Hi, While installing Java & MySQL and some other apps in windows 10, I am frequently getting this error: Error: 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 it is a valid windows installer package.


Kindly help me in resolving this issue?

Unable to install iTunes; Error: The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it.

*Original Title: iTunes and Windows 10

I have tried several times, unsuccessfully to install iTunes on my new laptop that has windows 10. Once the download is finished and I click to install, I get the following message:

"The 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."

Any help would greatly be appreciated. I have tried the process several times, removing the download each time before trying again

Windows Installer Error: This installation package cannot be opened.

I'm certain this message is familiar:

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

The program I'm attempting to install is VitalSource Bookshelf so I can download my textbooks and lab books for my classes. I have a Dell Inspiron 15R, 64-bit, i5 core, 1 TB that that initially had a Windows 8 OS but I have since updated to Windows 10.

The file is here:

Bookshelf Download Page – Bookshelf Support

I'm able to download the setup but when installation begins the setup closes and I receive the error message.

Here's the solutions I've attempted that have failed to install the program.

1. Uninstall and Reinstall.

2. Run as administrator

3. Stopped and restarted Windows Installer service

4. Used CMD to un-register server and re-register server

5. Ran System File checker. Nothing found.

6. Ran setup on alternate administrative account.

7. Ran compatibility versions.

8. Extracted hidden exe file from msi file.

9. Firewall Permissions

10. Network Permissions

11. Deactivated conflicting programs

12. Scanned msi files-no missing components or code

I'm open to any suggestions anyone may have to add to this list.
