Q: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
When using auto update to update from iTunes 12.2.1 to iTunes 12.2.2, I am getting the error as in the picture below
I tried as in the picture to download manually using the apple software update but I am getting this
Also tried from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and still getting the same error message "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid."
I am using a Toshiba laptop and I just recently upgraded from windows 7 home to windows 10 home
Any suggestions ??
iPhone 6, iOS 8.4.1, null

Right, I think I'm beginning to make some sense of this. Unpacking the itunes6464.msi reveals a bunch of folders with four digit names. These correspond to Microsoft LocaleIDs. 1025 would be Arabic - Saudi Arabia, which isn't a supported language of the installer. Which language the installer should be trying to use is not immediately clear, but this page (assuming it isn't totally out of date) shows it should be:
- Requested language
- User's language
- GetUserDefaultUILanguage()
- GetUserDefaultLangID()
- System's language (GetSystemDefaultLangID())
- English
Changing your language and regional settings to something other than Arabic & Saudi Arabia should force msiexec to try to install itunes6464.msi using a different set of locale transforms, which should work. Judging by the contents of the .msi file supported languages are:
Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese
So for anyone one with this issue what are your current language and region settings?
Does setting them to something else allow you to install itunes6464.msi successfully?
