Can't Install iTunes or Quicktime Error Code 2356

Hi!
I cannot for the life of me install either Quicktime or iTunes. I haven't been able to for a long time, which was never a problem, until I got a new iPod and iTunes wouldn't let me sync the two them until I installed a newer version. I have read many posts + looked all over the internet and can't seem to solve the problem. I have run a registry cleaner. I have removed iTunes, Quicktime, and anything related. I have tried to download quicktime as a stand along program. Everytime I try to install these programs I get a message about an error code 2356. Has anyone ever had a problem like this or have any ideas how to fix this? Thanks ahead of time for your help.

Thanks for taking the time to try and help me. I have tried that. The program will actually not even download on my computer (Windows Installer Cleanup). I get this error message...
Windows Script Host
Script: C:\DOCUEME~1\User\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\StartMsi.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'
Code: 800A01AD
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
I am sure the problems are connected.... or maybe not. I do not know. I have looked online about this problem and see a few different solutions, but didn't want to try anything, because I do not want to make things worse on my computer. Do you know what this means or how to fix it?

  • Can't Install Itunes 7.0x-Error!

    I can install Itunes 7.0x perfectly fine on my compaq, but on my Gateway I get this error:

    okay, let's try working through the general troubleshooting advice from this document (that you haven't already tried at this stage):
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
    ... but if still no joy with that, let's get an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple engineers so they can have a look at it.
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • Can't repair/remove QuickTime error code 2356

    I am unable to install, remove and/or repair QuickTime 7.6.4. I have downloaded the latest version and when I try to install I get the option to repair or remove, both of which generates "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code 2356". I have tried both as a user and "run as administrator" neither one will work.
    I downloaded the windows hotfix standalone installer to see if it would fix the installer package but that didn't work either.
    Windows Installer Cleanup does not list QuickTime as even being installed and it is not listed in add/remove programs either.
    I have searched high and low and can't find a solution to this issue. Please help, I love using QuickTime.

    Hi:
    I replied to the email sent but just in case I'm pasting the reply here.
    I had to do a clean install as there were other issues with the computer. Now I'm working from a clean windows install. I have downloaded QuickTime installer and it installed. However, when I visit a site that uses quicktime, I use FireFox by the way, I get the missing plugin puzzle piece. When I click on it I get the window that states, Apple Quicktime, and the box is checked, but I know from other installs that it normally adds the installer icon, this doesn't do that. If I click next I get the message "no plugins were installed". I can't figure this out. I'm not a newbie at this, I have used quicktime and firefox for years but for the life of me I can not get this to work.
    What can I do next?
    Also, just so you know, there was nothing listed in installer cleanup that did not have a name nor was there anything that has that number listed.

    In english: can not make folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu. There already excists a folder with this name. Rename the folder or delete the folder and try again.
    Now the problem is: i deleted my itunes and quicktime to finally install the new updates. When i install itunes it still give this message during the install and i cannot find the folder  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu  and i deleted everything i could find from itunes.

  • Can't install iTunes or QuickTime on Vista.  Vista is killing me. HALP!

    I read through all the [million] other posts with Vista problems but mine is a bit different.
    Its a brand new Dell computer with 32bit Vista Home Premium which I have learned is a bad idea but now I'm stuck with it and without my music. I hear some people don't have problems with ITunes and Vista at all so I still have hope.
    When I try to install iTunes 8 plus QuickTime this is the error:
    "the installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires QuickTime."
    When I try to install QuickTime on its own this is the error:
    "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2755."
    Thanks for any info. Peace in the new year to all!

    I am having this same problem. Has anyone found a solution?

  • Can't install iTunes, gives two errors

    Whenever I try to install iTunes, it gives me two error messages:
    Error 1325.iPodService.Resources is not a valid short file name.
    and
    Error: -1603 Fatal Error during Installation.
    Does anyone know what's up? I used to use iTunes, but uninstalled it after some problems with my computer, now I can't install it to use my iPod.

    Try installing the Quicktime standalone. Find it here:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    Those errors are usually due to a broken Quicktime, which iTunes needs to have in order to run. TURN OFF all your security software, because programs like Norton will interfere with the successful download and install. Also, save it to your harddrive and install it from there instead of running it over the internet.
    Good Luck,
    Rachyl

  • Cannot Install iTunes after Update Error Code : -3

    When I attempted to update iTunes to version 6.0.5, the iTunes part installs fine and then when the quicktime part is very close to finishing and I get an error saying
    QuickTime installation failed:
    Error Code : -3
    Then, when I try to open iTunes I get an error message saying
    QuickTime Unavailable
    QuickTime was not found.
    Quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes.
    I have tried installing the standalone Quicktime installer but when i try that it says the the ISScript.msi is outdated and that I need to install the lastest version. I have no idea which one I am supposed to install because there are a lot of different ones.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Installing itunes, couldnt install itunes with quicktime error

    hello, i really hope somebody can help me, ok i went to reinstall itunes because i kept getting a window that comes up saying itunes encountered a problem and needs to close, so i went to install it and i got a error saying something about itunes couldnt be installed because it needed quicktime, but i had quicktime, so i tried to unistall it and it wouldnt let me so i went and deleted the program files for quicktime, and then tried to install itunes, it installed but when i tried to run itunes, i get the origional error message saying it encounted a problem. please please help

    okay, that's a useful pointer. checking on another couple of things with your current quicktime.
    (1) try launching your QuickTime. does it fail to launch, with no error message whatsoever?
    (2) try heading into your Control panel and launching the QuickTime control panel. does it open or do you get an error message? if you get an error message, what's the full text of the message? (this can give us a fairly solid heads up on the cause of your symptoms.)

