iTunes Installation error - "System not modified"

I tried updating to iTunes 12.4 originally but had an error. I then uninstalled iTunes and all other Apple programs including Bonjour, Software Update and all files in my Program Files folder that are in iTunes.When I tried reinstalling iTunes, I get the message -

I tried all of the options in this post Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates but it still doesn't work for me. I still receive the same message.

Note:

* iTunes for Windows 10

* In the post that I mentioned, it says to uninstall the Apple product in a specified order but I didn't follow that instruction.

* When I tried the "search for .msi" file, the registry is taking a long time to fin itunes6464.msi

* Tried installing older versions of iTunes, still get the same error message.

Windows 10

It may be failing if there are odd characters in your user name. Move the unpacked files into C:\ or make a folder at C:\Install and try again there. You may need to disable any anti-virus software if you still get that message.

Since you didn't see error message regarding a missing MSI file I suspect search is taking a long time because there is nothing to find. Try the steps in Install missing components. Which component fails to install and what error message does it give?
