iTunes rolling back action installing on Windows 7
Today I hit a permissions-related issue with installing iTunes 12.4.3.1 on a Windows 7 PC, and wanted to share my solution.
By default, it appears that the installer lacks permission to edit or delete a file during the installation process. In a post from 2009 for Windows Vista, one person's solution was to execute the iTunes installer from the command line.
If you're using Windows 7, there's an easier trick.
- Log in as an Administrator on your PC.
- Right-click on the installation file. In my case it was iTunes64Setup.exe.
- Select Run as Administrator
The installer should be able to finish without rolling back.
