basically, if an MSI is launched without full

being installed or removed. if the app does not have admin privileges or
the Everyone Full rights is not set on c:\windows\temp directory, them
bam! Error 2503. seen it for like the last 5 years and even my GGPCTU
software has learned how to work around and deal with it, but not the
latest Apple framework and iTunes. instant BSOD crapola. TGIF!
