Can't run iTunes, Apple Application Support program missing.

Can't run iTunes, Apple Application Support program missing. It's a brand new computer, never had iTunes installed. I've attempted 16 installs, each time uninstalling the previous install and verifying no Apple software installed before trying again; I've also been using different browsers, still no luck. Windows 7, 64 bit.

Try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). AAS might not install right now, but you may get a more useful error message as to why not, or it might install once the other components have been installed.

I've tried uninstalling it and installing it several times. I've tried to download Apple Application Support separately but it just says:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4... Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x800736FD

You have missing information in your Windows programming.
You need to repair your computer so it can run iTunes. If you plug those error codes into your browser you may get an answer.

Itunes 10.1 will not download because I can't get old apple application support off my computer windows xp

itunes 10.1 will not download because I can't get old apple application support off my windows XP. Help!

(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
(2) 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 Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

Itunes needs apple application support program

Q ,there was trouble with my computer last night and a few programs were deleted. After a scan was completed my itunes will not work. It says that I need to reinstall apple application support program. I have tried to repair the program and I downloaded itunes again, but to no avail. itunes is in my list of programs. What am i supposed to do now?

Doublecheck to see if there are any leftover QuickTime program files and/or folders on the PC.
On a 64-bit system open the following directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\
If you see a QuickTime folder in there, delete it.
Now open the following directory:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
If you see a QuickTime file and or a QuickTimeVR file, delete those two files.
If Windows won't let you delete either folder or files, let us know what the error message says.
If those files and/or folders were present, and you successfully deleted them, try another iTunes install. Does it go through any better this time?

Deleted Apple Application Support program

I recently deleted my program for "apple application support". When trying to use itunes now,the window for error #2 tells me to delete itunes and reinstall. Will i loose all of my music on this PC? Have same music on an ipod. Thanks anyone.

Everytime i try i get this messeage, Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run
With that particular key, I think we'd better try a malware scan.
Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hours on my Lenovo.)
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

I accidentally removed my apple applications support program from my computer how do i get it back on?

I had very little memory on my C drive and had to remove some programs to free some up but by accident i removed Apple applications support. How do i put it back on or do i have to remove and re-install the whole itunes program to get it to work again?

We can get it back in without doing an uninstall/reinstall, if you like.
Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer to your hard drive.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?

What is this Apple Application Support program?

Alright, I'm running iTunes on the following systems:
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit
Windows 7 32-bit RC
Linux Sabayon (after some mods to the iTunes code; yes it's possible to run iTunes on Linux)
I just upgraded to this new version of iTunes, and as I was uninstalling the unnecessary crap that comes with iTunes (Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Suppport, etc.), I ran across a new entry that said "Apple Application Support". What is this? I searched Apple's website, and nothing of great significance comes up.

Hey you're lucky you got it. My fresh install of iTunes 9 installed without it and now it won't run.

Unable to remove old version of iTunes, apple application support.msi

Hi, I'm having trouble with my itunes and i don't know how to uninstall the old version of itune or uninstall the apple application support file that is in my control panel if anybody can help it will be greatly apprciated....

Did you get your issue resolved? I think I'm having the same problem. I can't uninstall itunes and I can't reinstall itunes without a box popping up stating
" The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below"
And when I search for that file on my computer, it finds 2 different paths and NEITHER of them contain the .msi file. I'm ready to pay apple support just so I can scream at someone. This is so frustrating!!!!

ITunes Apple Application Support error on Windows 7 Professional PC HRESULT: 0x80070091

Hello,
ITunes suddenly stopped working on my Windows 7 Professional PC.
I was initially getting an Error 2 -- and I followed the instructions to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (restarted, updated Windows and ran CCleaner inbetween).
After the new install, I received the error:
Apple Application Support was not found.
I downloaded WinRAR and tried to install a standalone version of Apple Application Support. I still cannot start iTunes, and receive the following error message.
Error message:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type="win32",version='8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e8e3b',processo rArchitecture='amd64'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070091.
I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1, and I want to transfer my libraries to it anyways. So, I'd like to either get iTunes functional on the Windows 7 PC, or find out if there is a way to simply move the libraries for ipod and ipad to the laptop without iTunes active on the PC.
Thanks so much for your help.

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.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.

How can i install the apple application support? (windows vista)

when i try to go onto my itunes it says error 2 and that i need to install the apple application support

Apple Device Support is installed as part of iTunes.
Why do you suspect it is not installed?
What is the problem that is occurring along with the precise text of any error messages?

I received this error message when attempting to open my iTunes: apple application support not found

I'm not sure if my iTunes won't open because my apple software might have been deleted from my computer during a clean out. How do I reestablish my apple software without losing all my iTunes music? Apple's error message is telling me that I have to uninstall iTunes and then re install it, but I'm pretty sure I'll lose everything if I do this. Suggestions?????

Hello RunnerGirl98,
If you reinstall iTunes using this article, your songs will not be deleted. The Media in iTunes is stored in the iTunes folder, which is normally found in your Music folder and is not attached, or part of the iTunes application.
It will be either one of these 2 articles depending on the OS version you have installed:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
I would also verify where your iTunes library is stored using this information:
Where are my iTunes files located?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
Regards,
Sterling

HT1923 My install won't work Irun the exe file,and when I try to use it, I get the message that Apple applications support is missing. How do you fix this?

Anyone have any ideas?

But I can't... find... it... It's not there.
Unless you're talking about the entire Mozilla Firefox folder (which isn't what the thing you copied says,) there is no installation folder.

HT1349 I have installed and uninstalled iTunes on multiple occasions, but keep getting the error message that "Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes ..... Error 2 (Windows Error 2)". Can't find any useful solution. Can anyone help? Pleeee

I have instlled and uninstalled iTunes on multiple occasions but iTunes fails to start with message "Apple Application support is required to run iTunes .......... Error 2 (Windows error 2)". Most most frustrating. Can anyone help, pleeeeeeease!!

iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
Hi Redgilly (and others).
I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
Problems:
The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070BC9. Assembly interface: IassemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {837BF1EB-D770-94EB-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
Solution:
Through this error I found this MSKB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\
PendingXmlIdentifier
NextQueueEntryIndex
AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
Reboot and reinstall iTunes.
I hope this helps.

Can't install iTunes 10 properly. Need Apple Application Support 1.3.2.

I've downloaded iTunes 10 THREE TIMES NOW and STILL get an error message telling me I need Apple Application Support 1.3.2. I seem to have version 1.3.0.
I'm on limited (and fairly slow bandwidth and it's expensive to go over my limit, especially if it's only going to fail again... I did select download only so I could install myself behind my firewall and yet still the installation has failed.
How do I get the Apple Application Support 1.3.2. file only without having to download 100MB's a fourth time please?
Can anybody point me to just that file alone online please?
Thanks

Same problem here. after downloading new itunes, would not install. went to apple instructions and uninstalled all applicable files, but there was not a Apple Application Support file to uninstall. Downloaded itunes again, all went well, showed copying, installing, etc. gave me the screen to open itunes, but then get the message "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run Itunes. Please uninstall itunes, then install itunes again." Then "Error 2 (Windows error 2)
Apparently, i do not have the apple application support program. how do i get this on my windows vista? thank u all for any help

I tried to download the latest upgrade and got the following: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193). Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Apple Application Support\ApplePushService.dll

I tried to download the latest upgrade and I got a message telling me "The application or DLL ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/Apple/Applie Application Support\ApplePushService.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." and then below that another message "iTunes was no installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193). I tried reinstalling and it still will not work.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)
