Can't install the current version of iTunes

I have itunes 8 installed. I successfully downloaded the current version of iTunes (I downloaded it using Firefox and IE - not sure what version, but it's a later version) and attempted to install it, I got this error message:
*An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, version="8.0.50727.4053", type="win.32", publickeytoken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processor Architecture="X86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F.*
Whatever it had installed up to that point, it proceeded to uninstall. And, now, I cannot even use the iTunes that was already installed as it says: *"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."*
Can anyone help me? I have been having problems with my computer. I'm using Vista and have been having crashing problems and Windows updates have not been able to install. I know I need to contact Microsoft, or Dell, again (yes, they have not been able to help me) - could that be why I'm having problems installing iTunes? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!

+I backed everything up before installing the new Windows operating system.+
That's good news. How did you back it up? Did you save the entire itunes folder? Or just the itunes music subfolder?
What you need is your library file from the old system.
iTunes Library.ITL
This iLounge article explains why you need that ITL file.

About the authorization, you have just lost one authorization, since that Vista system is gone.
Once you reach 5 auths, you can do a deauthorize all. My work PC got upgraded while I was on vacation one year and I lost an auth that way. Since I am only up to 4 machines, I don't worry about it.

You might want to spend $2 and get a 3rd-party ipod manager program that is much easier to use than iTunes for getting everything back from your ipod.

    (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
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. 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?

  • After installing the current version of iTunes, I get an AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found error. It says "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll."

    After installing the current version of iTunes, I get an AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found error. It says "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll." Kindly advice a process to get rid of this error, without losing my files on the iTunes.

    Hi, I get the same error EVERY time iTunes updates.
    I have to do the fix that is suggested in this topic (cut and paste the sqlite3.dll)
    My Question:
    Since this happens every time iTunes updates...... Do I have to remove SQlite3.dll from the "apple application support" folder....... so that the sqlite3.dll is only located in the "mobile device support" folder?????
    It is getting really annoying to have to do the "cut and paste" fix every time iTunes updates.
    Thank You,
    Steve

  • I can't install the newest version of iTunes.

    I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, but when I try to install it, I get a Windows Installer error that "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." When I launch the current version of iTunes, I keep getting a popup window that the AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working. I don't even know what that might mean, but if I ignore the popup window, multiple windows continue opening up. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how can I get rid of these errors?
    Thanks.

    With that one, see the following announcement:

  • Can't install the latest version of iTunes.

    Says I am missing a folder called iTunes.msi
    This has been happening for months.
    I haven't been able to install the current versions of Quicktime either.

    Says I am missing a folder called iTunes.msi
    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. 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 iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I can't install the new version of iTunes or delete the old version

    i have a new iTiouch and can't load the new version of iTunes. it downloaded fine but said installation failed because the "older version of apple software update" or something like that. so, i uninstalled and deleted (or thought i did) all the itunes programs i could find and still get the same error message. i can download but can't install the 9.0.2 iTunes because for some reason it thinks i still have an old version of iTunes. How can i get rid of the old version? thought i got rid of it all. i did a search for all files relating to itunes and apple and deleted them but some how it still thinks i have an "old version". i need the new version installed so i can use my new itouch. HELP!

    it downloaded fine but said installation failed because the "older version of apple software update" or something like that.

  • I can not install the new version of itunes.

    Everytime I try to install the new version of itunes my system locks up.  I am logged in as administrator so I know that is not the problem.  Any suggestions?

    FYI
    I had to turn off my anti-virus completely to get the install to work.

  • Can't install the newest version of iTunes

    Hi.
    I am trying to download the newest version of iTunes, its going about 3/4 of the way through the process then an error message is coming up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network that is unavailable. Click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the instillation programe 'i tunes .msi' in the box below".
    I've tried clicking OK but it brings up the same message and cannot find a folder that it needs.
    When I click cancel, it says "The older version of Itunes cannot be removed"
    Any Ideas???
    Cheers

  • HELP! i can't install the latest version of itunes.

    .i just uninstalled the last version i had..and then tried reinstalling it and it still won't work...it says Error> microsoft.vc80.crt.type=''win32''

    we're sorry but Windows PowerShell failed to install
    Hmmmm. Googling indicates it's not an especially uncommon issue, but I'm not sure of the best way to proceed with it.
    I think it'd be best if we get you on the radar screens of Windows Update specialists.
    Try posting over at the Windows Update forums at Microsoft Answers:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_update
    In your post there, list the updates that are not installing and the error message codes that you're getting for each one. Also mention the error message you get when running the Fixit. (Provide a link to the page with the Fixit on it, so they know which particular Fixit you've been having trouble with.)
    If the Microsoft Answers folk get your Updates installed for you, can you then install the new iTunes version?

  • Can't install the newest version of iTunes...or anything else!

    I just got a new macbook pro today, and it shipped with snow leopard and a slightly older version of iTunes than my older macbook had.
    the problem is I can't run iTunes as I get a message that says "The file "iTunes library" cannot be read because it was made with a older version of iTunes". I try to upgrade by downloading the newest version from apple.com and run the installer, but the installer never finishes and I get error message that says "The installer encountered a error that caused the installation to fail, contact the software developer"
    I also get a error message when trying to update iTunes or any other software with software update.

  • I need to install Numbers, but my MacBook can't install the current version (I'm running 10.6.8). Where can I get an older version?

    As the question says!

    The App Store version of iWork ‘09 programs (Pages, Numbers & Keynote) will only work with 10.7 or 10.8 with the latest update requiring 10.9. You can get the Work ’09 DVD which will run on 10.6  on eBay or Amazon.com fairly cheap.
