Deleted iTunes, Unable to reinstall

[osustudent]

Today, for some reason, when I tried to open iTunes, my iBook running Tiger told me that I lacked permission to open it. Looking for the quick fix, I moved iTunes to the trash, and emptied the can. I redownloaded the software and tried to install it.

Upon doing so, the Installer said it was going to skip the install. It said there was no need for it. I started thinking that some fragments must still exist somewhere.

However, I don't know what to do now? Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks!!!

Look for an iTunes Package receipt file, you'll need to delete that as well. Otherwise it'll appear to still be installed. You should be able to do a spotlight search for the files. However, if you want to keep playlist data, don't erase the iTunes database.

Got it! Thanks!

The receipt file should be in /Library/Receipts and it should be called iTunesX.pkg.

(Note that it's the top-level Library folder, not the one under your username.)

Or you can follow the instructions I posted a couple of days ago here.
