Cannot install due to registry (iTunes 7)

I downloaded and attempted to install iTunes 7 last night, however I got this error:
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/1204/itunesld7.jpg
I am the computer administrator. I have tried re-downloading the installer, did not work. I also rebooted my computer, still did not work.
I hope to get this problem fixed soon, because now for some reason iTunes 6 is not working anymore
Thanks.

This error is the result of a permissions problem in the registry. Windows performs installations with the built-in operating system account SYSTEM on behalf of the user even when you are an administrator. SYSTEM is normally the most powerful account, but administrators have the power to restrict SYSTEM's access. Follow the steps below to re-grant Windows (SYSTEM) the access it needs to write to the key in question.
Warning If you modify the registry incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system.
1. Uninstall QuickTime from Add or Remove Programs or from the Start Menu group QuickTime.
2. Download and install SubInACL from Microsoft.
3. Assuming you installed SubInACL to the default path "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\" then from Start Menu Run... enter all on the same line:
"C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\subinacl.exe" /keyreg HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID /grant=SYST EM
4. Install iTunes 7. If any other registry keys have the same problem, reapply step 2 to the specific key. Make sure to type the key exactly. You may have to repeat this step a number of times depending on how much SYSTEM has been restricted on your computer.
These steps are safer than just deleting keys.

    So, I went to install the iOS 4 today and lo and behold.. I needed to update my iTunes before I could do it for some stupid, arbitrary reason. Fine, I download it and am spammed with errors stating I don't have permissions to access certain folders for some reason (take note, I am the Administrator.) I go and delete those folders then re-run the installer.. Things run smoothly until I get these two registry errors.

    I've been going out of my head trying to figure out what the **** is going on here.
    I've tried:
    - Completely removing all Apple software before re-installing
    - Re-downloading
    - Re-redownloading
    - Re-re-redownloading
    - Logging into the root Administrator account (the one that can only be accessed by first enabling it via command prompt) before installing
    - The solution posted at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10545566, all the relevant registry keys are locked. The permissions cannot be modified nor can I delete said registry keys.
    But to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and yes, I am running the x64 version of the installer. I really don't want to have to format because of this.

    And bump again, do I not deserve support or something? I brought the iPhone 4, surely I should be entitled to actually use the **** thing?

  • Cannot install original artwork into iTunes

    Cannot install original artwork into iTunes.

    +So i recieved my comp back after the second motherboard replace (we won't get into that one),+
    That sounds like the noir household nightmare with our Gateway Vista box (we had to swap out/reinsert virtually everything else but the motherboard).
    +An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToked=”1fc8b3b9a1e1833b”,type=”win32”,version8.0.5 0727.762”,processorArchitecture=”x86’”.Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x80073712+
    Let's try getting an installer log to the Apple Engineers with that one.
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.)
    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: [email protected]
    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 or specific flavor of Vista)

  • Cannot Install Version 7 of iTunes

    I have a Sony Vaio running Windows XP Home. I have a previous version of iPod on my computer but I just purchased the 80GB iPod. In order to get this thing up and running, I have to download the new version 7 of iTunes. I've done that, but now when I try and install it on the computer, I get a message that says I cannot install until I remove previous versions from my hardrive. I go to the Remove/Change Programs, click on the old iPod icon and hit "remove", but nothing happens---it won't let me remove the darned old version. Any suggestions? I want to use the new iPod and download all the iTunes I purchased and all my old music, but this is getting frustrating. I'm getting no help from Sony.

    I've done that, but now when I try and install it on the computer, I get a message that says I cannot install until I remove previous versions from my hardrive. I go to the Remove/Change Programs, click on the old iPod icon and hit "remove", but nothing happens---it won't let me remove the darned old version.
    okay, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use that to remove the previous versions of the ipod updater installation configuration information. (in my copy of Cleanup, they typically show up as "Ipod for Windows [date]".)

  • Cannot install latest version of iTunes 10.6.

    Running 64 bit Windows Vista Home . Failed to install latest version of iTunes 10.6 with error message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.......click OK , or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes64msi"
    After using this source in the box below and clicking OK it comes up with another error reading: "the file C:\Users|My name\AppData\Local\Apple Software Update\iTunes64msi' is not a valid installation package for iTunes. Try to find installation package 'iTunes64.msi" in a folder from which you can install iTunes".
    As I could not find this file I then uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple mobile device support, and Quicktime and all related files as instructed from iTunes support page and tried to re-install all again. Unfortunately they all installed except iTunes which came up with the same error messages again.
    Is this an Apple or Windows problem?...........HELP!

