Apple Application Support won't install

I can't get the new itunes upgrade to install. I tried the update, that didn't work. So I unistalled itunes and quicktime thinking this might help. It didn't. I've tried everything the support says and it still won't download. I then downloaded only and when I go to the "open downloaded files" from the tool bar from the apple software update window, I click on the apple application support and I get this error:
An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.............................HRESULT: 0x8007054F
I can install the itunes and quicktime from the update window, but without the application support, i can't do anything with it. Please Help!
I'm using Vista and running Internet Explorer if that helps.

Once in "Local Security Policy", I had to go into "Local Policies" to find "User Rights Assignment", so if you're having trouble finding it, you might check that folder.
Ahhh! Thank you kindly. Sorry about that, I should have checked on the Vista box instead of on the XP Pro box.
Okay ... the key to the old iTunes issue was that there was a missing Administrators and/or SERVICE in there, so I think we've ruled that possibility out.
I think we can probably rule out the "broken Windows Modules Installer" possibility with you too. Although the poor folks with that variant of things (typically on Vista 64-bit Home Premium boxes) get a 1935 when they try to download the redistributable security update, they typically can't get any Windows Updates to install, and their error message codes are consistently Code 0x80070424 on both the failing Windows updates and the failing iTunes installs.
For the sake of folks following this thread, here's a link to the thread where we've done the bulk of the troubleshooting work (here to date) on that particular Code 0x80070424 variation:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10597133&#10597133
If you're game for more experimentation, there's a couple more things I can think of that might be worth pursuing.
The first one is operating system damage. If perhaps one or the other of those files we tried reregistering/resetting (using the Fixit) are damaged rather than deregistered or otherwise-grumpy, then an sfc scannow may be able to help with matters.
So perhaps try running an sfc /scannow as per the following document:
[How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833]
If the scannow reports that it can't repair any files, could you let us know what the sfcdetails.txt says about them?
If the scannow does find and repair damaged files, do you have any better luck with the updates and/or iTunes install?

A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer - dead lock

Hello,
trying to solve itunes problems, i tried to completely uninstall itunes, as mentioned in article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925?viewlocale=es_ES
(uninstall modules in order, verify uninstallation, reboot, and reinstall itunes)
However, it wasn't possible to reinstall itunes. Digging in forum i found a method to install part by part the application, by means of unraring the installer .exe file and executing modules independently.
The fist module: AppleApplicationSupport.msi won't install, because it does a check (erroneus check!!) and detects an inexistent version of Apple Application Support. It shows message: "A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer", and goes out.
After that, i can install itunes, but do not work.
I tried cleaning registry with msicuu2.exe, as mentioned somewhere to eliminate Application Support rests, but doesn't find any Application Support Installation.
Locked. Can't use iTunes.
Please, any help
Thank you very much.

Not yet. I tried apple telephone support, but couldn't get a definite answer.
In my opinion a installer program should try to install in every case, overriding any version that could be degraded. It's a nonsense that a installer program goes out without installing, suposing there are no degradation issues of the installation software.
Also, i think KB article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 may need a correction, as it doesn't work fine always, and the cure is worse than the disease.

TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install. Does not work. same message. What is a solution?

Is that an error 2 message?
If so, 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/
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.)

A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer.

I am trying to update / install iTunes 12.0.1.26. Apple Application Support will not install because it says there is already a later version installed. There is not! I have uninstalled after initial message and tried to reinstall but I still recieve the same message.

