Removal of Apple Software Update

Solved/Closed
pjlt -  
Hello,
I have an application on my system called Apple Software Update whose origin and purpose I am unaware of.
I would like to uninstall this software. When I try to do so through the program manager, I receive a message that makes me think the software is, on the contrary, being installed, then another message says, "A problem occurred with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this installation could not be run."
How can I remove this program?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hello,
    If you're not using iTunes, go to start, control panel, administrative tools, services, double-click on apple software update and stop the service, then add and remove, uninstall iTunes, QuickTime player, and Apple products like apple software update, etc...

      Yes, that works.
      We really need to do it in the order you said.

      Hello
      I have the same problem, but I can't find 'apple software update' in the list of services.
      Any other ideas?
      Thank you

      Maybe a little late to respond, but here's how I was able to solve the problem:
      1) Start menu - Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs
      2) Click on Apple Software Update and select "Repair"
      3) Once it's finished, click on Apple Software Update again and this time select "Remove"

      Have a nice day

      Éric M's response is more suitable for my issue, as there was no Apple Software Update in Services, thank you.
