WINDOWS: Error in installing iTunes – One or more users already installed iTunes

By PNC No comments

You’re trying to install iTunes on your laptop or desktop and yet the installer throws an error “One or more users already installed iTunes…yadda yadda yadda”.

To fix this:

  • Check if there are any previously install iTunes or iTunes related applications.  If there are some, REMOVE THEM!
  • If there are none and yet the error message still shows up, here is what you need to do:
      • On START, type Windows Powershell
      • Right-click the app, and run as administrator
      • At the Powershell prompt, copy/paste the command below:
        • Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *iTunes* – What it does is that it will check for any installed iTunes to all the users of the system.  If it finds something, then remove that copy using this command…
        • Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *iTunes* | Remove-AppxPackage – This will remove the installed iTunes application.

VOILA!!! Problem solved!
