Can't install iTunes 10.5.3.3 x64 on Windows 7, the installer encountered errors
I have uninstalled all of Apple software many times and reinstalled 10.4 x64, which works. I tried running the installation as administrator. I gave everyone permission to install. I have turned off my anti-virus software. No success.
Try this approach as it worked in my situation. Just a shot-
I found msicuu2.exe (Windows Installer Cleanup Utility) for free and used that tool to remove iTunes from my machine and then reinstalled iTunes. This fixed my problem. Microsoft use to have the tool on their site to download and no longer do (I can only assume since it was so easy to use that people removed things they shouldn't have and it became to big a pain for Microsoft to deal with). With that said, I was able to find the tool at another site. It was an easy fix after I installed the cleanup utility and I had iTunes reinstalled in minutes.
Was getting errors due to a previous windows installer package corrupted and not deleted. (last itunes update). Download from the internet and run this program selecting Itunes to be removed. (you won't lose your music content), then restart your computer. When you restart re-download Itunes 10.5.3 and reinstall. It will automatically reload a non corrupted installer package and will go find all your music, files, etc. to restore by itself. No problems what so ever resinstalling and getting all my stuff to add to my new Touch afterwards.
note: I spent hours researching this issue and it worked in my case. Hopefully it helps-

HELP!!!
I am trying to install iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop and get this error:
"The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"
Arghhhhh!! I've tried different browsers and various other things suggested on other posts to no availOk people, I think I have found the solution !
If you click on the start button from your desktop screen.
Then in the "search programs and files" field type : apple software update - you can find the apple installer.
Click on the apple software update line and let the machine run it's course. I recommend updating whatever it wants to , ie: safari 5, quicktime, itunes....
I then restarted my computer and it seems to be working now !
Good luck everyone ! -
What do I do when I am trying to install my new version of itunes, and it says this: The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified.
I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

Can I install lightroom on both a MacBook and a Windows with the same license??
Yes...the license is cross platform and allows 2 licenses installed (cross platform), not to be used at the same time.

AMDS could not be installed . The installer encountered errors
After installing ios 7 to my iphone it was necessary to update itunes on my computer (Windows 7 / 64) But this wasn't possible because following error occurs: "Apple Mobile Device Support was't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. ..." The last instance of AMDS, that runs without problems is 5.2.0.6. I have uninstalledItunes and AMDS using the win 7 uninstalling tools.
Hello Sterling r,
I have uninstalled and installed itunes / bonjour / apple software update / apple application support and apple mobile device support several times using the latest update - but that doesn't help. Perhaps I didn't uninstall at the first time in the correct order, so that a part of apple mobile device support remains and now can't be installed correct ( the installer encountered errors ....) . The german error code in the hardware manager is "Die digitale Signatur der für dieses Gerät erforderlichen Treiber kann nicht überprüft werden. Bei einer vor Kurzem durchgeführten Änderung an Hardware oder Software wurde möglicherweise eine Datei installiert, die falsch signiert oder beschädigt ist. Möglicherweise handelt es sich auch um schädliche Software einer unbekannten Quelle. (Code 52)".
Kind regards

New 7.6 iTunes64Setup.exe "The installer encountered errors before iTunes..
I am using Vista 64 bit. Used 64 bit IE to download the proper file
iTunes64Setup.exe
from
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
But I get this error when I try to install:
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit the installer.
I tried installing when logged in as an administrator, and again as a a user, again same results. I tried uninstalling 32 bit iTunes 7.5 and rebooting, but the issue still remains. I manually wiped away the
c:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory (had only one file in there after uninstall), same problem.
FYI, this is just my secondary machine, so I'm not worried about loosing anything. So registry cleaning likely. But first, I'll try installing on a pristine 64 bit Vista virtual machine, just to see if the installer binary itself runs correctly on a machine without a history of iTunes 32 bit.
Is this a known issue with 7.6 64 bit? Is there a workaround?
There are many search hits for similar errors under 7.5 32 bit, but I seem to be alone with this error with 64 bit installer, for now...FYI, I downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe again (not from cache), despite same exact filesize on my hard drive, this time, no install error, problem solved. So perhaps Apple uses no built-in CRC error detection, but at least it works now. I'm so glad 64 bit Vista is finally properly supported without errors about CD burning when you start it (I never bothered with the gear drivers workaround).
I did notice it still installs in the
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory despite being a 64 bit app, not sure if that matters, and not sure if it's a side effect of having 32 bit version in that directory previously. -
I can't install iTunes 11.0.3 (64bit) for my window 8
Hello there
Today i got trouble with my iTunes so I can't install new version (11.0.3) for my Window

Please help me >"<I keep getting an error message saying it can't dis-install the old version Missing itunes64 files.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

I began this trouble shooting exercise by selecting Download Only through the Apple Update applet. Running the msi manually did not resolve the problem. In fact, it was more frustrating because the download package would disappear after running even though it failed, and I had to download it again. "Cleanup" I suppose. <frown>
I followed advice to remove the Apple Software Update program, reboot and re-run the msi. That did not resolve the failure.
I then followed advice to set permissions for Administrators on registry key HKLM\Software\Micorosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Com ponents
then reboot and run the update msi again. This also did not resolve the failure.
I downloaded the installer from the Apple download site as though it were a fresh install, and - voila! - it installed correctly and all content and settings were preserved. Hopefully that is all that is needed, not the steps above. Let me know! http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ -
Well basically like it says in the question, when the installer runs through to what I assume is near 90% completion, an error message pops up saying that the installer is unable to find/run a program it needs, and as helpful as it is, the installer neglects to tell me what program I need to download/install for the iTunes installer to complete, as it is, I am at a total loss for how to resolve the issue, I couldn't find anything about this on FAQ's, but if it's there, please let me know; however, I'm welcoming all advice, thank you.
Let's try the following user tip with that one:

I've been having trouble with my computer ever since I turned it back on after leaving for six months and now every time I try to install certain things or update things it says there's an error that occurs and it's keeping me from downloading stuff like Google Chrome and iTunes. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm running windows xp 32 bit.
I am having a similar problem, except I'm running Vista 32 bit. I haven't had issues with any other software but iTunes is giving me no end of trouble. The problem started when I tried updating to the .4 version of iTunes when it first came out. I could still use the program and transfer data from iTunes to my iPhone so I didn't worry too much about it. Recently though I wanted to upgrade my iPhone software but received a message saying I need to upgrade my iTunes before I can upgrade my iPhone. After a few tries iTunes won't even RECOGNIZE my iPhone. I keep getting an error that the mobile device recognition isn't working.
I tried uninstalling iTunes and installing the new download directly from the iTunes website. I used Chrome, Mozilla, and Internet Explorer with the same results. I think my computer may be corrupted and I need to wipe the harddrive. I really don't want to get to that point but if someone smarter then me doesn't have answer soon I think that is my only option. -

How can I install iTunes and only scan locations on PC without scanning the whole PC?
New to iTunes... Want to install but want to control where is scans for media.
iTunes will only scan teh very first time it is installed on a computer.
After you install it, select No when it asks to scan.
Then iTunes menu File > Add folder to library and select what you want. -
Installer is being run as admin. Bonjour service is installed and running.
The lack of information is a bit frustrating... nothing in event viewer that I can see..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.
