Can't Install iTunes 10.6.3 Windows Vista Windows Installer Problem

Basically, just before installation completes a popup of "There is a problem with this Windows InstWhat exactly would I be missing??? please help !aller package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.".  I've read many threads that state that all I have to do is run a repair on the Apple Software Update(ASU) but my problem is that I've already uninstalled it. Now what comes to my mind is that, it wasn't a clean uninstall as I just uninstalled through Add & Remove.
So I would preferably like to get an answer to the whole problem or if not what files are linked to the ASU that might cause this problem. Please help I've alot of things and I really hope there is another solution then to reformat my PC, I really don't wanna reformat my laptop just for iTunes and because I have an iPhone, I unfortunately, have to depend on having it installed.
Back story (Why I do not have ASU):
When I updated my iTunes and several other Apple software, I was unable to start itunes, kept getting a permissions issue. So I set all the permissions to my User Account (note that I am, from the start, using an admin account) but still errors kept popping up. Usually when an update doesn't work I just go through Add & Remove and uninstall all Apple programs before trying to reinstall iTunes and etc, which I did, Except this time...

Download and save a full itunessetup.exe or itunessetup64.exe file(depends on your operating system).
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Use Winrar to unzip the file into a folder. Then right mouse click the file AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi from that folder to install.
If you don't have winrar, you can go to this link to download a free trial version.

  • Can't install itunes on my new laptop w/ Windows 8 64bit

    So, I am trying to install the newest version of itunes on my Dell with Intel i3 Windows 8- 64 bit system.  I had itunes on my old laptop (running Windows Vista) and it worked just fine, but when I tried to install it on my new dell, I get as far as downloading (itunes64setup.exe) and after it is done downloading and I try to install it, it gives me a pop up that says something along the lines of "this app can not be installed on your system- contact software manufacturer for the correct version for your system"  I spent several hours on the phone yesterday with an apple rep and they weren't able to resolve it either.  They had my delete the itunes that I had just downloaded, turn off my internet protection and try downloading the same one again.  It downloads, it just won't install afterwards.  When that did not work either, she had me try installing the standard 32 bit version, still nothing.  Then she had me install the older itunes 9.2 to see if that would install and then I could just update it afterwards, but that would not install either after downloading.  I tried restarting my computer and then downloading it again, same issue.  I've been using the newest version of Firefox, but I tried downloading and installing it in IE.  Same issue. Tried IE w/out internet protection, same issue.  As a last resort I saved the itunes installation from my old laptop on a flash drive and tried to install it on my new laptop from the flash drive and it almost seemed like it would work, it started the installation wizard, but after a minute it stopped and said that it was a 32bit version and that I needed the 64 bit version for my system.  That is actually the farthest I had gotten with any of my tries.  It would not even get to the installation box with any of the other tries!!! If any one knows a solution for this, I would be so greatful!!! I tried the tips from past discussions and it did not resolve it.  HELP!!!

  • I can not install itunes 10.5.2 on my windows 7.

    i got the new white ipiod touch and i downloaded itunes 105.2 but when i try to install it i get two errors
    1)Microsoft.VC80.CTR,version="8.050727.6195"publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"pro cessorArchitecture=x86",Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800700002
    2)Then it says: Service "Apple Mobile Device"(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficent privelleges to start system services.
    Then i hit it ignore and the first error pops up again and then i hit "ok". After that it says it can not continue.
    I've tried everything such as using ASU(apple software updater) and using the download only and installing manually. I unistalled everything apple related and tried it fresh again and it doesnt work either. I tried saving it to my hard drive and disconnnecting from interenet and turned off all protections andi get the same excat error each time. The farthest i've gotton is when i installed it and it said i needed an apple application supporter and when i tried to install the AAS i got the same error above so it seems nothing will work. What can i do?

    Try doing it in a WIndows Safe mode - Restart computer and hit F8 key right after your see BIOS check and choose "Safe mode with networking"
    Do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
    If that does not work, whilst in safe mode, download Free Malwarebyte software from CNET's Download.com.  Install, update virus definition then perform a full scan.  Remove if it did find some viruses or trojans.  Restart computer.
    Back to regular windows, do the SFC /SCANNOW again.
    If that doesnot work, check to see if your Hard drive has errors or bad sectors
    GO START BUTTON /COMPUTER, right mouse click OS (C:) and choose "Properties"
    Choose "Tools" tab and under error checking, click "Check Now".
    Make sure "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" is checked and click start.
    Restart windows will perform the above task to fix errors  This may take hours depends on how big is your Hard Drive
    Good Luck!!.

