ITunes Installation Error -

So I've been trying to install iTunes 7 on my new laptop, and am having some trouble. My operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition.
I keep getting this error upon running the setup;
"C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Owner/Desktop/iTunessetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
Can anyone help me? Thanks very much for any help.

I had that problem on my wifes laptop. First, I saved the download to the heard drive. Then I tried to run the download from the saved program. It gave me the error message again. "...not a win32 application". I then tried to run it from the website again..poof, it worked. I do not know why, but try that, it may work for you.

  • ITunes installation error- see error messages and please help!

    Today I tried to update to the latest version of iTunes, but had problems during installation.  It looks like iTunes and Quicktime were sucessfully installed but some of the other installation files didn't get downloaded. (I am competent with computers, but definitely not a techie!)  There were three things on the installing window that came up, and if I remember correctly, the top one had a red x and the bottom two had green checks.
    I have tried repairing my iTunes installation several times, getting all the windows updates for my computer, and repairing the microsoft.net 4 thing that was suggested in another forum.  And of course, restarted my computer a bunch of times with all that.  I am at the point now where I guess I have to completely uninstall and reinstall?
    When I click on iTunes, I get this message:
    The procedure entry point
    AVCFPlayerItemDurationChangedNotification could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll.
    Then I click ok and I get this message:
    iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 127).

    +My next problem is, that whenever I plug my iPod Nano, 3rd Gen into my PC, it shuts down and reboots. Any ideas on this one?+
    Do you also get that if you try playing a movie using QuickTime?
    Are you getting any sort of blue screen when the PC shuts down? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x{zeros/letters/numbers} CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    If the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)
    Here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    If you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • ITunes Installation Error Message?

    I recently had to install an update for iTunes. After the update was installed, I was promted by an error message that "iTunes was not installed correctly", and that I needed to reinstall iTunes. Once I completed the process of uninstalling iTunes, I began to reinstall iTunes. After the reinstallation process, I was then prompted by another error message that had said, "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I have continued to receive this error prompt every time that I have attempted to reinstall iTunes. I have even followed troublshooting procedures on this Apple Support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926  and still have not had any luck. Is there anyone that can help me with this please?

  • ITunes Installation Error 7 (Windows Error 126) for Windows 8

    I attempted to reinstall iTunes on my PC, and now iTunes won't run. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program again but get the same error messages: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and "iTunes was not installed correctly.

  • Someone PLEASE help. I am at my wit's end... (Question concerning iTunes installation error)

    This is SUPER frustrating. A couple of months ago, I tried to update my iTunes to iTunes 10.5. After I had installed it, I got the infamous "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5). I was, consequently, having problems with my laptop as a whoel at the time and thought that this was the source of the problem. However, I just got my laptop back after having it fixed by technicians. I have tried to download iTunes again and I am getting the same message. I have scoured through countless questions here on the Apple Support website and on the internet in general. NOTHING has worked. I have an iPod nano 6th generation and haven't been able to properly manage my music because of this. Please help!!

    Thanks - I'm usually better with my netetiquette, but I had just spent a very frustrating time trying to figure out what should have been a very simple thing.
    I still have no idea why the headphones started working. But I did finally figure out that GB has multiple input settings for my pre-amp (mobilepre usb) - although this is way more hidden than it should be. Problem is solved.
    And to anyone I may have offended with my rant - my apologies. I'll try to keep that down in future.
    Thanks again.

  • ITunes installation error - no C-drive, invalid C-drive, or specified path too long

