Can i download apple software update only?

Windows 7 won't let me install iTunes 10.5.1. Getting that nasty "microsoft.vc80.crt whatever message. Folk suggest repairing apple software update program, but guess what, I've already uninstalled that as part of the removal of all apple programs. Can I just dowload the update program?

The software update program is not available (to the best of my knowledge) as a stand-alone download. It gets installed as part of iTunes, Quicktime, and Safari.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5/6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I can't uninstall Apple Software Update.

In trying to uninstall ITunes, I was given a checklist from Apple Support to uninstall certain programs in a specific order. I need to reinstall ITunes, and they said that I needed to remove it first. I am running a Windows 7, 64 bit HP laptop. No program is removing this and it very specifically says to not remove them out of order.
Below are the instructions sent to me. (I tried to copy and paste. However, it doesn't look good, so I will include the link that Apple sent to me.)
Can someone please help?

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 the 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.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

HT2305 how do I download apple software update for windows 7?

I somehow lost the Apple Software Update program on my Windows 7 laptop. Is it needed? if so, where do I find it to download it?

It's possible to keep up to date by downloading installers for new versions of software from the Apple downloads site:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/
... if your ASU has just been uninstalled, an update using one of those installer bundles would most probably also reinstall ASU.
If your ASU is damaged in some way, however, that can lead to some troubles using the installers downloaded from the downloads site. For example, see the following user tip:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows
... so it might be worth investigating a repair install of ASU (as per the instructions in that user tip), if you've got iTunes installed and want to keep that up to date.

Where to download Apple Software Update?

Hi,
I accidentally deleted a software called "Apple Software Update" on Windows 7 and I used it a lot of times for updates. I would like to know where can I download this software again?
Thank you

How can I remove Apple Software update from Programs in Control Panel. I grt a message that there is an error in Windows Installer Package?

I get this message: "A program required for this install to complete could not be run.
There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package". OS, Windows 7-64

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Can´t download iPhone software update

Hi,
I'm new to the iPhone and every time I sync it I get asked about the newest update (2.2) so I tell iTunes to download it, apparently it's quite heavy. The thing is that after one minute or so the downloading is interrupted and get an error 9006.
I've tried multiple times with no results. Help please?
And thanks in advance

Apple Software Updater On 64-Bit

I run QuickTime Player and Apple Software Updater on a Windows 7 64-bit system. My problem echoes those recent postings under the Windows topic. Yesterday, while runing the updater, I kept getting a blank program box. Usually it shows what is available in addition to detecting updates for what one has. Yesterday this page was not available; so I uninstalled both QuickTime and the Updater so I could reinstall them new. The Repair feature in Add/Remove Programs already failed to fix the problem. The reinstallation did not work either. The discovery of this problem is disappointing because this aspect of Apple's Windows software was efficient to the extent that sometimes it was the only way to install an update. Still, I can use QuickTime to detect its available updates; but can we expect Apple to fix this problem?

SOLVED IT
Right click on Apple Software Update in the Start Menu and bring up the Properties Window
Select the Security tab
Select your Username (don't worry about what rights the computer Administrators group has, it does not apply here) and select Edit
After you pressed Edit, you should have a Window that shows all the computer groups (Administrators, etc.) and usernames (yours and other users (if any)) on your computer. Select yours.
Change your Rights to Full Control, press OK.
Press Apply, applying the changed settings to Apple Software Update, then press OK to close the Properties Window.
You can now run Apple Software Update and see what programs (updates) there are to download. For some reason, the latest update which came down gave the computer user (in this case, you--meaning pitiful us) no rights other than deleting. This meant that we could not see anything--no updates, nothing. What we just did through this list was give the ability back to the user.

Apple Software Update cannot be removed during install

I have tried updating to the new 64-bit version of iTunes 9.1 several times, and every time it will get all the way to the end and say "The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Please contact your technical support group." It then says the iTunes installer has been interrupted and did not finish the download. I tried to manually remove the Apple Software Update, but it said "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
What do I do? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I've even tried doing the download without checking the automatic updates option at the beginning of the installation.

First try heading in to your Add/Remove programs control panel and see if you can uninstall Apple Software Update from there.
If you can't uninstall Apple Software Update from there, or it doesn't appear in there, or if you seem to successfully uninstall it from there, but you still get the same message when you try to install iTunes, try the following procedure.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now run the utility (“Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up”), select any *Apple Software Update* entries in the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, and then click “Remove”.
Now quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
