Can't install ITunes on Windows 2003 server (WHS box)

Hi,
I can't install the latest ITunes because it incorrectly mistakes my Windows 2003 server as Windows XP. So after search I find that I can change the MSI files as according to this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2154140.
This seems to work for all MSI file sin the ITunes etup exe except for this: AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi. If I change the MSI LaunchConditions it gives my error 2229 no matter what.
So I'm stuck. Should I call Apple next?

I can't help you with the error you get, but just to clarify while iTunes isn't "officially" supported for use on Server 2003, it does work. Sort of. iTunes 8 could be installed by editing the MSI, iTunes 9 however while this method is still required you'll run into a problem with iPodService.exe crashing, and iTunes refuses to finish the install until that service is up and running.
There are a few topics on here that detail what you can do to get around this problem. I believe currently the only tried and tested method is to use the iPodService.exe from iTunes 8, doing a swap trick when the iTunes 9 service crash occurs so that you can at least get the application to install.
I can't be bothered to go to the trouble though. I'm interested in seeing if Apple will silently stop with the BS and just fix the installer's version mismatch errors (easily done), and fix iPodService.exe. The reason why the service crashes, according to what I've read, is because it seemingly misidentifies Server 2003 and similar OS's as Vista or Windows 7, and then begins calling functions for those OSs from ntdll.dll - which causes the crash.
As for your error, presumably that is with Orca. All I could find relating to the errors is something about transforming the MSI and language translations. It could also be because of an older version of Orca. Perhaps try and re-download iTunes, and extract the MSI packages again. But you should only need to edit the LaunchCondition for AppleMobileDevice.msi - and you don't need to delete the table either, you can simply change the number in NTVersion from 501 to 502, save the package and it'll all work. It did for me when I first tried it anyway.

Are you trying to install the 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, or vice versa?
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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Can't install itunes on windows 7 it tells me a file is missing

can't install itunes on windows 7 it tells me a file is missing (there is a problem with the windows installer package. A programme required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact you support personell or packege vendor. what do i do?

Well I tried to repair apple update and some other apple prgs in uninstall in control panel. Went back to a restore point. BUT I think the key thing is that I took the courage to uninstall iTunes and then downloaded it again from apple's website and low and behold it had worked!!!!
So forget reinstalling DO a brand new instal as it has worked for me.

I can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

i can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

I've been having the same issues for the past year and a half. I've spent 6-8months trying to figure it out. Went to various Itunes stores with pictures on my Iphone per each step so I could relay all information that I'd come across and the personnel were less than helpful, after conversations that would sometimes last an hour between myself, employees and managers they always came back to "simply uninstall then reinstall" when I told them for the thousanth time that I've done that multiple times and my errors are happening while trying to reinstall it they act stumped and say "well then I'm not sure, I'll give you a call if I figure it out" and disappear. I've been very disatisfied at the lack of support from Apple and if Android to piece together a reletively reliable phone I'd switch to them in a heartbeat. I'll follow this question incase someone can answer this, but I don't have much faith.
BTW, wifey has Windows 7 running on the laptop and my phone syncs just fine to that and no trouble with itunes, just mine (desktop).

Installing problem on Windows 2003 Server 64 bit

Dear All,
I'am trying to install XE onto a Windows 2003 Server 64 bit.. The installation process ends without any errors but the database itself seems not to start.
I tried several hints that have been mentioned here within the forum. But none of them worked. While experimenting I saw that there is not a single registry entry of Oracle within HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\Software .
Is there a possiblity to set those needed registry entries manually? Is there a script for that purpose?
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards
Matthias

Hi,
thank you for your reply. As 32bit programs should run under Windows 64bit I thought the XE should run under 64bit, too.
The installation of XE itself seems to finish without any errors. But within the log files it can be read that the database has not started up due to a out of memory problem. This causes many log entries within all other logfiles as no database could be created.
The out of memory problem might be the same as within Advice on running XE on a small virtual Linux host ("Virtuozzo") because I am using a virtual windows 2003 server with "Virtuozzo", too.
At this time I am on discussing the issue with the provider. Maybe I will get a dedicated server with Windows Server 2003 64bit. Hopefully the XE could be installed on the 64bit Windows Server because 32bit dedicated servers are rare.
Best regards
Matthias