  • Can't install iTunes 12.0 on 32-bit Windows XP

    I recently successfully upgraded my iPhone to IOS 8.  When I tried to connect the phone to iTunes 11.1.5.5 on my 32-bit Windows XP laptop, I got a message that I needed to have iTunes 11.2 or higher.  Following the upgrade download link, I kept getting to the download request but never to a file save dialog.  I talked with support a couple of times, but all links they gave me to various version of iTunes did not work (either they were for 11.1.5.5 or 64-bit 12.0). I managed to find a link to 12.0 that did not specify word size, but it turned out to be a 64-bit version that would not install.
    Where can I find a 32-bit version of iTunes 12.0 that works with Windows XP?

    See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required.

  • Can I install iTunes in separate user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit?

    Hi,
    My wife and I use different user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit. Before I go and mess things up on my computer, I wanted ask some questions:
    1) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
    2) If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
    I'm thinking with iTunes very tight integration with the music files (for indexing/searching, etc), that it would be bad to have add/change/delete on the same music root from 2 independent installations.
    Experience OR opinions welcome!

    ) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
    You don't install the iTunes application more than once. Each user account in Windows will have its own iTunes library.
    If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
    Many people have done so. This should help:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    Note that iTunes has no folder-watching capability, so if you add a track in one user account, the other user will have to add that new item manually, either by using the Add To Library command or dragging the item into the iTunes window. There are a couple of potential solutions from other developers, though:

  • Can't install itunes 9 in windows 7 "The folder iTunes cannot be found"

    I can not install itunes 9.0.3.15 in windows 7. Getting the error message "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the Music folder." I see a solution has already been posted for this problem, but it is specifically for Windows XP. Anyone have a solution for the problem in Windows 7?

    Doublechecking some things before proceeding, j. Are you trying to upgrade your iTunes on the PC? Or is this the very first time iTunes has been installed on the PC?
    Are you getting the error message during the install, or when trying to launch 9.0.3.15 after the install?

    I pulled my brains out trying to figure this bug out and I may have a solution for you.
    All of it installed fine in my desktop, but a friend's laptop got the error you mentioned on quicktime, itunes, flash, officeXP and about anything else I tried to load for him.
    If you look in: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp there will be an iTunes install log...open it in Notepad and see if it isn't exiting with a 1619 error while running msiexec.exe
    If this is the case, this fix should work for you.
    Seems some configurations of XP (and possibly Vista) aren't allowing full administrator rights to the account you set up when you installed XP (even though User Editor says you do have those rights.)
    I read 2 MS articles and turned off simple file sharing, then gave ownership of the entire C: drive to the administrator. Logged the admin account off, logged his "admin" account in, and then gave rights to his personal directory to his account (c:\docs and settings\<username>)
    Once I did that, every install that had previously errored out performed flawlessly.
    The MS articles in question:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316309 (1619 error)
    and
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308419 (how to set special permissions)
    Hope this helps!

  • Can't install itunes 10.4 on Windows 7 home premium

    I am not highly technical, so please bear with me:
    After repeatedly being unable to update itunes 10.2, I thought I should just uninstall it and install itunes 10.4. Wow, what a mistake. After many hours I now can't run my MS Office programs AND I can't load or run itunes.
    Originally, while trying to update itunes, I kept getting the message "errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose tools > download only and try installing manually." This confused me as I could not find "tools."
    After some reading online, I decided what I should do is download the Windows Installer clean up tool. Apparently this was the BIG mistake. I selected Apple items to remove with msicuu.exe, only to find that now my MS Office 2010 programs no longer run ("Microsoft Office not installed for this user"), and I still can't install itunes.
    I tried installing itunes 10.2 and got a message that I must install a 32-bit version of itunes.
    I used the cleanup tool once again and tried to install itunes 10.4, and got the message: could not open key: UNKNOWN\components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\6A262021B4A79884EA585F5E86D 86338. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.
    Now when I try to run MS Office software, getting message "Preparing to install", then, Configuring Microsoft Office Professional Plus, then something about the program not being installed for this user (I'm the only user).
    I realize that this board probably can't help me with MS Office software, but can you help me with itunes?

  • Can't install itunes in windows vista

    i'm just upgrade my gf's PC from Windows XP to Vista. I find that I can't install itunes. As it said visualbsic script is missing or disabled. How can i solve it??

    I think it would be a good idea to scan for malware as malware often interferes with Windows Update.
    Download Malware bytes and run a full scan, there is a free version:
    http://www.malwarebytes.org/
    In services, check the Window Update service. It should show as "started" and start up type automatic.
    The other thing is to run the system file checker:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
    This will attempt to fix problems and if it will not run, that is another clue to the problem.