Good Afternoon, JohnHT2!
I think I have the fix to your issue.
I've been experiencing the same issue as you describe above. The issue occurred for me during the upgrade process from version 11.4.0.18 to version 12.0.1.26 (which is the current version downloadable from Apple). The installation sometimes appears to be okay, but the Apple Application Support fails to update correctly. In other instances, the iTunes installation fails completely with error 1603 (which is generic "fatal error" code).
Symptoms:
Just some of the symptoms I've noticed in my environment.
- In Programs & Features, there is no Apple Application Support to uninstall.
- In Event Viewer's Application log, you may see Event ID 10005 from Source MsiInstaller, stating the dreaded error message "A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer."
- In Event Viewer's Application log, you may see Event ID 1000 from Source Application Error, stating "Faulting application name: MsiExec.exe" along with a bunch of other error details.
- When attempting to start iTunes, you may receive popup error "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again".
- Uninstalling and installing iTunes fails, including via the steps described for a "full uninstall" as described here on the Apple site (for instance: Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates)
- Installing Apple Application Support via the extracted MSI (AppleApplicationSupport.msi) fails with the same error: "A later version of Apple Application Support is already installed on this computer."
- Installing previous versions of Apple Application Support fails with the same error (tried versions 10.7.0.21, 11.0.0.163, 11.0.1.012, 11.0.3.42, 11.1.0.126, 11.1.3.8, 11.2.2.3, 11.3.0.54, 11.3.1.2, 11.4.0.18). (now that I know the issue, I'm confident any previous version of the installer will fail).
- If you run the MSI installation with verbose logging, you may see lines stating: "PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding BNEWERPRODUCTISINSTALLED property. Its value is '1'." and "PreventDowngrade. Return value 1."
There may be other indications, but these are things we ran into. I'm trying to be detailed so that other folks who run into this issue may feel better about the below fixes being an option for them.
Resolutions:
I've found two ways to remedy the issue in our environment. You can either use the Microsoft FixIt utility to clean up the previous installation for us, or you can edit the registry manually to repair the installation. We're in an office and prefer not going computer-to-computer to fix everyone's issue independently, so we had to go via the registry. I was able to fix it via both ways, though.
Fix 1: Run the Microsoft Program Install Uninstall Troubleshooter.
For this fix you will need to be logged in as an administrator for the computer.
Here are the steps:
Download and Run the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall FixIt: [FixIt Link]
In the troubleshooter, choose: Detect problems and apply the fixes for me (Recommended)
Choose Installing
From the list, select Apple Application Support and click Next. (it actually does appear here!)
Select Yes, try uninstall. This step could take a while to process once it starts.
Once it confirms it is fixed, click Next.
Select "Yes, the problem has been fixed" and click Next.
Finish/close the FixIt tool.
Now the Apple Application Support will install successfully on your next attempt.
- If you don't have iTunes installed, you can simply run the latest downloaded installer: iTunes64Setup.exe
- If the other iTunes components are already installed, you will need to go to Programs & Features (or Add/Remove programs) and uninstall the iTunes program, then re-install the program from the downloaded installer: iTunes64Setup.exe
- If you have the MSI, you can simple run AppleApplicationSupport.msi and carry on happily. Make sure it's the right version of the MSI (right-click it, select Properties, go to the Details tab and verify the Comment line says "Apple Application Support 3.1"). If you don't know what an MSI is... ignore this and use the installer.
iTunes should work perfectly normally for you now.
Fix 2:
If you're like me and you need to repair iTunes over a larger number of computers, then Fix 1 quickly becomes too time consuming. Thankfully, a quick registry edit will resolve the issue as well.
For more advanced users; if you're not sure what the Windows Registry is, please tread very carefully and make sure you back up the registry before you change anything!
You'll need to be an administrator on the computer to do this.
Start Registry Editor.
In Windows 8.1, you can right-click the start menu (flag in the bottom-right corner) and choose Run. Then type "regedit" and click OK.
In Windows 8, go to the Start menu, click the magnifying glass (or just start typing) and search for "regedit". The first result should be "regedit.exe" - click that.
In Windows Vista, click the Start menu, then click the little arrowing pointing to the right (>) and choose Run. Then type "regedit" and click OK.
In Windows 7 or XP, click the Start menu orb, and choose "Run...". Then type "regedit" and click OK.
Make a backup of your registry.In Registry Editor, right-click on "Computer" and choose "Export". Save the file somewhere on your computer. You'll probably never need it.. which are famous last words. Better safe than sorry!
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\ED0FAC38B3D873C46A13B2F861CE0313\
If the key "ED0FAC38B3D873C46A13B2F861CE0313" doesn't exist, then go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products and make sure "Products" is highlighted.
Go to the Edit menu and choose "Find...".
Do a search for "Apple Application Support".
Your first result should be a ProductName value of "Apple Application Support".
Verify at the very bottom of Registry Editor that your current location is "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\[GUID], where GUID is an alphanumeric string that's 32 characters long.
Right-click "Version" and choose "Modify".
In Value Data, type 0 (the number zero) and click OK.
Close Registry Editor.
You should now be able to successfully install the AppleApplicationSupport.msi or re-install iTunes. If, for whatever reason, it still detects the wrong version, go back to the Registry Editor and delete the entire key from above (so, right-click on the 'folder' named "ED0FAC38B3D873C46A13B2F861CE0313" and select "Delete"). Should never be necessary, though..
In a Windows domain there are many ways to update the registry so use whatever works best for you. I'll be adding this as a special extra step in our SCCM deployment.
I hope this helps! It took us a good many hours to track down what was stopping us from resolving the issue (and/or causing it to begin with). Suffice to say we now have a whole bunch of users who are very happy to no longer get iTunes error messages when they log into their computers or attempt to start iTunes itself.
Have a great day!

