About a third of the way through the update it froze and said it couldn’t find the .msi file at a subdirectory that was the subdirectory on the last laptop on which it was installed, but not the directory to which it was installed on this laptop.
So, I dutifully directed with the browse option to the right directory.
Nope, it said, that wasn’t the valid directory. Okay, forget this update, I thought. I hit the cancel button and it uninstalled itself. That’s what I thought it did. Then I tried to start iTunes. The shortcut didn’t work, so I went to the program’s directory to find most of it deleted. (Not the music files!!!)
No problem, I said again. I’ve been working with software long enough to know these things happen. So, I downloaded a new copy, using the control panel I first deleted the currently semi-installed version. Then I tried to reinstall it. ¾’s of the way though the installation, same message, same problem.
I went into the registry, deleted all references to iTunes , ran two registry fix programs and tried to reinstall it again. NOPE, Sam error message...
MediaMonkey, here I come!!!!
