iTunes doesn’t open after installing FlyakiteOSX?

FlyakiteOSX is one of the best transformation packs available for Windows XP. I installed FlyakiteOSX a few days ago on my PC. The installation went smooth, and there weren’t any errors reported.

iTunes didn’t open the next day. When I launched it, I happened to get this error:

“The procedure entry point OpenServiceW could not be located in the dynamic link library MPlugin.dll”

I hunted and found the solution. Here’s a little write up that you might find useful if you happen to get the error, and iTunes doesn’t open.

FlyakiteOSX installer includes, along with system tweaks, a few skins and tweaks for other applications. Here in this case, FlyakiteOSX packs in a GUI mod for iTunes called ‘iTunes Multi-Plugin’. This is the cause for iTunes not opening up.

Here’s how you can solve it:

Run the FlyakiteOSX setup file
Click ‘Next’, accept the terms, and then click ‘Uninstall Components’
Click ‘Next’ and under ‘Software’, check ‘iTunes Multi-Pugin’
Click ‘Uninstall’ and you’re done
Fire up iTunes, and then it should open normally

The procedure entry point OpenServiceW could not be located in the dynamic link library MPlugin.dll

So that’s it, the next time you’re installing FlyakiteOSX on another computer, make sure that you don’t install the plugin.

I had flyakite for a while, but in the end it refused to open a lot of my programs and ended up removing it….like even start>run>calc did not work! it was a nice looking theme though.

@TheAnand: Yeah, these packs are good, but they create problems nonetheless.

Do this if just uninstallation does not work:
Reinstall flyakiteosx with only mplugin seletced
then uninstall only mplugin and itunes will open up

tested ok!
