Thanks to Ronni, David and Daniel
Learning theorists say that when confronted with competing strategies
one usually chooses one that has characteristics similar to a
previous successful strategy. In the olden days one restarted
holding down the Shift key to turn off preferences. So, I went for
Ronni's approach. And it worked fine. David, I heeded your advise
and skipped installing iTunes as I have 6.0.5 on already. To be even
handed I did remove the itunes helper from the Log on list, Daniel.
I trust that won't upset iTunes.
Thank you all for your help.

Daniel & David are correct.
Another way to install iLife 04 after iTunes 4.7.1 is already installed.
This happens because the iLife Installer is seeing a background
program called "iTuneshelper," and is mistaking it for iTunes.
To workaround the issue, bypass the login items by following these steps:
From the Apple menu, choose Log Out.
Log back in and immediately hold the Shift key down. Release the
Shift key when you get to the Finder.
This will keep iTuneshelper from loading.
Install iLife '04.
Restart the computer to allow the login items to load again.
Cheers,
Ronni

G4 iMac on 10.2.8
Purchased a CD of iLife O4 as it is supposed to able to run on 10.2.8
(CD, not the DVD)
When I click on Install the following message occurs:
This installation can not proceed because one of the following
applications is running - iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie. Please quit the
applications before installing.
To the best of my knowledge none of them are running. I have
disconnected from the Net, in System Preferences I have turned off
items in the Login Items, set CD/DVDs to ignore, turned off Play
Movies automatically in QTime, turned off Speech in Universal.
Restarted after these changes - no luck.
Shut down and restarted - no luck.
Suggestions appreciated

Hi Merv
Arrr yes, this one I know well.
The most common reason for this is a little item running in your System
Login set. (It's there by default.)
If you go to System Preferences, then into Accounts. Have a look in your
Login Items (Or under 10.2.8 they may be directly in System Preferences).
Here you should see an item called something like "iTunesHelper".
Click on it and delete it (using the little - symbol). It should then be
removed from the list.
Once you've done this, restart and all should be well.
(You actually need to delete the item from the list.)
Try that and it should work.
(I just tried to google where I'd see Apple's response to it,...but can't
find it now.)
Hope that helps.
Kind Regards
Daniel
