Apple Software Update trouble
It appears that iTunes + QuickTime has trouble installing when Outlook is running. Occasionally, the Apple Software Update program will appear telling me there are updates that need to be installed. When I tell it to go ahead and install the updates I get a dialog with the following message.
Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually.If I follow the instructions and run the iTunes.msi installer I get another dialog warning about outlook.
Outlook is currently running on this computer. If you proceed without quitting Outlook it is highly recommended that you restart Outlook after installation.
I run into this problem every time. I've tried a few experiments to see if I can narrow down the problem. This last time I came to the following conclusions.
- If outlook is closed when I run iTunes.msi I don't see any dialogs.
- If I close outlook before I run the update from the Apple Software Update program it still errors out.
