itunes install

When I first got my computer brand new, The first thing I did was to try to
instal Itunes. I get the same message, so I dont beleive reloading everything
is going to help. I wish apple would address this problem except I dont think
its their problem... Because the next program I tried to install was google
earth, then quicktime, all with the same error messages..
I have run as administator, and messed with cmd, nothing works... its pretty
lame that I had a 500 dollar computer that ran my Ipod and my new HPDV9000
wont.
It has been 5 months and still no tunes earth or quicktime.

as you i also cant get google earth loaded may be an installer issue. the
problem is in vista some where so a full install that keeps your settings may
be the answer. possibly wait for service pack 1 to come out and try this.

I figured it out... set up a new user account named ADMIN. Set it up as an
administrator account, switch user and install away.
