What's the precise text of your error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)
"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.
🙂 Many thanks.
Doublechecking. You've worked through the following user tip?
Yes, multiple times with no luck... The apple software update program isnt on my computer whatsoever.
Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)
nothing. it will finish installing then it gives me the same error code that I listed above.
no advice?
Try the standalone reinstall again, only this time right-click the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi file and select "Run as administrator".
Any better luck with that?
There is no "Run as administrator" option.
Okay. Try right-clicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file and selecting "Run as administrator".
It pops up saying this program needs permission so i click continue and nothing ever happens.
ok try these this article and see if you can get it running after you follow them.