Installing 9i on windows 2003 server

i am trying to install oracle 9i on windows 2003 server, but i got an error message, like the following...
"There are no patches that need to be applied from the patch set Oracle 9iR2 Patch set 9.2.0.3.0."
i can't find a version(9.2.0.3) for windows 2003 server(32bit) on oracle download section. I think that windows 2003 server doesn't support the Oracle 8i(8.1.7), either.
can someone help me install Oracle 8i or 9i on windows 2003 server?
Thanks...

I'm not sure there is a supported version for your O/S but if there is you will find it by going to the downloads page at http://otn.oracle.com.
If there isn't I'd recommend going with a currently supported version of the product rather than one whose full support has ended.

Can't install itunes in windows vista

i'm just upgrade my gf's PC from Windows XP to Vista. I find that I can't install itunes. As it said visualbsic script is missing or disabled. How can i solve it??

I think it would be a good idea to scan for malware as malware often interferes with Windows Update.
Download Malware bytes and run a full scan, there is a free version:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
In services, check the Window Update service. It should show as "started" and start up type automatic.
The other thing is to run the system file checker:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
This will attempt to fix problems and if it will not run, that is another clue to the problem.

Can't install itunes on Windows 8.1

Hello,
I have a brand new Windows 8.1 64 bit laptop PC, and I can't install itunes. I have tried downloading using internet explorer and firefox, and it doesn't even get as far as downloading. A message appears on the apple website saying thank you for downloading, but nothing happens, no error messages, no downloads, nothing. To clarify, itunes has never been installed on this PC. Thanks

Mac can't search on a Windows 2003 server

We are using a Mac G5 running OSX (10.3.9) and are not able to search for files on our Windows 2003 server. We also can't index the server from this Mac.
The Macs and the Window server are fully up to date.
We are using AFP for the network connection. (We need to use AFP to maintain the Apple File Links.)
Our Windows PC can search files on the server with no problems.
Please help! Any advice is appreciated!!

Same here. I'm seeing the same error.
When I look at my Windows share, I see that Pages is trying to create a folder with several subfolders: Data and Metadata, plus index.zip, preview-micro.jpg, preview-web.jpg, and preview.jpg files.
I don't think this is a Mavericks issue, although I upgraded to Mavericks and Pages 5.0 at the same time. I still have the older version of Pages. It works just fine.

Hi Consultor
I'm from mexico, an our experience is:
1) Install in english language as default
2) With the Transaction code I18N and SMLT, you could add the spanish language.
3) Set default language as Spanish in the profiles
Check the parameters: zcsa/installed_languages and zcsa_system_language
Please reward points if helpful

Installing iTunes on Windows Home Server.

I've installed iTunes on my Windows Home Server and connected it to my AppleTV. To have it running 24/7 I need to log onto WHS run iTunes then exit without logging off. Is there any way to run iTunes as a Windows SERVICE ?

TS1829 Can't install iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit system

I get this message: "errors occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured" while trying to install iTunes 64 bit on Windows 7 64 bit. Tried turning windows Defender and running it but same result. Itunes worked fine on Vista, but since going to Win 7, no luck. Can't update iPhone or anything :-(

Are there any special charaters in your user name? I know that has caused issues in the past. You might need to contact Adobe support for this one.

Can not install itunes on window 7 64 bit

When ever I try to install itunes 10.6.3, I receive a message "the installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured....errors occured during installation". I have attempted to install itunes using the "download only" method. I have also uninstalled all previous versions of the software but nothing works. Help!!!!

An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\com.apple.Safari.client.resources\pt.lproj
So after I have to hit cancel I get another message saying basically error code 2330.
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