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.......click OK , or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes64msi"
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Cannot install latest version of iTunes

    when i try to install the latest version of iTunes this's the message i got this iTunes installer is intended for 32 bit version of windows> Please download and install the 64 bit iTunes installer instead

    *Replying to Karen*
    I had a look at the updates and all the codes are the same expect for the office genuine the code is 80070643.
    Is that an Office 2003, Karen? If so, perhaps try *Methods 1 or 2* from the following document:
    [You receive an "Error 80070643" error message when you try to update Office 2003 by using Software Update Services|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903772]
    (Let's not try Method 3 at the moment ... a bit nervous that we might not be able to get it to reinstall given how grumpy Windows Updates and iTunes are being over installing.)
    If you can get your Windows Updates for your Office going through properly, do the other failed Windows Updates start installing as well? If so, stock up thoroughly (just keep going to Windows Update and installing things it offers to you until you don't get offered any more) and then try another iTunes install. Does that go through properly for you too?

  • I cannot install or remove old itunes, install is looking for an msi

    Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.
    http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
    download iTunes again from Apple.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
    Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
    Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
    You  should be making backups of your content regularly, either through  iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a  external drive.
    Windows  is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as  volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.
    After doing the steps above, stand by and others may be able to assist you.

  • I have updated to the latest OIS on my IPad but cannot install the update for ITunes.  I get error messages that I must log on as administrator (don't know how) and I can't use my ITunes now. Help please

    I have updated to the lastest OS on my IPad3. No problem there. Then found I could no longer access my Itunes as there was a message 'Cannot be used as it requires version 10.6.3 or later. Go to ... and download'.  I have tried four times and it won't work.  I get another message saying I must sign in as administrator or contact my system administrator.  I am the only one who uses this PC and have no idea what my administrator password is.  Now I cannot use ITunes. Please help if you can.  Thank you.  Eileen Frost

    Many thanks diesel.  I cannot remember ever having an administrator password. Looks like I shall have to do a restore on my PC and not bother with the updates.  Or maybe I could find my password from somewhere ? When I went into control panel I found a box with administrator and my name and it said password protected so I must have had one at some time. Any ideas on how I could find it ? Many thanks anyway. I always use a password to sign on but obviously that is not it.  Eileen

  • PLEASE HELP!! Cannot install latest version of iTunes!

    I know there are loads of questions on a similar theme but I am completely NOT technical and I find them really hard to follow. I use Windows 7 and until now I have had no problems with iTunes. I was bought a new iPod Nano and I couldn't use it until I had updated to the latest version of iTunes. When I tried to do this it wouldn't let me, I just got an error message. I have subsequently backed up my iTunes library, uninstalled iTunes and tried to install the latest version, I get the same error message:
    An error message occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft. VC80.CRT.type=”win32”.version=”8.0.50727.6195”.publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b ”.processorArchitecture=”x86’”. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070002
    I'm completely stuck now, can't even use my old iPod as I have no iTunes. I'm sure you're going to tell me to look in Windows Update - I did this but didn't have a clue what to do with that I found there! This is SO frustrating, I wish I'd just stuck with my old iPod.
    Please help!

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can't install due to "registry" and "dll" error messages.

    I can't install any Adobe products. This occured after a complete reinstall of my Windows XP - if that has anything to do with it. I have done a reinstall before without any problems.
    I keep getting error messages about "missing registry" and "dll"s.

    I tried to install again to see what the exact error message was, but now all I get is a Microsoft message that says "Adobe Flash Player Installer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have been having other problems installing other products and have been getting messages like "Entry Point Not Found" followed by messages like"entry point...could not be located in the dynamic link library".
    I don't know exactly what "repaired" means in installing an OS. What I did was use my reinstall Windows OS disc and follow the instructions for a "clean" install. The prompts say that my files will be wiped out, and that programs will have to be reinstalled. When promted to pick a partition I always pick the default of a 50/50 split of the hard drive.
