here's rough translation:
the new itunes update for windows7 has locked my itunes. "then i'll just install the program again[newly]', thought I.
so, I uninstalled the old and wanted to reinstall the new itunes. but it didn't function. i get the following error message:
[[the smaller window reads something like:
the rights of the installer are insufficient [do not extend out] in order to grab ..............C:programfiles(x86)\itunes
the installation cannot proceed. contact administrator or systemadministrator....
try again --------cancel
]]
the problem is that i AM the aministrator. Nevertheless, i cannot [proceed] with the installation.I've also tried to create a new user account with administrative rights and to install itunes [over] this. also did not function.
Additionally, i turned back the computer to yesterday. then the old desktop symbol appears again, but itunes still does not allow itself to be started, because suddenly some files appear to be missing.
I have been using itunes for years, and never had any problems. How can i get it installed again? As a non-IT-professional, i am but a simple user. Who can help me?
end of translation....
my two cents: also as a simple user [meine zwei pfennige als auch simple user]:
I received a similiar error message whilst recently trying to use itunes 10 on yosemite OS [hab aehnlich fehler gesehen als ich versuchte altmodish itunes 10 on neues Yosemite OS [geht nuer mit itunes 12]]
so perhaps you are experiencing a similar mismatch and tt2 will sort you out in no time flat! [vieleicht haben Sie auch ein mismatch und der lieber tt2 ist sehr hilfsbereit!]
maybe the question is which version of itunes is compatible with windows7? [ist die frage, welche version itunes geht mit windows7?]
note to tt2: last summer you kindly helped a very cranky me consolidate my itunes library [scattered amongst several EHD] and were so patient and helpful. I have felt very indebted to you and so, I hope that my translation is of some help to you/ OP. many thanks again. [this summers project is how to get snow leopard onto new yosemite so i can cling to itunes 10!!!!]
