Can't install iTunes, QuickTime is causing error

When I tried to update to iTunes 10 the wheels just fell off!
I have gone through all the steps of uninstalling all of the iTunes components in the recomentrded order. I have run reg cleaner and some unistall software. But I still get a message that says "there is a newer version of QuickTime installed" and the installtion does not complete. There is no Apple softwre on my PC according to control panel and and add/remove. What now any ideas? Could it be an issue with Windows Installer?

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).

Can't install iTunes on Windows 7 - error code 2329

I just installed Windows 7 on my computer and now am trying to re-install iTunes...I uninstalled it before upgrading from Vista to 7 because a compativbility scan said that iTunes could cause problems with the installation of Windows 7
Now, after saving and running the iTunes installer on my computer, I get error code 2329 while trying to install. I believe this happens when it is trying to initially install Quicktime, which I actually still have installed on my computer...
I have tried uninstalling Quicktime, but I get the same error code during that process
I have also tried installing iTunes by going to the Apple Software Update instead of saving and running the file from the internet, but it fails also....
Please help!

Now, after saving and running the iTunes installer on my computer, I get error code 2329 while trying to install. I believe this happens when it is trying to initially install Quicktime, which I actually still have installed on my computer...
The 2329 appears to be associated with file/disk damage, lora (much like the more-common 2330).
So we should try first running a disk check over the drive your QuickTime program files are stored on. For instructions, see:
[How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)|http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html]
Try checking both boxes. The scan should take quite a while. If the scan aborts fairly quickly (even if you do it on Start-up), try rebooting the PC, disconnecting from your network and/or the internet, and disabling all security software on the PC (firewall/antivirus/antispyware) prior to doing the disk check. (Real-Time scans of your drive by your security software can interfere with disk checks.)
Reenable all your security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, are you able to do the iTunes install afterwards?

My Itunes would not update. The I was told to uninstall everything. Now I can not install Itunes, there is an error everytime. How do I fix this? Please help me!

It started with my itunes not being able to update and it said errors. Then I uninstalled multiple programs the forums told me to do. Still had errors trying to uninstall. Then tried to reinstall, errors. Then tried to go back and restore my computer to a previous time when Itunes was working. It has disapeared. The programs I have tried to "repair" in ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS are:
ITUNES
APPLE APPLICATION SUPPORT
APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE
BONJOUR
QUICKTIME
The error says: The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
I thought I uninstalled all these programs, but they are still there, yet I can't find Itunes to open it. I tried connecting my Ipod to see if Itunes would open and it won't.
The only thing I can think of is to wipe out my whole computer to the basics and start over?!?!
I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS AND I CAN'T FIND A SOLUTION ON THESE FORUMS. HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

I fixed it! Here's how:
I downloaded MICROSOFT FIX IT PROGRAM (IT'S FREE) and I REALLY RECOMMEND IT!
http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/
IT FIXED MY ERRORS FOR INSTALLING AND UNINSTALLING. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PROPERLY UNINSTALL ITUNES/BONJOUR ECT.
THEN I REINSTALLED AND IT WORKED!
I have trying to updat my itunes for almost a year I think. So I am excited!!!!

Can't install iTunes + Quicktime

"quicktime is not a valid short file name"????
That's usually related to trouble with the QuickTime.msi.
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have 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. 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 QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Are you able to uninstall iTunes and QuickTime?
You might have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, which would allow you to remove some applications that you can't from Control Panel.
Also, take a look at this Apple document -> Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.

Can't install iTunes due to Quicktime failing to install

I'm on Vista (sad face) and over the past couple months iTunes has worked on and off...working and then I get an error saying "iTunes has stopped working" and then I have to mess with everything uninstalling/installing to get it working again.
However last week, when it happened I uninstalled iTunes and then attempted to uninstall Quicktime but it would not remove Quicktime off the list even after restarts. Then I ran the newest iTunes + Quicktime installer and it just goes until it gives me and error saying "The installer encountered errors before the requested operation for Quicktime could be compleated" and takes me to the complete box saying try again later. So the problem is with Quicktime because it won't uninstall/install and thus I can not install iTunes.
I have tried using the stand-alone Quicktime installer and have gotten the same error. I have also tried Apple Software Updater and no dice. I am getting very frustrated nothing seems to work and I need to update my iPod! Please help!
Thanks!

+I finally got QuickTime uninstalled (it wouldn't give me errors uninstalling, it just wouldn't uninstall) via Windows CleanUp Utility.+
After you used CleanUp, did you manually remove any leftover QuickTime program files?
If not, let's run through a CleanUp routine again.
Run CleanUp and remove the QuickTime entry.
1. On the Start menu, click Computer.
2. In Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
Go into "Uninstall a program" in your Control Panel (assuming here that you don't have Classic View selected) and select itunes. click "Repair" up at the top of the control panel screen.
If the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. Does it launch properly now?

Error 0x800736FD when installing iTunes + QuickTime

Well, I finally caved. I bought my first digital portable media player. The people on the street were throwing things at me, and my doctor said he might have to operate my shoulder. The boombox had to go!
So, I'm trying to install iTunes. My Dell machine came with an "Apple Software Update" program installed. It's been bugging me to install iTunes since I got it, so this time I clicked OK and let do its thing.
The automatic updater "Apple Software Update" is trying to install "iTunes + QuickTime" version 7.4.3. It goes through the download phase OK, then starts the installation. After about 10 minutes (wherein the installation has not progressed in the last 9 minutes), an error message appears in a separate window:
iTunes + QuickTime
(X) An error has occured during the installation of Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc...",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762" ,processorArchitecture="x86". Refer to Help for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD.
Has anyone seen this before or know how I can get around it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried downloading iTunes yourself and installing it manually?
You can download the iTunes installer from here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

While installing itunes i am getting error "this installation package could not be opened.verify that the package exists and that you can access it,or contact the appliacation vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package"

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
