Softpub.dll error when trying to start iTunes

  Every time I try to open itunes I receive the following error message.
"C:\windows\system32\softpub.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support."
I have tried repairing and reinstalling itunes multiple times. I have tried doing this:
1. Go to the Start Menu and type CMD into the search bar.
2. Hit enter.
3. A black box should appear on your screen. Type in: sfc /scannow (Note: There is a space be-tween sfc and /scannow)
4. Windows will scan your computer for any broken or corrupt files.
5. If Windows did find any corrupt files restart your computer.
but when I was done it told me errors were found but they could not be fixed.
I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have seen similar threads and tried what they sugggested but have had no success thus far.
Thanks,

Bump. Anybody have any advice?

    You need to copy some files and your iTunes folder to the new computer. Do you have a backup of your old computer (or still have the old computer?) Was the old computer a Mac or PC?

    I keep getting an msvcr80.dll error when trying to download newest version of iTunes.

    Click 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.

    Get the following error when trying to sync itunes to Nano itunes could not coppy " Song"  to the ipod because unknown error occurred (-5000).  Any ideas?

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

  • Error when trying to download iTunes 10.6.3 for Windows XP

    I am receiving the following error when trying to download iTunes 10.6.3 for Windows XP:
    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.
    I have looked a several sites that have suggested several fixes, but nothing seems to work. I dont know what program I need to install so I can download iTunes; it never tells me that.
    Please help!
    Thanks

  • Visual C++   Errors When trying to update ITunes on Win 8.1

    Visual C++   Errors When trying to update ITunes on Win 8.1

    Steve, glad that you solved it yourself, but it might be worth taking on board that the steps you mention have not been sufficient for many people which is why Apple and others like myself have been offering somewhat deeper advice. Perhaps reiterating what has often already been suggested in such threads is not really necessary.
    Not that you've asked for a critique of your style, but the first sentence of your post above that you are copying elsewhere is appropriate in this thread where you are replying directly to me, anywhere else it perhaps suggests that others should have been able to do likewise and comes over a tad arrogant, though I'm sure that isn't the intention. I wouldn't include it...
    All the best.

  • Error when trying to start the ToolsAndFrameworks to access Endeca workbenc

    Hi All,
    I am getting the below error when trying to start the ToolsAndFrameworks.
    Starting Workbench (background process)
    The BASEDIR environment variable is not defined correctly
    This environment variable is needed to run this program
    Regards
    SK

    Hi SK,
    This occurs in those cases where the Endeca environment variables are not set properly. Make sure all the Endeca environment variables are set before starting the Tools services.
    Executing the 'mdex_setup_ini' and 'installar_sh.ini' will setup the Endeca environment variables. Below are the commands for the same.
    source /local/endeca/MDEX/6.3.0/mdex_setup_sh.ini
    source /local/endeca/PlatformServices/workspace/setup/installer_sh.ini
    HTH,
