Can't install Itunes 8, when instal starts error saying "invalid drive e:/"

I had the oitunes version before 8 came out and now that it did I tryied to upgrade it but an error message came up saying "invalid drive e:/" so I went and looked for a solution so I tried uninstalling it and installing it agian but the error message still comes up, so now I'm stuck with no itunes at all. I checked my computer and I don't have a drive called e:/ so I don't know what is going on, can anyone help me please????

At some point, for your computer, the registry settings for the location of folders, such as "My Music" have been changed to point to a drive E: that is no longer there or maybe was never there.
What you need to do is go into your registry and look for this E: drive.
Unfortunately, there are multiple entries in your registry that can point off into the distance. What I do is go into regedit and just look for "My Music". On my system, which is going to be different because it's Vista 64 bit, the registry keys of interest are:
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
HKEY_USERS\<long random meaning number that is user specific>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
If that doesn't work, look through the registry for E:\. Somewhere you've got a system variable in your registry pointing to a drive that doesn't exist.
Another option is to get a USB thumb drive and map it to E:\ so that you have a drive on E: and then everything should work.

  • When installing iTunes 10 I get an error message "Invalid Drive: F:|". ANy advice?

    When installing iTunes 10 I get an error message "Invalid Drive: F:|". ANy advice?

    Bissley,
    I have received this error in the past and it is usually caused by Windows automatically changing your external drive letters when you install. There are two ways around it; first, follow the directions provided by b noir. Second, within iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced
    Under the advanced options you'll see a recessed section called "iTunes Media folder location". Although you may have set this in the past it, if Windows changed your drive letters it will no longer be valid. Default is usually "C:\blah\blah\mymusic"
    Changing it just a matter of clicking "change" and finding your music folder again or change your drive letter back (if it changed at all).
    If Windows is changing your drive letters, it is best to set them yourself so that everytime you plug in the devices they use the letter you assigned. Here is a link for that process:

    Hope it helps.

  • I installed itunes, and when it starts, it says the program has stopped working.  I uninstalled and reinstalled, same thing

    I recently installed Itunes on my laptop, and was able to add music to it, but then it would always pop up a window that said itunes had stopped working anytime I opened it.  I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, and it's doing the same thing.  Please help!!!!

    When you get to the license recovery kit, type sudo, leave a space and drag LicenseRecover.py into

  • TS1829 i cannot install itunes .. when i start installing is says "installing apple appliaction support" and it stops there .. What can i Do ?

    I cannot install itunes.
    I downloaded i tenes and when i started installing it , it says "installing apple application support" and stops there
    What can i do ?

    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 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.

    I try to install itunes 10 on my windows vista SP1. After installation, while the application is about to start, there is a message 'the file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes'.
    Thank you for the solution guys.

    Try these directions:

    The title of the article does not match what you are seeing, but it has worked for others.
    Skip step #2, of course.
    In step #7, instead of dragging the file over, I would copy & paste it. That will leave the original in the same spot in case you ever need it again.

  • When installing itunes I received the following error "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start, verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

    when installing itunes I received the following error "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start, verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

    Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
    You're not alone buddy.
    Frustrated.
