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.

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?

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?

TS3212 Can't install the latest version of ITunes.

The installer files download, but partway through installation, I get an error message saying "There is a problem with the Windows Installer package. A program required for the install to complete could not be run." Then the installation terminates. How do I fix the issue with this progam?

Hey socestlavie,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

When I start iTunes I get the following message. "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-42404)" I have installed the latest version of iTunes but still get this message. Can anyone help.

Hello mustangcim243,
iTunes has various components bundled with it that it requires for general usage. I advise that we completely remove iTunes and all of these related components, verify that they have been removed, then reinstall. To do so, please follow the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Note: it is important to remove the 7 components in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
If the above does not resolve your issue, I recommend we reset the SC Info folder:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
(See Step 4: Remove the SC Info folder)
Thanks,
Matt M.

After installing the latest version of iTunes , I can no longer export files from EZ Vinyl Converter to iTunes. I tried restoring an older version which accepted these files, but that version no longer will open my library. I have been archiving my albums

After installing the latest version of iTunes, I can no longer export music files converted by EZ Vinyl Conversion software to iTunes, which is the only export option available in the software. I have been converting my vinyl records, tapes and cd's to MP3 files in iTunes for about a year now, and have well over 1000 man-hours invested in this effort. I tried restoring the last version of iTunes, but it will no longer read my library, as, apparently, the new version modified the library file(s) in some way. I want to reenable this export-import function to finish my archival. What is necessary ???

Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting GEAR drive is from:

I can't get the latest version of itunes to update correctly. It seems to hang up on installing 2 items, running package scripts.
I've tried downloading through the browser with no luck too. Suggestions?

Have you tried removing your existing version of iTunes prior to doing the install, willie? See the following document for instructions:

Hi emeldafromaz,

The requirement shoul be on the box the iphone came in. they are also on the website
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)"

I installed the lastest version of iTunes and when I went to manually sync my iPod I got a message saying error -50. I tried re-installing the latest version of iTunes but that did not work. I then tried re-installing an earlier version of iTunes

I installed the latest version of iTunes but when I went to sync my iPod I got error message -50 and my iPod would not sync. I tried re-installing the most recent version of iTunes but this made no difference. I then tried installing an old version of iTunes but it would not install. I am furious because I bought music via iTunes store and I cannot get it to load onto my iPod. Can anyone help? Or can anyone give me a direct email address for iTunes support? I have been going round and round on Apple's stupid website and cannot find any help or an email address.

Quit iTunes, reboot your PC, restart the iPad and then try again.
Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
