• Windows guard stop my iTunes program. It is an occurrence relatively new. The error message is a Windows Installer error message.

  I installed iTunes about 2 years ago.  I used it to download music on my iPod.  A few weeks ago, when I tried to access iTunes store to buy new music, I got the message from Windows Installer saying that the Setup file was not available - iTunes message is: "the component you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource.  .. .enter a different path to the folder containing the installation package iTunes64.msi... »

  You get this message because the installation file you downloaded about 2 years ago is long gone (you probably deleted shortly after you have installed iTunes).

  Why something is trying to access the installer is a different matter.  Probably the best way to proceed is to completely uninstall iTunes and reinstall the latest version.  This will NOT delete your music and playlists (but of course, you should have backups for all these data in any case).

  You neglected to indicate what version of Windows you have, but given that you asked your question in a forum for Windows 7, use the following instructions--> RBanque‑client, and then reinstall iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8

  If you have problems uninstalling something, see http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

• Windows Installer error saying that my drive's mbr, although it is really TPG.

  Hello

  I really hope you can help me with my problem.

  I have a retina of Macbook pro mid 2012 with a 256 GB ssd, installed with El captain.

  I am train via boot camp to make a partition with Windows 10.

  Windows setup via a San Disk 16 GB USB 3.0 purchased for this purpose.

  Everything going smoothly until the part where you install windows.

  Boot camp every reboot my Mac it comes up with a black screen saying "Non system disk. Press any key to restart '.

  No matter what button I press it is not restart. I found myself pressing the power button until it stop. Then put it on again and pressing the ALT key.

  Here I have two options Macintosh HD or EFI boot. I choose to start EFI. Windows Installer starts.

  During the windows setup process where you choose which partition you want to install top says (after that I formatted to ntfs):

  (translated from Danish) "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the MBR. In EFI systems windows can be installed only on GPT disks.

  Funny, it's just that my ssd is TPG. My USB drive is as well, I tried formatting with my mac, a computer windows and Rufus. All said that it is the TPG.

  I tried to format my USB drive and partition my ssd using only the discutility and not the boot camp program. Same result.

  I tried to make the unallocated space on my ssd so that install Windows could make the partition it self (I read this discussion in here) does not work either.

  I tried with gdisk and the terminal to do what was suggested in another threat here, but the terminal told me that the partitions were on top of the other or something like that. And who were my technical abilities and courage run out. I would ruin not rather my precious Mac and terminal gave a few warnings.

  Can someone help me? I would be very grateful.

  You have a few different questions.

  1. your drive is a GPT with a hybrid MBR disk. Check the output of the following command in Terminal

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  2. If you choose to boot from USB EFI and BCA creates a hybrid MBR, you will get the error you describe.

  3. your USB drive isn't supposed to be TPG, it takes a FAT/MBR.

  4. When you press the button works / stop, the partial installation of Windows will appear when you use the Alt key. Information Windows startup is now resident on the Mac's EFI partition, but it is not complete yet. Your icon USB EFI will restart Windows Setup.

  5. do you have a Time Machine backup of Mac OS X?

  Hi JohnYusko,

  1. have you done any hardware changes or software on your computer before this problem?

• Error message says: this patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package

  Original title: uninstall the program... Error message says: this patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package__

  I'm trying to uninstall Microsoft Silverlight. I used Windows Installer found in the control panel to delete, however, when I try to remove the program I get the error 'this patch package could not be opened.  Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer patch package.'

  The program itself shows is no longer in my program list, and when I visit the Silverlight Web site may not detect an existing version on my system. But when I try to download the latest version, that he says could not be installed because I need to remove the previous version first... I'm going in circles and get no where... I downloaded Revo Uninstaller Pro but it also had no effect... I'm stuck!