Itunes won't open on my Vista Ultimate OS-error message is "ITunes won't open w/o Apple applications support, uninstalled and installed numerous time, QuickTime too?

Itunes will not boot on Vista Ultimate- error message is Itunes cannot opperate w/o Apple Application Support
ITunes has been uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, program files and Window files have been checked and deleted.
All I want to do is update my I4 IPhone

Quicktime doesn't open either and sends same error message

ITunes Application Support Won't Install

Whenever I try to install iTunes an error (Error 2) pops up saying that the application support is not available and tells me to unistall then reinstall the program. I do and the same thing still appears. I've tried multiple installations, turning off my fire wall and anti-virus. Nothing has worked. This is really frustrating because I can't access my iTunes account and I have no idea how to fix it.

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.)

Error Message: "Please install Apple Application Support" after QT7 Install

Greetings:
I attempted to update my Quicktime 6 application to QT7, but the install stopped partway through. I uninstalled Quicktime completely, and started over with a download and clean install of Quicktime 7.6.7. When I try to run my newly installed QT7.6.7, I get an ErrorMessage box with "Quicktime Player" in the header, and "Please install Apple Application Support." in the box.
What do I do now?
Thanks, Airpilot

7 september 2010
For some reason (Firewall / Internet security programs?) the Apple iTunes installation program doesn't install all the necessary components.
There is a way to manually unpack the installation program to it's 6 different components and install each component one by one.
(Advantage: you don't need to uninstall or deactivate your security programs)
Best thing to do is:
1) Download the iTunes installation program (directly from the Apple website
http://www.apple.com )to your desktop,
WITHOUT INSTALLING the iTunes application.
2) Download he WinRAR decompression/unpack utility (for example from:
http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html?tag=recommended Downloads )
and install it on your desktop for easy use.
3) Unpack the iTunes installation program, using WinRAR by rightclicking the
iTunes installation program and choose 'Open with WinRAR'.
Don't bother with the message from WinRAR about files beïng corrupt
(these are probably the unreadable 'Apple Mac' files).
4) You'l see that the original iTunes installation program consists of 6
different installation programs.
4 utility programs (necessary for iTunes to work correctly)
- Apple Application Support (Version: 1.3.2)
- Apple Software Update (Version: 2.1.2.120)
- Apple Mobile Device Support (Version: 3.2.0.47)
- Bonjour (Version: 2.0.3.0)
and 2 main programs
- Quicktime
- iTunes
Copy these 6 programs to your desktop with WinRAR,
where they will appear unpacked.
5) Install each program one by one IN CORRECT ORDER:
- First the 4 utility programs, one by one.
- Following this, install QuickTime.
- Install iTunes as last.
6) Check the Windows installed programs list to see if they're all installed.
You can check the versions of te programs by clicking the information toolbar
for each program.
Good Luck..!

Apple Application Support won't download

I've tried almost everything. I've been lurking the support forums for a week or two now, and tried every method I've seen that has worked for others, but haven't had the same luck for myself. Whenever I try to download iTunes by itself, I get this error:
[IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/34doaiq.jpg[/IMG]
How can I fix it without buying a new computer?

HRESULT: 0x8007054f
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. Do they fail to install? If so, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 8007054Fs, or a different error code? If they're different, what codes are you getting in Windows Update?

Error in installing Apple Application Support preventing installation of iTunes, please help

I am trying to install iTunes for Windows (64 bit) but have been unsuccessful because I receive the following error message: "Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type+"win32",version="8.0.50727.6195"publicKeyToken="1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x80070BC9.
After receiving this error message the installation continues, but iTunes is never able to launch because it says that Apple Application Support is not installed. I have tried separately installing Apple Application Support only to receive the same error message as above. Please advise on how I can install iTunes properly or what this error message means.

Please install Apple Application Support

Hello everyone,
I need some help here because every time I try to open up iTunes or try to open up Quicktime I keep getting this annoying error message which states "Please install Apple Application Support." As an alternative I can run my personal Quicktime movie files and iTunes music using Windows Media Player but when it comes to watching my purchased iTunes Movies or TV Shows its a NO GO most likely because they are encrypted and can only be authorized through a Apple product which puts me in a predicament of a) Not being able to watch my movie or TV purchases from iTunes, b) Not having the ability to access iTunes to purchase episodes of my favorite TV shows and movies when they become available. I've already gone to the Apple Support site and followed the instructions to completely uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime (In that order) and then reinstalled them (In that order) but I keep getting this same error message so If anyone can provide assistance ASAP I'd really... really... appreciate it.
