Apple application support error 2 (windows 7 error 2)
I get the following error when I try to launch iTunes "apple application support error 2 (windows 7 error 2)". I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and still I get that same error message. I have also right clicked on the desk top icon and pressed "run as administrator".What do I need to do to fix this problem?

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.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

Apple application support not found error? need help
I tried updating my iTunes to the current version and i've encountered several errors. After completely uninstalling and reloading iTunes, I now get the following Error: "Apple Application Support not found. Apple Application support is required to run iTunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes and reinstall. Error 2" Can someone help me? I've tried the Winrar tactic and still does not work. I am using windows vista. I want to upgrade itunes so I can use Apple TV.
thanks!Gives
me error message Apple Application support was not found.
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
Apple Application Support Not Found (Error 2)
I just got a new iPad and was told to install iTunes on my PC to get started. I tried installing the lastest version of iTunes and at the end of the installation process I get 2 pop ups saying "Apple Application Support Not Found" I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 4 times now with the same problem. What do I need to do to successfully install iTunes and is there any way to use my iPad without connecting to a PC first? Please help, I would really like to use my graduation present!
Many thanks.
Okay. We'll try a "standalone" installation of Apple Application Support, then. (It still may not install, but at least we'll have a better idea of what the problem is, based on any error messages we might get.)
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Use WinRAR to expand the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunes64Setup.exe into a folder.
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us no what it says. (Precise text, please.) -

Apple application support was not found error 2
I originally had a problem with my iTunes and went to the Apple website to find a solution and I was encouraged to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Well, I made the mistake of uninstalling the Apple Application Support and now every time I download iTunes, it will not start. I tried looking through other discussions to fix my problem but the only thing I could find that was someone saying to download a free thing and then use it to run iTunes. Everyone said that it worked for them but the home page of the website is a copious amount of external links and it's really annoying as well as confusing. When I found a link that would allow me to download it, it wanted me to complete a task in which I would have to sign up for something (for example, Audible.com) in order to get to the free software. I would just like to download the program required and I am really sick of iTunes at the moment.

Experienced problems with Itunes and research had me delete several apps. I have downloaded Itunes but now I need to download Apple Application support. I have tried a couple of addresses found on Google but got a lot of spyware and not what I wanted. Where is a site that I can download Apple Application support for Windows 7 64 bit machine?

"apple application support was not found" now what?
Installing itunes on Vista just to manage content on my ipad and I got the above message. How do I fix that?
Hi b noir,
I've been following your posts for my iTunes compatibility problems with Vistas. So far, progress has been steady - but now I'm stumped.
Apple customer service wanted me to Uninstall/Reinstall iTunes - intending to walk me through the problematic new-device setup. Prior to now, iTunes has had quirks with Vistas, but we were running just fine. However, per Apple, I Uninstalled and now - I just cannot get it Reinstalled.
I cleared a few hurdles until I got this "Apple Application Support not found error 2" message.
Again, I followed your steps and after trying the standalone AAS install, I get the following message:
"A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer."
So, between these two messages:
AAS not found error 2
"A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer."
I don't know what to do next.
Can you please advise? -
I can successfully download iTunes on my PC, but receive an error message when I try to install the file: "Apple Application Support was not found... Error 2" I've tried deleting the file and reinstalling it to no avail. Any ideas?

I am trying to install itunes (64 bit) after downloading Windows 8.1 on my HP Laptop. I keep getting an error message Windows Error 2--"Apple App;ication Support is required to run itunes helper" Does anyone have any simple suggestions for a user with limited knowledge of Computers?
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:

Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.

Ok so I went to update my itunes 9 to itunes 10.5 and now I get and error message "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2) when ever I try to run itunes and iv been trying to fix this for like a month and let me tell you iTunes for windows is **** and I really want Icloud for my iphone 4 and yes iv tried uninstalling everything by apple in the correct order and reinstalling them after restart atleast honestly 20 - 30 times but nothing worked so if anyone can please help me I have windows 7 and a hp intel pentium computer
Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.
