F*ckin iTunes....

Can't uninstall Itunes....
...and its driving me crazy! Have looked online to try and find a solution (which usually works) but no joy this time.

Keep getting this message when I try to open iTunes:

"This action is only valid for products that re currently installed"

And when I try to uninstall it I get this:

"The feature you are trying to use is on a netwrok resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes.msi" in the box below"


Any idea what this could be and how I fix it?!

Thanks

Use Revo Uninstaller:

Use it to get rid of iTunes, and then reinstall it afterwards.

If this works...€5 to charity of your choice.

Try removing the itunes related installers using Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, then install iTunes again. Once it installs again it may work at uninstalling the junk fully

Download c-cleaner then use the uninstall option

did you do the advanced/thorough scan after the uninstall with Revo?

Itunes is a real pain with the amount of crap it installs. You need to make sure all files, folders, registry entires are removed. But on some pcs, i've still never goten it to work again after doing all that.

Rather use the Registry Cleaner in ccleaner, then try.

Thanks Nick! However, now I seem to have another problem, can't download what you recommended!

Keep getting a message that includes
Error: ActiveX component can't create object:'Scripting.FileSystemObject'
Source: Microsoft VBScript run time error

I'm huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf here!

Couldn't even get to that stage as the uninstall won't work!

i know what you mean. But, that's what makes Revo so handy. It scans for what's left after the uninstall. Doesn't matter if it was successful or not. It runs the programs native uninstaller. Let it do that, doesn't matter if it fails. Then, you proceed with the aftr scan. Delete all traces from th Reg & the disk. I'm not gonna guarantee it will work 'cos itunes it a massive pain int he bollox. but do the revo uninstall. check all the folders are gone. run a reg cleaner. reboot to eliminate anything in memory. run a reg cleaner. check all the folders are gone. it's a real pain in the hole..

No need to even go that far. The normall uninstaller will fail, but just have Revo sweep up the files after that. Then try reinstalling.
