Error 0x800736FD when installing iTunes + QuickTime

Well, I finally caved. I bought my first digital portable media player. The people on the street were throwing things at me, and my doctor said he might have to operate my shoulder. The boombox had to go!
So, I'm trying to install iTunes. My Dell machine came with an "Apple Software Update" program installed. It's been bugging me to install iTunes since I got it, so this time I clicked OK and let do its thing.
The automatic updater "Apple Software Update" is trying to install "iTunes + QuickTime" version 7.4.3. It goes through the download phase OK, then starts the installation. After about 10 minutes (wherein the installation has not progressed in the last 9 minutes), an error message appears in a separate window:
iTunes + QuickTime
(X) An error has occured during the installation of Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc...",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762" ,processorArchitecture="x86". Refer to Help for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD.
Has anyone seen this before or know how I can get around it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried downloading iTunes yourself and installing it manually?
You can download the iTunes installer from here:

  • Fix for VBScript Error When Installing iTunes/Quicktime on Vista

    With GREAT THANKS to http://www.keathmilligan.net. I was able to fix this problem by performing the following steps:
    The iTunes/QuickTime installer will fail with a "VBScript not installed" error on some installations of Vista. I'm not sure exactly what leads to this situation as it does not seem to affect all Vista users, but there is a relatively simple fix:
    Click Start, All Programs, Accessories then RIGHT click on Command Prompt and select "Run as Administrator"
    change directory to your windows\system32 directory
    enter the following command:
    regsvr32 vbscript.dll
    This will re-register VBScript and allow the iTunes installer to run.
    After almost pulling my hair out for a month, this worked like a charm and I was able to install iTunes/quicktime with the latest version and get to hear my music again after a month of trying everything. THANKS KEATH

    Issue was very happily resolved with great thanks to Keath http://www.keathmilligan.net/node/139

    Yes, this is a known defect:  CSCue69477 - CTI Route Port Synch Issue with CUCM.  As per the bug:

  • Error message when opening itunes, quicktime streaming failed to load...

    I downloaded itunes, installed it, and when I try to open I get the message "quicktime streaming failed to load because it was already loaded" Then it closes. Anyone know what's going on?
      Windows XP  

    okay ... let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Error-1603 when installing Itunes on PC

    Hi
    I just got a Ipod Nano, and installing Ipod updater went fine, but in the middle of Itunes installing it stop and an error came up.
    hkeylocalmachine\software\classes\.cdda\openWithProgids
    Error 1603
    and installment stoped.
    any help would be nice
    thx

    hi Sofie!
    hkeylocalmachine\software\classes\.cdda\openWithProgids
    okay, even though you didn't get a 1402 or a 1406 with that message, i think you should start with this document:
    Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    i've noticed that for some folks with european localisations of Windows, they don't get the error message numbers with those messages referencing registry keys. but problems with those keys generally are 1402s or 1406s on other localisations of Windows.
    (generally we only attack the 1603 directly if folks get it as a standalone error. if it shows up at the end of a chain of error messages like this, we should try to deal to the first error in the chain. if we can fix that, the 1603 should go away of its own accord.)

  • Invalid Drive Error 1326 When Installing iTunes for Windows

    I used to have an external usb 2.0 portable drive. It since has been uninstalled and trashed. When I tried to log into iTunes it said that some of the files are missing and to uninstall. I uninstalled from Control Panel - itunes, quicktime, ipod- then deleted the files that the support site said to. When I tried to re-install, i get the error that Drive G is invalid- error 1326. Any ideas????
    By the way- I couldn't find the files in C:- Windows- System 32 to delete- they weren't there-

  • Error 2 - when installing iTunes

    Please help me. Not sure when/how this happened or what led to it, however :-
    My I-tunes stopped working, so it advised I should un-install and re-install the program. I've read all the help avail on I-tunes and M'soft. I've un-installed all related programs, installed the M'soft install cleanup wizard, I am positive I've removed all installation files that may be hidden.
    It STILL says, once I re-download the 64 (and/or the 32bit) version, that:
    "Apple Application Support was not found.
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2."
    Please help.
    What do I do?
    Thanks in advance,
    IT-hopeless
    (PS I just watched True Blood for the first time and i'm hanging to buy some more episodes, if some1 could reply.. that would be great!!!)

    I've read all the help avail on I-tunes and M'soft. I've un-installed all related programs
    Hmmmm. Unfortunately, at the time that I write this post, the Apple documentation on "verifying that iTunes and related componentry is uninstalled" *is inaccurate for 64-bit systems.* The program files are in different locations than on 32-bit systems.
    So, just to be sure, we'll try going over the uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and Apple Application Support one more time, with accurate instructions on checking that program files have been completely removed. We'll take a few other explicit precautions along the way, too.
    Preliminaries
    Download and save a fresh 64-bit iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the iTunes install just yet.)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL925
    Now, quit QuickTime (if you have that open) and Safari 4.0.4 (if you have that installed and open). Both applications use Apple Application Support, and they will interfere with the uninstall if you have them open.
    *Uninstall phase*
    Head into your "Uninstall a Program" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support (if an entry exists in there for that).
    (From this point on until we reinstall Apple Application Support, neither QuickTime nor Safari 4.0.4 will be able to run.)
    Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    (1) Open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are stored on.
    (2) Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
    (3) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    (4) *Staying in Program files (x86),* find and open the "Common files" folder.
    (5) Open the "Apple" folder.
    (6) Right-click on the Apple Application Support folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    (7) Go back to "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are stored on.
    (8) Open the "Program Files" folder.
    (9) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Now empty your Recycle Bin and restart the PC.
    *Reinstall Phase*
    After the PC restarts, do not open any other applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus and antispyware).
    Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunes64Setup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Did the install seem to go through okay? If so, does iTunes start launching properly again?

  • Micorsoft Error Report when installing itunes need!!!

    I installed itunes the first time and everything ran smoothly. Then, my disc drive ceased to work and i could intsall, import or play nothing on my pc. This annoyed me somewhat so i attempted to fix it by using XP system restore to the point after i installed itunes. This all went to plan excpet my disc drive still didn't work. Increasingly unhappy i used system restore again but this time to a point before itunes was installed. This fixed my disc drive but when i attempted to install intunes again i got a microsoft error report after the ipod driver had installed and just before Quicktime starts. After constant system restoring it's still the same. I tried deleting everyfile to do with itunes and quicktime but some wouldn't delete i tried anyway and it didn't install again.
    The error reports says it will take one file, this is the end of the file:
    \LOCALS~1\Temp\3a27_appcompat.txt
    I don't know if thats any use but i really need some tips.

    NO, this seems to be seen only in the Packard Bells, which leads me to believe its some sort of Packard Bell issue. Here is how to resolve it...
    To resolve this behavior, follow these steps:
    Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
    Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
    Locate the LowerFilters value under the same key in the registry:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
    This is to get your CD drives working again btw. Looks like you have done all this uninstalling which can lead to other errors.

  • Please help - error message when installing iTunes 10

    I have tried several times to install iTunes to my laptop. Every time, I get an error message that reads: "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again."
    I tried deleting the temp file and uninstalled all Apple components and still get the same error message.

    Perhaps let's check to see if at least some of the iTunes components install.
    Try installing QuickTime "on it's own". (Actually, this'll install a fair few of the other related itunes programs too, but not all of them.) Get the installer that doesn't mention itunes:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Does that install for you? If not, what error message do you get on the QuickTime install?
