When installing itunes get error "program can't start because msvcr80.dll is missing

I cancelled the installation of the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC and when attempting to reinstall it, I now get a message that "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem." Reinstalling the program does not fix the problem. Repairing the installation does not fix the problem. A search shows the "missing" file does exist in the MSOCache directory.

    Attempting to update itunes, received system error" Program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from computer, try reinstalling the program to fix the problem. Question, I can't access Itunes to backup library, how do I reinstall without loosing music library?

    It doesn't matter and doing a manual install will not fix the problem either.  I'm looking for a solution but no luck yet.  I think Apple has given us a bad update.

  • I received an update yesterday from Itunes. It downloaded. Now I get "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.

    Then I got this message "Itunes not installed correctly please reinstall Itunes, Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I have tried re-downloading Itunes but I keep getting the same message. I don't know what else to try? I've ran Microsoft security Essentials to no avail. Also tried my resident troubleshooting programs & they found nothing wrong. Oh I forgot to mention that yesterday Dropbox was installed on my computer & today I received a security notice from my computer to get rid of Dropbox. I then noticed that I had no sound, That is what started me trying to open Itunes when I received all the problems. I deleated Dropbox & the sound returned but the problem with Itunes is still here! I hope I haven't lost hundreds of hours of music. Please any help would be appreciated.

  • I tried to update iTunes (4 times) and can't install. It says "program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

    Can somone help? Thanks!

    Same thing happened to me. I ended up completely uninstalling itunes then downloaded it again from http://www.apple.com/itunes/.   If you're using firefox, for some reason itunes will not download and  I  don't know if using googlechrome will also have problems,so just to  be  sure that it will work on your first try, use internet  explorer  when you download itunes. Good LUCK!!

  • HT1923 The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing.

    Is there a fix for this message which suddenly appeared after I installed the latest update to Itunes?  The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.  Then I get Itunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall Itunes.  Error 7 (windows error 126).  I've removed itunes, rebooted, reinstalled many times through the control panal as well as making sure all files removed in my computer.  I've also downloaded Microsoft net framework 4 per instructions and rebooted to no avail.  Any other suggestions?

  • I keep getting this error message when i try to install the latest version of itunes, the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem??

    I am having trouble reinstalling my Itunes on my desktop which uses Windows 7 and I can download it but once it's complete i keep getting this error message...The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Please help me.

    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 move on to the next item)
    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.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Hello Charleen,
    It sounds like you are unable to reinstall iTunes because of this error message 7. I recommend the troublehsooting found in the following article that mentions that error named:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 126)”
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • My Itunes won't open. When I click on it I get error message:  The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.

    The first error message is: itunes.exe-System Error:  the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.
    The second error message says: itunes:  itunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall itunes Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    I have reinstalled several times and the same thing keeps happening.  Does anyone know what to do?

    Ralph, both links you've posted point to the same place!
    Ah, I see the second one is meant to lead to Tony's tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6571
    That one applies for certain launch errors that can occur when iTunes has otherwise installed successfully. I've addressed the same issue in the first box of my tip.
    What would be interesting to know is if Aswim does indeed have QTMovieWin.dll in their Program Files\iTunes folder, and if removing it allows iTunes to launch? It would seem that different error messages may be thrown up by different versions of the file on different versions of the OS. Perhaps many more people have been doing a complete rebuild than needed to.

  • 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 correct

    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.
    Thanks

    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.

  • Can't download itunes update.  Keep getting this error message:  THe program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem

    Can't download itunes update.  Keep getting this error message:  THe program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem

    I researched the advice on the link provided by b noir as well as very similar advice from apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. It worked for me (for now).
    Some things of note:
    I did all of the things requested by the link I provided
    My computer WOULD NOT uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. I had to manually remove the folder (also as instructed by the url)
    I also uninstalled MobileMe. Was a little different than removing the other apps. Follow instructs provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2992
    I did not uninstall iCloud
    I have to admit it was a bit scary removing all those things. Is important to note that when re-installing Apple, follow steps to do so as Administrator (the right-click thingy and whatnot).
    Hope this helps!
