Cant delete Itunes.dll - install of update wont complete

Help!

It often indicates disk/file damage rather than a permissions issue, Gian.
Let's first try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's Windows 7 instructions in the following document. Select both "automatically fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you choose to go about things). You should be prompted to schedule the scan to run on restart. That sort of scan of the C drive should take a long time ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan:

Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

My forward delete no longer works when searching or editing on Itunes since installing an update

My forward delete no longer works when searching or editing on Itunes since installing an update. Anyone else have that problem? Any fixes?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

No matter what I do I cant delete itunes from my computer so I can install newest software.

no matter what I do I cant delete itunes from my computer so I can install the newest software?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Cant get itunes to install properly on windows 7

I upgraded to Windows 7 from vista. I did a new fresh install starting with a new hard drive. The install went fine until I went to install Itunes. Downloaded the latest Itunes and started the install. A good way into the install during the part of the installation when the status screen states "Publising Product Information", I'm getting the following error message:
"An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x800736FD."
Following this message, the installer reverses the installation process and after a 10-15 minute wait, a screen comes up that says the Itunes installation was complete. Obviously it wasn't but that is what the message says. When you close out of that message, Itunes tries to start and this message pops up:
"Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall itunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2"
I have uninstalled and retried the installation process multiple times with the exact same result. I have downloaded the installation file from the iTunes website 3 different times and retried each one to make sure that I didn't have a problem with the installation file.

There seem to be a few different versions of that one going round. So, I'm starting with some questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits and treatments.
(1) Which variety of Windows 7 do you have installed? (For example, Home Premium or Ultimate?) Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
(2) Head into your Windows Update. Are you currently able to download and install updates? If not, check your Update History. Doubleclick on the failed updates. What error codes are being cited for the failed updates?
(3) Do you currently have the Microsoft C++ runtime installed on the PC? If so, which version? 2005 or 2008?

My iPod classic 7th Gen will not sync with my new computer. itunes is installed and updated.

fellow iPod classic owners,
                                       the problem is a failure to sync with the new computer. the conditions are as follows: the new computer is a pc. it has the latest iTunes software installed. the iPod is installed properly. i'm fully recognized by my iTunes account. there is nothing lacking other than my iPod's refusal to sync with my new computer. what have i left undone? i could be suffering from a duh, but i'm not the only one. nothing in the apple world is as difficult as this one is, at least on the surface. if it were that simple an issue, no one would be having any problems with it. any more information needed can be provided by request. by the way, the computer being used has been authorized. that is a non-issue.
                                                                                                             your help is appreciated,
                                                                                                                 hardphil.

I believe the IPOD (Classic) uses USB 2.0, and my new laptop uses USB 3.0. I think they are not compatable because of this. If you find a solution to this please let me know.
Thanks,

Cant get itunes to open after update. have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times

Cannot get itunes to open after updating. Have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times asper itunes instructions.

Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.

Update wont complete

I have tried Downloading the latest iTunes version many times. When I do, it runs for a few minutes and then this pops up "Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools>Download Only and try installing manually. I have tried to download manually and it still doesn't work. PLEASE help. I need to update my iTouch and I cant until iTunes is updated.

I downloaded iTunes from Apple. Install stopped with some problem with iPod permissions. I hit "abort" to continue install. Install completed. Now my iPod won't sync. This is worse than having backdated iTunes. What to do now?

ITunes 7.0 Says Update is complete - but is not

Hi - Different angle on the iTunes 7.0.1 headache. iTunes syncs to my iPod (30g click wheel b/w) and says update is complete. But there is no music on my iPod! Any help? Is there an option to download the previous version of iTunes? The kicker was finding this out on a 4 hour flight. Thanks.

let's first try checking on the possibility from this document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Help.i cant get itunes to install

i have been trying to install itunes and i keep getting error code 2738 come up when it is installing.i have tried doing what others have said but it still will not install.what can i do please.i have a new iphone and cant get it to work without itunes installed.thanks x

When you say that you have tried what others have said, it doesn't help the person trying to help you. You need to say what you have tried, this saves time and avoids you being told to do something you have already tried.
I haven't encountered this error number before, but according to the Microsoft list of installer errors is means:
"Could not access VBScript run time for custom action"
It's just a guess, but the following might help.
Type cmd into your search box, cmd should come up under programs. Run it with "Run as Administrator".
Paste in the following line:
regsvr32 scrrun.dll
If that doesn't work, try the following:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll

I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) installed
Okay. There's a security update available for that which has helped a couple of people with a different (installation) iTunes problem, so I think it might be worth trying downloading and installing that:
[Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
Is that of any help with the iTunes errors?