    This is an answer rather than a question as answer to a previous question seemed unresolved and I had similar problem which I have resolved. I thought posting it might help others...
    My OS System disk wasn't set as the C-drive (how or why I'm not sure, but I have several OS installations and 2 hard-drives and must be a result of the way I installed these). And so I had no C-drive at all (except when I plugged in USB Pen's they would appear as C-drive).
    iTunes wouldn't let me install unless I had a C-drive - probably said I had an invalid C-drive or something. So I tried creating a virtual C-drive by mapping the C: drive letter to a new empty folder on my system disk (G-drive) to "C:". See - http://ask-leo.com/i_have_no_c_drive_but_some_programs_insist_on_it_what_can_i_d o.html
    This DIDN'T resolve the problem as it merely created a different error message - it said: "The specified path is too long C:\Program Files" NB This is despite me telling it to install iTunes to the G-drive.
    Solution: I removed the virtual C-drive (ie. mapping of "C:"  to the new folder) and instead in My Computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management, I assigned the C: drive letter to a drive partition I use for storing media (I plan to name it back else several programms will fail to store media correctly). I also moved the iTunes.exe installation file to that C: partition in case that helped. Installation (still told to be the G-drive) was now successful.
    What I noticed is iTunes created the following path - C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02\lib\ext - and dumped this file there: QTJava.zip Looks suspiciously like an install file for the bundled (and required) updated Quick Time, which it obviously requires to be dumped on a C-drive. Once installed I doubt that file will still be needed, so I'll delete it after I restart (it won't let me at the mo).
    If you don't have extra partitions that you can assign C-drive to, then you could either try Adding (rather than changing) the C: drive letter to your current System disk. IN FACT I'M THINKING THAT'D BE THE BEST THING TO DO ANYWAY as then all programmes will use the correct system disk regardless of whether they think they should be using G: or C: (though I've not tried it, so can't be sure this works). Alternatively I reckon you could connect a USB stick and assign C-drive to that (if it isn't in fact automatically assigned it). Allow it to dump the QTJava.zip file on to it and once installed, you can remove the USB Stick - NB I'd suggest using the Safe Removal. (Well, might be worth restarting first in case it is referencing anything on it that isn't finished until restart.)
    Hope this helps someone as was driving me potty coz I couldn't update my iTunes and thus couldn't sync my iPhone!

    Hi AltafB,
    For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

    Besides, since you deploy Orchard to Azure, you can also publish it directly using publish profile in Visual Stduio or WebMatrix directly.

  • ITunes installation error on Windows 7 PC

    We just purchased a new iPad and are trying to load iTunes onto our 64-bit Windows 7 Dell PC to transfer some songs.  Before it completes the download I receive the following error: "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.  Errors occurred during installation.  Your system has not been modified."  That's it, no error code - nothing.  Does anyone recognize this error?  Thanks!!

    Item or object?
    For "Object already exists" or "Access denied" errors when installing try opening Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates then checking for Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2918614). Uninstall if you have it, then reboot and try installing again.
    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.

  • ITunes installation error message.  Need help!

    I am receiving the following error message when downloading iTunes 10.5 and newer.  A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file c:\\windows\installer\iTunes.msi

    Crikey.
    C:\\program'files\iTunes\iTunes.resources\pt.lpro\duplicatesplacard.nb\objects.x ib
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    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 decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • ITunes installation error message pix attached

    error message when installing the latest version of iTunes:
    http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8091/87870644ay1.jpg

    This error usually responds to an installer cleanup.
    Here is a method for full removal of iTunes and cleanup;
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • Itunes Installation Error 1628

    I am experiencing problems with installing quicktime. I tried to install it with Itunes and it gives the 1628 Failed to complete. I have tried everything in all forums everywhere relating to this error. I also downloaded the quicktime standalone and I get a huge error message or two and doesn't install. I know have the latest Itunes with an error requires Quicktime 7.0 or later. Anyone that can please help! Thank you

    hi Guy!
    this could be. it sounds familiar. where would i find this info at?
    hmmm. just went googling. found a reference for version number 1.38. do you recall downloading anything like this?
    http://www.free-codecs.com/download/KLite_Mega_CodecPack.htm
    looking at the details of this pack, my
    b guess
    is that the Codec pack fiddles around thoroughly enough with a QT 7.0.2 that the 7.0.2 gets confused and thinks it's a 6.5.2 ... speculation, though.
    let's try to get you functioning again. but just in the interests of half-buttocked research, would you mind launching your version of QT first? go into the "about" screen. what version number do you see there? 6.5.2, 7.0.2, or 7.0.2<something>?
    first shut down both itunes and QT. reboot. shut down antivirus and antispyware prior to installs and uninstalls.
    Download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility from here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    reboot.
    use the QT part of the uninstall instructions given here to remove your existing QT:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    if you run into trouble on the uninstall, use the Cleanup utility.
    b but even if you don't run into trouble on the uninstall, run the utility after the uninstall to check to make sure you've completely gotten rid of any existing QT stuff.
    reboot.
    download and save to your hard drive a fresh copy of the QT standalone installer (we'll run the install from there rather than on-line).
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    does your QT launch? does your itunes launch now?
    keep us posted.
    love, b
