Itunes did not install correctly error 7 windows error 5

the title is the error I get. I'm running on an older box, still has vista on it. I've followed several guides to fix this problem, including :
*uninstalling every apple program, in a ridiculously specific order, rebooting, making sure there are no folders left, then reinstalling as administrator
*doing the above but with the aid of byetunes
*repairing every iteration of the .net framework software compatible with vista
and still nothing. are there any further ideas on how to fix this?

A complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related software components is worth a try (7s can indicate trouble with other software components like Apple Application Support). See the following documents for instructions:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
... But if no joy there, let's check to see if there's a .NET issue underlying this:

Itunes did not install correctly. windows error 126

After being prompted to update to the latest version of iTunes, I did so. After the download I was given the following message: itunes did not install correctly error 7 windows error 126 - please attempt to re-install. I have attempted uninstall and deleting the software followed by new download and re-install. Same results each time. Please suggest a fix for this issue. Thank you.

I have the same problem and
have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
then restarted as per instructions,
went to Apple to download itunes,
hit download now,
Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
did not get a save instead of run prompt
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.

Vista itunes not installed correctly. Error 7. Windows error 998. Itunes helper not installed correctly. Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Insufficient privileges.

OK, spent about 25 frustrating hours so far this weekend doing everything recommended on numerous threads here -- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and all Apple items. Help?
I am using Windows Vista home premium. After the last iTunes update to 12, it suddenly would not work. I followed, to a T, all instructions to uninstall all Apples software, in the correct order, reboot, download the latest iTunes, run as administrator, plug in the iPhone 5S, let the driver install, and then finish.
Along the way, I received the error that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I am the administrator and have privileges. (I previously followed instructions from anther thread to change the read-only privileges for Apple folders, but to no avail. I also deleted every file with the word Apple in it after I uninstalled everything.) I did a retry and then an ignore during installation of the AMD error, which I have received 10 times.
The other error I keep getting is: "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7." I have done that 20 times.
Other frequent error: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)."
I followed other threads suggestions to install Windows .NET versions 3.5 and 4.0. No help. I also looked for various specific Apple files in various folders for DLLs, etc. Not present. I have rebooted 50 times and tried different users on my home account as well. Nothing.
I also followed instructions to Manage my computer under "services." Under Apple Mobile Device, the setting is for "automatic." When I try to get it to "start," the error I receive is "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." (I followed previous thread instructions to use the CMD prompt to stop it. That caused problems because the status was then "stopped," but I was able to restart it later once I figured that out -- but with the 1053 error again.)
I think I've tried every suggestion in every thread for the four errors I keep getting (AMD failed to start; iTunesHelper Error 7; Windows error 998; and AMD Error 1053.) I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated. I mostly want to make sure I don't lose my music and photos, which I was about to sync.
The only other thing I see that is strange on my computer (which I discovered along the way) is that I cannot receive automatic windows updates and have not had an update since 2012. My iTunes worked a month ago, so that was obviously not a show-stopper in the past, but perhaps there is a Vista update I need for iTunes 12? I have service pack 2 for Vista. I have followed all threads to try to set my windows to automatic update, but no joy there either. It checks for updates and then fails. I followed instructions and did run an installation to install windows automatic updates, but that doesn't work either. I tried 10 times. It runs and takes a while, but is never able to successfully update windows. It says "checking for updates" for a while. Then it dies. My last update was 6/19/12 (failed) and it says the most recent check was 6/22/12, but I have tried 20 times on 10/31/14 and 11/1/14.
When asked to "Install new Windows Update software" to check for updates, I have done so 10 times. It downloads and installs, but never works.
It's an old Dell desktop computer from 2006, and I'm using an iPhone 5S. I am fresh out of ideas. Anyone really smart here?
Thanks.
Tristan

Upon latest reboot, I also received this error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application."
Then I got the iTunesHelper not installed correctly error again.
Then the "Windows can't check for updates" error message.
Then "Apple Push has stopped working." Then a quick DEP error message that disappeared but said something about Apple Push being closed.
I'm also getting denials of service logged by McAffee. Not sure if I'm getting a virus/attack or not.
Not sure if it's a problem with my old desktop machine, my Windows Vista updates, or iTunes, but I'm very frustrated and out of ideas to try.
Thank you for your help!
Tristan

ITunes stopped working on Windows 8. Error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly.

I have Windows 8. Originally iTunes worked fine, then it couldn't update (said it was unsuccessful). Then it stopped working, so I (after much research) tried a long and tiresome method of removing all Apple products and re-installing them. I did this 3 times and it eventually worked and has been working fine for a few months. Recently, when trying to update, it has said "update successful", but when checking for new updates, finds the same one it supposedly just installed, wanting to install it again. For a few weeks now it has not worked at all, saying "error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly" when I attempt to open iTunes. I can't bring myself to go through the whole process again of uninstalling and reinstalling everything, it took hours and it clearly doesn't solve the problem. I have no idea what the problem is. Reinstalling only iTunes doesn't work. The support pages have no advice available for my crappy version of Windows.
Please help me!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
It shouldn't really take that long to do, assuming it goes smoothly.
