ITunes Won't Install On Windows Vista

Hi,
About a year ago, I had iTunes on my Windows Vista 32-bit SP2 computer and then I switched to Mac, so I uninstalled iTunes on my Windows Vista computer thinking I wouldn't need it anymore.
Now I want to install iTunes again on it but, I keep getting this error message: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
At this point I really don't know what to do.
Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it. iTunes has never been installed on his computer before. I'd really like to get this up and running soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Accck. Have you checked to see if you've got a broken Windows Modules Installer, ral? See the following thread for troubleshooting advice for that possibility:

ITunes won't install on Windows Vista? 32 bit

I have Windows Vista (the 32 bit) and after I got an iPhone I tried to sync it to my iTunes. But it said I needed a later version of iTunes (I had version 9.something). So after I downloaded iTunes 10.2.22 or whatever, whenever I tried to open iTunes I got a message that said, "ITunes did not install correctly". I uninstalled and did it again, only to get the same message. Help?

I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

ITunes won't play in Windows Vista

I'm helping a friend with the iTunes on her Windows Vista computer and her problem is that whenever she tries to play ANY song in iTunes, it will not play (the time in the song stays at 0:00, and most of the time iTunes freezes. I have tried:
Running iTunes as an Administrator
Running iTunes in Windows XP SP2 mode
Upgrading to latest verion of iTunes
Uninstalling iTunes, restarting, and installing the latest version of iTunes
None of these troubleshooting steps have worked, what should I try next?
Thanks!
I'm glad stuff like this doesn't happen on my Mac

tried that...comes up telling me it needs to sync and that there isn't enough room.

ITunes won't install on Windows 7

iTunes had been working on Windows 7 but then, after I unintsalled some apparently unrelated programs, it couldn't load up. I've downloaded the iTunes installation file and tried to install or repair 3 times but keep getting a message that a required component is not installed (-45075). I've tried 2 installation files and I've uninstalled before installing again. But I keep getting the same thing: the program appears with the warning popup box in front, and if I click O.K. or cancell the box, the program disappears.

I've downloaded the iTunes installation file and tried to install or repair 3 times but keep getting a message that a required component is not installed (-45075).
Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Hello Shivy0206
Try using the install file from the first article to download the 64-bit version of iTunes. If you continue to have trouble, then use the second article for further assistance.

ITunes won't install in Windows 8.1

I Clicked Download iTunes after selecting it for Windows 8, 64 bit. A new screen came up, thanking me for downloading iTunes, and describing all its features. That's great, but where is the download? I don't get an error message, I get nothing. What can I do to install iTunes on my PC?

Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Itunes won't start & Freezes Windows Vista - Please Please Help!!

Hey Guys,
Ever since I've upgraded to Itunes 10.1.2, my itunes won't even open. I click the icon on my desktop, I get the swirly circle for a bit, and then it stops. In the task manager, itunes.exe is listed as one of the processes, but doesn't seem to be running. I've tried EVERY solution I could find in these forums. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes about 6 times now, and I've even tried older versions. But nothing works. I've ran malware software, disabled my antivirus, and even tried to get the guys at the genius bar to help me (unfortunately they're not as well versed in PCs).
If you have any clues as to what may be going on - PLEASE Please Help me!! I'm a huge music buff, and it's been a MONTH since I last used itunes, and I would really love to have it back!
I will say this - occasionally after I reinstall itunes, a window that shows "checking music library" will pop up, but I'll wait for 45 minutes, and nothing will happen. I thought it might have to do with the fact that I have a good 100 GB of music on my external hd, but everything worked fine before.
Thank you all so SO much for your help, any input is greatly appreciated!

Really? Can no one help me?!

I allowed Itunes to upgrade to the newest version available. Now I am in real trouble. Itunes will not load period. Have tried many fixes suggested. Nothing has worked so far.
I have an ipod and an iphone, each using different libraries. I don't know how to tell the libraries apart. They did have different names, but now I can't find them again.
First of all I have to get itunes running. I have tried using an older version, no luck. I have tried deletinge every reference to itunes, no luck either. I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least 10 times.
Please help.

HT1926 Itunes won't install on windows computer because a "package is missing ". What is this package?

I've been trying to install itunes 10.6 so i can synchronize it with my iphone 4 but Windows doesnt let me becouse a package is missing. It will only let me instal up to itunes 10.4 which doesnt work with my iphone 4.

i couldnt find the ASU, when i tried to install it gives me the same missing package message.
If you're using XP, go into your Add or Remove programs control panel. Can you see Apple Software Update in the list of programs? if so, select Apple Software Update, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If you're using Vista or Windows 7, go into your Uninstall a program control panel. Can you see Apple Software Update in the list of programs? If so, select Apple Software Update and click "repair".
If you were able to repair, and ASU now appears under "All Programs" in the Start Menu, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

ITunes won't work with Windows Vista

Everytime I try to open itunes I get the error message, 'itunes has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem'. That ends everything.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, used System Restore, removed all new installs - nothing works. Pua

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. When I open itunes I get the error message saying 'itunes has stopped working, windows is checking for a solution to the problem'. Then sometimes it pops up telling me that itunes has an update that will stop this from happening, but that just takes me to the itunes download page. Sometimes it tells me that DEP has stopped it from working but I can't turn this off for itunes. When I go to the event log I get the following info:

I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and tried to repair it several times. I've also uninstalled quicktime and reinstalled it and it's working fine. I've restarted my computer several times as well!
I have Vista 32 bit.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I've been on these forums for ages looking for a solution, but it seems like most people solved the problem by just reinstalling quicktime.
Thanks

Issue Solved: Itunes won't install on windows

Hey all, I have a windows computer running windows 7 and have been unable to install itunes on it. I tried all of the help site tips on the apple site and they didnt help. I had an error message 7 (windows error 193).
They said this was an issue with the dynamic link library (.dll) the solution fixed my itunes issue but they told me it may interfere with another program (but that hasn't happened yet and it's an easy fix if it does)
1. Go to your C: drive under "My computer"
2. select the "System 32" file.
3. find the "msvcr100.dll" item: it was a ways down but you need this exact one.
4. when you find it- click and drag it to your desk top.
5. a warning will pop up- ignore it.
6. itunes fixed!
if you run into problems with another prgram now, just put this "msvcr100.dll" back in the system 32 file. Apparently it's just an old .dll from windows that hasn't been fixed.
Thanks all!
Luke

ITunes won't install on Windows 8

I've seen this question asked a few times but it hasn't really been answered.
I am running Windows 8 and had a problem syncing my iPhone 4s to my iTunes so decided to uninstall and reinstall. Now when i try to install I'm geting the error "This App can't run on your pc".
I've tried to run as administrator, open using windows 7 configurations and nothing. Same error.
My windows updates are all up to date and I'm trying to install the latest 64bit version of itunes.
