TS3074 iTunes not not installed correctly, Error 7, 998 - but only sometimes

I am using Windows 7. Sometimes iTunes will not launch. I get a message that says iTune was not installed properly - Error 7, 998. I have deleted Apple programs (including iTunes) and reloaded them. I have added the net framework files that the help page recommends. The thing is, sometimes it still won;t launch. I eave the computer for a couple of hours, try again, and voila, iTune launches. Any ideas?

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:

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}
Missing TypeLib Reference IiPodManagerUI - {19D52A9A-379C-4720-BA00-3D396ECD24D7} HKCR\Interface\{D775A119-EAC2-4F28-B06E-8AC16F2695DA}
These always come back when I try and 'Repair' iTunes from the control panel.
Ideas anyone?

Treloaded. Getting a message "iTunes not installed correctly" Error 7 Windows Error 998. Removed and retried install got same message??????

Trying to install iTunes on my XP machine after the operating system was reloaded. Getting a message "iTunes not installed correctly" Error 7 Windoes Error 998. Removed and retried installgot same message??????

This can sometimes indicate that one of the other itunes-related software components is damaged. (Usually Apple Application Support, but there are other possibilities beyond that.)
Perhaps first try a complete uninstall/reinstall as per the following document:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Does that get you past the 7?

HT1923 After updating Itunes it stopped working. I removed Itunes and reinstalled and i am getting the foloowing errors MSVcr80.dll not found and Itunes not installed correctly error 7 (window errror 126) How do I fix this?

Yesterday I updated my Itunes account and it stopped working. I tried installing itunes version 11.1.4 and once done it came back with 2 error messages MsvCR80.dll was not found and I tunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (windows error 126) I have removed Itunes completely and redownloaded several times with the same result. Is there an easy fix or can I download an older version of Itunes that works?

None of the solutions mentioned in this forum work for me. I've not ever had a problem with your software before. I installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times. No itunes directories exist. I've uninstalled everything labled Apple on my pc withe the same results. The problem is with your software not Windows.

How can I download itunes when I get the following errors...have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7

How can I download itunes when I get the following errors ..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7..I .have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up.
This has been a problem for 6 weeks now, I retry when I have time and patience and use my other laptop which is also Windows 7 and runs with no problem.
Every attempt fails when all seems fine on the desktop and I try to log on to Itunes I get the errors.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (If this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

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)

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 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.

I tunes will not update it says before i open itunes it wasent installed correctly but i dont want to lose everything i have how do i fix this?

It looks like you may have to reinstall itunes.
There are multiple things you should uninstall (and in a certain order) according to apple.
Also, even thought your music and itunes library information should not be affected in the uninstall, I would strongly recomend backing it up. Go to where you keep your music files and make sure you back up everything in the folders "itunes" and "itunes music".
The directions for the reinstall are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 They include what to uninstall and in what order. This is for itunes 9 and earlier, but I think it is the same for itunes 10.

"Printer cartridges not installed correctly" error message

HP Tech Support and HP Envy Users, Still getting the "Printer cartridges not installed correctly" error message for no good reason and it's July 2015! HP should have fixed this problem a long time ago based on the date of the posts from users. And/or corrected the misleading error message, as the users did install them correctly. I didn't get an installation error message when I installed my cartridges and I have been able to print successfully on this current set of cartridges. My error message appeared out of the blue. I've done all the troubleshooting steps except replace BOTH cartridges. I will do that. If the error message goes away once I've replaced one or both cartridges, HP should have long provided an update that says, "replace ink cartridges" and not the misleading one of not being installed correctly. If that doesn't clear up the problem, I will call HP as it's still under warranty. Hope I didn't get one of the "lemons" that require servicing.

Hello @jimboware and welcome to the HP Forums!
As far as I'm aware, there is no Windows 6, did you perhaps mean Windows 7? This What's My OS link will help if you'd like
When you're starting the install, do you plug in the USB cable before the software asks for it?
Let me know that information and we'll go from there!

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found. What is the fix for this?

It is always these four updates that fail. I've tried downloading and installing them seperately from apple downloads. I've tried various recommended fixes, and nothing I can figure out works. Before these problems, itunes worked on the computer for a year.
Thank you again for wanting to help me.

Oradism not set up correctly error in the alert log in 9.2.0.4

Hello,
I have installed 9.2.0.4 patch on top of 9.2.0.1 database.
The O/S is Solaris 5.9
The database is set to work with:
workarea_size_policy=AUTO.
The database is not working properly compared to other machines we have.
After looking in the alert log I found the following error popping after restart:
WARNING: -------------------------------
WARNING: oradism not set up correctly.
Dynamic ISM can not be locked. Please
setup oradism, or unset sga_max_size.
[diagnostic 0, 16, 5001]
I found the following two notes on the subject, contradicting each other and also contradicting the status of the machine:
Note:151222.1
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=151222.1
Telling me not to do the below procedure on 9.2.0.4, though I get the same error and miss the required etc entries specified.
Note:262886.1
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=262886.1
Telling me to copy oradism.sav to oradism and I already have those.
Can you please supply a full and DETAILED procedure regarding what should I do, in case it is not a procedure, please specify how I should solve the oradism not set up correctly error.

Hi Tal,
Just looked at the notes you referred to. The first doesn't apply to 9.2.0.4. as you state. The other note is for 9.2.0.4e (note the "e", stands for embedded). This "e" release is not what you have, so that note doesn't apply either.
The AR that I referred to is for 10g, but the 9iR2 info is the same. You need to make sure that $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oradism is owned by root.

I cannot update iTunes because when I run the Apple Software Updater, it says "'iTunes QuickTime' has an invalid signature. It will not be installed." If I try downloading only it says "'iTunes cannot update. Invalid signature.
