Itunes was not installed correctly... Error 7...and then some
Downloaded Itunes 9 and now get a message: "Ituneshelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7" I have tried to reinstall and get the same message again. If I try to open Itunes from the desktop icon I get another message: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)
I have taken Itunes off of my computer twice and reinstalled and still get these messages.
I followed the instructions on a similar thread that was posted in May but that didn't help.
What do ya think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's being unusually cryptic for an Error 7.
Usually if the .NET framework is up to snuff, an error 7 indicates trouble with the Apple Application Support installation. But in those cases, usually there's a preceding message about one of the Apple Application Support program files.
On rare occasions (had it happen to me once myself while installing and uninstalling stuff by way of troubleshooting experimentation), the 7 can indicate trouble with one of the other associated programs (like QuickTime, perhaps BonJour). So, perhaps the sensible way forward for us under the circumstances is a complete uninstall and reinstall of all iTunes and related componentry, as per:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
If you get any error messages with any of the uninstalls, deletions or reinstall, let us know what they say.
If, however, the process seems to go through swimmingly, does your iTunes start launching without the 7?

ITunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (Windows error 998)
HI
I had a Trojan and used Malwarebytes to get rid of it and now everything is fine but for some reason everytime I try to open Itunes I get the message ITunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (Windows error 998)
I have done various searches on this issue and have so far done the following :-
Complete uninstall of Itunes, Quick Time and all associated programs and then a fresh install. I have also updated Microsoft.net framework. I have run a microsoft IE8 repair tool and have also made another windows user account to see if it was just my own user account.
None of this has helped and I am still getting the error. Do I really have to do a complete format on my PC or is there anyone out there that can help?I've found something that may or may not be relevant.
Whenever I run CCleaner after installing iTunes I get the following registry errors:
Missing TypeLib Reference IUserHelper - {19D52A9A-379C-4720-BA00-3D396ECD24D7} HKCR\Interface\{915DA835-02FE-4953-92FA-624BDF5D85AB}

These always come back when I try and 'Repair' iTunes from the control panel.
Ideas anyone? -
I was cleaning up my laptop to free up some disk space. I now can't get into my itunes ??? It's saying Itunes was not installed correctly error 7 (windows error 14003)
What do I need to re-install to get my itunes back?Is there also another message, Rob, citing a particular file? If so what is the name of the file? (Precise spelling, please.)
Are you running XP, Vista or 7? (I'm assuming 2000 must have just been a slip of the fingers.) -
Windows version 7. Auto update of iTunes to version 12.1 from 12.0.1.
At end of install process, message 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 127).
Tried to launch iTunes, anyway, but immediately got message 'The procedure entry point "CMBlockBufferCopyDataBytes" could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll'.
Tried downloading iTunes and updating manually - get exactly the same result.
No problem using iTunes before this.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.
The error hints at a similar pattern to those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find CoreMedia.dll in the one of the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
Delete it and then repair Apple Mobile Device Support from the Programs and Features control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild.

Itunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (Windos error 998)
Hello,
has anyone an idea to assist. Can't get rid of the problem with itunes 11.0.4.4. Quick Time works properly. Tried to repair as well as uninstall and install again.
Messages remains at start of itunes.
Your assistance will be appreciated very much.
BerndI just installed the new update and am getting the same error over and over.
I have manually unistalled iTunes and downloaded the latest installer - no luck. Have never had a problem with iTunes in 10 years.
There is a suggestion on the forums for doing something with the optical filter registry, but I am not touching regedit, so that's no help.

ITunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows 7)
It all started when the apple software updater found updates for both itunes and quicktime. Ever since getting that update iTunes has never worked again.
I've googled this problem and tried all solutions. I tried uninstalling everything, rebooting, and re-installing itunes. I've tried repairing .net framework. I've even tried to use the revo uninstaller.
When I attempt to put iTunes back on the computer I get an error message saying something like:
Service apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges.
I'm given an option to either retry, ignore, or abort. I've tried to retry, but the same message with the same options always comes up. I've tried ignoring, but when the install is done I get the same message that iTunes was not installed correctly error 7. Sometimes it will say the iTuneshelper wasn't installed correctly.
WIthout iTunes i can't add new songs to my iPhone and I can't get any future updates either. There must be a fix out there for this. Please help me.I've found something that may or may not be relevant.

Itunes was not installed correctly please reinstall. :(
After upgrading itunes it says ' itunes was not installed corectly please reinstall so i uninstalled everything apple : bonjour apple application support , quicktime ....., than installed itunes again nothing ! same message i'v tried dowload microsoft.net framework didden't help. I noticed that quicktime isent working either it says ' please install apple aplication support so i downloaded winrar opened the setup from itunes and installed apple aplication support . Now after a week itunes still says ' itunes was not installed correctly please reinstall and quicktime still says ' please install apple aplication support. I'm 14 and from Belgium so i don't understand the really complicated told selutions but i do understand if you could explain it in steps ! please help me my ipod was conected to my pc when this all happend so it deledet all my music on my ipod please please please help me !
After searching on line, it seemed that this was a compatibility issue, and I might need .NET 3.5, which in turn seems to be part of SP2, but my autodownloads failed and the patch for downloading SP2 failed to install also.
Yeah, that'll be our issue. We'd better get you up to SP2 ... without it, you won't be getting any security updates now, so you'll possibly be a wee way behind on that front. (In the grand scheme of things, that's probably the more significant problem.)
Are you able to get SP2 in if you do a manual download of the System readiness tool? There's instructions for that in the Information for Advanced Users section of the following document:
[Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7, and for Windows Server 2008 R2|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821] -
Hi!
So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
Tings I have done:
- Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
- Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
- Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
- Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.
Doublechecking. Have you also tried the following user tip?
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates -
All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
and
2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
ThanksClick here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