  • Itunes 7 - win xp pro will not install "iTunes needs quicktime" error

    iTunes 7 will not complete the install - it says the old version of iTunes could not be uninstalled and then says "iTunes needs quicktime". I tried installing quicktime alone and it also won't install saying it cannot remove the old version. Tried a manual uninstall and I get the same error.

    A tip posted by b noir on the following link solved my problem. I just downloaded "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" from Microsoft, removed my existing version of Qiucktime. Restarted my computer then started fresh with Itune 7 installation. No more problems.

  • Can't Install iTunes because QuickTime recognizes an older version.

    I tried to upgrade my iTunes from 7.4 to 7.6 but I could not so I completly uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime. When I reinstalled iTunes I got an error message saying "A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed wihle the newer version of QuickTime is installed." I have uninstalled everything apple related. I have downloaded the Windows utility cleaner and I am still having problems. I forgot to add that I am using Windows Vista 32 Bit. I cleared my Temp and had my brother come over and help me open the registry and we deleted every QuickTime related file. I still have this error message and do not know what to do. Any help would be much appreiciated. It is a good thing I backed up my Library on a disk.

    Take a look in Task Manager just to see if anything Apple related is running, perhaps iPod or Apple mobile device related. Also right click on My Computer go to Manage + to expand Services and Applications then click on Services, to also see if anything Apple related is running.
    One more thing comes to mind. There has been problems with QT instalations when K-Lite & Ace codecs have been installed on a computer. If you go to Search, you may want to look up some of b noir's post on this issue, if in fact these codecs were installed on the computer.

    Re: Invalid Drive: F:\
    Posted: Nov 8, 2007 11:16 PM in response to: sneakymartian Reply Email
    First off, I'm probably one of the least tech-savvy people in this forum. This issue has been plaguing me for the past week with no end in sight. I hunted around the net trying to find a straight answer and finally I came across something that worked.
    NOTE: I'm running Windows XP so I can only speak for my success in that regard.
    1) Click the Windows Start button.
    2) Select "Run". (A drop down entry box will appear.)
    3) Type "regedit" (DISCLAIMER: Proceed at your own risk. Editing the registry can be dangerous and cause even more problems to your operating system if you don't know what your doing, like me. That being said this solution still seemed fairly low risk to me, I took a chance and it worked beautifully.
    4) You will now see the "Registry Editor" window pop open with a directory of folders. In the menu along the top click: Edit\Find...
    5) In the "Find What" box enter the name of the drive that was giving you the error message. In my case it was "F:\" but it could be different on yours. (Example: "G:\" or "L:\", whatever the letter is of your "Invalid Drive" message.
    6) Click the "Find Next" button.
    7) Results will appear in the window to the right if there are any hits.
    8) Read each result carefully and decide if it seems like it should be there. If it's obviously obsolete or does not belong then select it and delete it.
    a) In my case I found about a half dozen items. Two of them were outdated folder directories that no longer existed (I had changed the path name a long time ago), while the remaining hits were all "WDSynch" items (Western Digital external hard drive application. "Passport" or some nonsense.)
    NOTE: I am very suspicious of external hard drives as one of the culprits of the iTunes installation problem (Invalid Drive *:\, particularly Western Digital's "WDSynch" application. Almost every post I've read the person mentioned something about their external hard drive so I'd consider that possibility first.
    I had tried using this bloated, non-user friendly "WDSynch" and "Passport" application when I first bought my WD external hard drive and discovered that I hated it. Don't get me wrong, the drive itself is great but just avoid the synch app nonsense unless you want deal with constant stress and headaches (Yes, it's a very jaded and biased view so take it or leave it).
    After discarding the unfriendly-ware I wound up reformatting the drive anyway from FAT32 to NTFS and I now just use a simple drag-and-drop system for file transfers and copying. (You can leave it at FAT32 if you want, I just didn't like the partition restrictions.)
    9) Do multiple searches to make sure you find every last little bugger (F3 will find the next one) so on and so forth until all evidence of that drive letter is gone.
    10 Exit the Registry Edit.
    11) Reboot your machine.
    12) Try running the iTunes install again and it should work!
    Disclaimer: This is my own experience with this problem so don't blame me if you mess up your computer. I was at my wits end and had nothing to lose so I took a chance and it paid off.
    I wish all of you success. Good luck!

  • Can't install itunes or QuickTime updates on PC running Vista

    When trying to install updates to the following:
    itunes version 10.5.1
    QuickTime version 7.7.1
    I receive the following message in itunes/QuickTime popup window:
    The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory:
    C:\Program Files\Quick Time.
    The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator.
    Does anyone know what the problem may be?
    In addition, I can no longer use itunes, or QuickTime. I get the same popup message as referenced above.
    Note: My login has administrator privileges.

    I am having this same problem. Has anyone found a solution?

  • When I try to install Itunes updates, an error code always comes up; HRESULT: 0x800736FD. What do I do to resolve this? Thanks.

    I have tried un-installing and re-installing, but it hasn't worked.
    The error code is coming up as HRESULT: 0x800736FD.

    That's a less common one (in this context).
    Perhaps try the following Microsoft document:
    Windows Update error 80246005
    Does that get your Windows Updates installing again? If so, stock up on the ones you're behind on (restarting the PC if requested to do so). You might have to do this in more than one batch (depending on when the 80246005 started happening and how far you're behind).
    Once you're up to date, try the iTunes install again. Does it go through properly this time?
