This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package

When you try to install iTunes v 10 to my new computer running Windows 7 Home premium with the latest updates, I get this message.

Steps, I took so far

  • run as administrator
  • run in Windows XP compatibility mode
  • Disabled windows firewall (managed by Norton 360)

I tried all combinations of the above steps but get the same message every time.

I also cannot install a Java update that requires downloading the program.

Any ideas?

Hey,.

I fixed the problem I had with this error msg. If someone else is having the same problems, I try to create a new user account and see if the download works on the new account because I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked until I created a new account and now my problem is solved. I guess that somehow my user account has been corrupted, which I didn't expect not given my PC is only a month, but it was.

Hope this helps :)

    After a new installation of CF2016 all CF services work fine, but after I updated the "Java and JVM" she asks to restart the CF service, but when I do, I get the below error. Please help let me know the fix for the bottom.

    Ditto for roll back the JVM settings. If you have made changes to JVM CFadmin then the previous settings would be cfusion\bin\jvm.bak. We can rename it to something else and then rename jvm.bak in ShadoMX/util/Flex/SDK/bin/jvm.config, kill CF and try start CF.

    Hello

    A Windows Installer patch (.msp file) is a file used to provide updates for Windows Installer applications. The fix is a stand-alone package that contains all the information needed to update the application.

    A hotfix package contains updates the actual application and describes which versions of the application can receive the fix.

    Some time ago, I installed Silverlight and it was working fine then one day an error popped up saying that she needed to be reinstalled. Also, I got the blue screen of death at the same time. I went to add or remove and tried to uninstall Silverlight and this message popped up "this patch package is could not be opened.

    Step 1: Run the correction tool = 1.  Download and extract the accessory Fix '.zip' of this mail on the desktop.  I can't find any site highlighted in this e-mail to download the zip fix attached to my office.

    There were 2 steps more sure I can't even if I can't download this fix zip business that does not exist.

    Every night when I turn on my desk, it shows updates that need to be downloaded when I turn if turned off, then after delayed my trip to the bed for an extra 5 or 10 minutes he informs me that there is no silverlight 2 updates that they were unable to use... which of course I know for months.

    I don't know how my office put a hand on one program that can be removed or updated, but all I want to do is get rid of it without having to replace my hard drive.

    I'd appreciate any help that you can provide, keeping in mind that I am NOT a GURU and as such have no idea of what a hotfix or a hotfix Package is and would like to have instructions to remove this Silverlight program so it will stop embarrassing me, but if you could provide the removal steps which are not difficult to follow It would certainly be useful.
