Software updates produce error 2503 and 2502 codes
Some, if not more, updates software (software) did not finish. I get the same error every time codes.
Some of the software is Itunes, Blackberry Desktop...
I'm in administrator mode. I went into permissions to install and allow for in 'system' is checked in the 'administrators' nothing is verified, when I checked allow it, he gave me tons of errors and would not change.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hello MrsPippi,
Have you tried to check the permissions in the folder install? To do this try the following below:
In Vista, click Spie> Search> Type > c:/windows/installer> then right click on c:/windows/installer at the top under programs and click Properties> click the Security tab > check if system and administrator account has full access permissions > there that the Everyone account should have read and execute permissions, view the contents of the folder and reading.
Alternatively, you can try to perform a clean boot. See the following article on the steps to perform a clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

I get error 2503 and 2502 when I try to install or to update most of my programs
Update itunes, blackberrydesktop, lightroom etc problems. facilities get all the way to the end and then fail. I checked the permissions in the installation folder, it is set correctly. Windows and my antivirus are able to install updates. I downloaded revo uninstaller without problem, but I don't know how to use it to fix my problem.
(I tried to uninstall a non-essential program with revo but got the same mistakes of 2502-2503 and the program wouldn't uninstall).The problem was not the date of the system, which was right.
The problem ended up being incorrect permissions in the windows installation folder. C:\WINNT \Installer (I use windowXP)
I've had trouble finding this folder because it is a hidden, System folder a file hidden. When I searched files and folders with the name Installer, it never present nor does it not appear when I went in C:\WINNT. Finally, I noticed in the control panel "folder preferences". Which allowed me to show/hide hidden folders.
Once I found it it was simply right click on the folder, then Security tab and made sure Admin was all permissions which it does not.
I have no idea how the permissions have been changed after about 6 years of owning this computer!Finally fixed!
