Apparently quite a few people have been bumping into the problem that, when trying to update Itunes on windows, it complains about a missing Itunes.msi file. If you Browse for this file however, you’ll find it in the location that it’s supposed to be (C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update\Packages).

I tried a few things to fix this, including downloading the latest iTunes from Apple’s website. After about 30 minutes of digging, I discovered that there’s a very simple fix.

  1. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
  2. Install the program (MS Office not required!)
  3. Run the program from Start->All Programs->Windows Install Cleanup Utility
  4. Click on iTunes, and then click the “Remove” button
  5. Run the iTunes installer!

All in all the process took about 2 minutes, and once again I could download and listen to my favorite podcasts :)
