Q: I am trying to install the new itunes and receive this error in the middle of the install I am receiving an error.

The message received is:

 

The file does not have a program associated with it or is already installed.  If one is alredy installed create an association in the default programs control panel.

 

The member is difxinst64.exe and it's a third party (Gear Data) module.  It was in the correct library that the message was pointing to so I went to the default programs as the message stated.  Unter that there is an option to have an extension associated with a program (ie: doc - Word) but not an exe as all programs are executed.  I then checked the default program and it basically allows a program to take multiple extensions.  Like Notebook uses DOC, TXT, and RTF.

 

This would be a whole lot easier if I could cut and paste to show the actual message.

 

Anyway, I have been using iTunes for about 2 years on this computer and never had a problem until this new release.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  As I said on my profile I have Windows 7 64 bit system.

iPad, Windows 7
