utility
4. Click on iTunes and QuickTime, and then click the “Remove” button
5. Run the iTunes installer!
I hope this helps you if you are having the same problem I was!
Good luck!
