Vista to IPAD issue "could not load the installer for WPD"

You're not alone. Try reading this and use the program: Troubleshoot problems installing and uninstalling programs on Windows-based computers (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651/)

it would appear the time stamp fairy has struck again, the answer before the post. :ugh::ugh:

...reboot after you uninstalled the programmes?

Hi,

I'm trying to sync a IPAD2 to Windows Vista. However when I connect the IPAD for the first time it says "Windows could not load the installer for WPD. Conact your hardware vendor for assistance."

I've called apple and they suggest I remove all itunes + bonjour + quicktime etc which I have done. But the problem persists.

I don't know what the problem is? Has any one else had the same thing?

Thanks for any info.

Hi,

I've hit this problem again while trying to sync a IPAD to a Windows machine, does any one have some advice?

Thanks..

I don't have an answer, but the problem appears to be an plug n play driver issue with USB removable devices, not an issue with the Apple software

Depending on the version of windows I'd be inclined to start from the angle of making sure theres no hard drive or file corruption - use CHKDSK /R to scan the drive followed by SFC /SCANNOW to verify the files

Then make sure all USB connections are OK and not damaged, and all chipset drivers are installed
