Unable to install Itunes!! MSIEXEC.EXE problem

loony · Nov 24, 2006

I have recently got an Ipod nano 2GB and have downloaded the itunes setup. But when I try to install Itunes it closes down saying that "msiexec.exe has encountered a problem and needs to shutdown". The error signature indicates following: AppName:msiexec.exe AppVer: 3.1.4000.1823 ModName: not known ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset : 024e2500

My OS is windows XO Pro with SP2 installed. Pentium IV 2.66 Ghz with 512Mb DDR RAM. Have checked for windows installer and it is the latest. Found the message that was to be sent to microsoft was as follows:

Do you have problems installing just iTune or any other applications? iTune require that you have QuickTime installed also.

Yes. I have problems in installing other programs as well. Prior to the msiexec.exe message another window opens for a very short period and vanishes which starts with "windows installer could not.....". It cannot be read fully as it comes for a very short period. I use XP smoker pro to tweak the comptr. Do u think that this may have changed some settings?
