Cannot install ANY version of iTunes

Alright...
A while ago, I tried upgrading to iTunes 7.6 unsuccessfully. Every time I tried "iTunes installer" I got "Preparing to install..." and then Headline: iTunes + Quicktime with error message of "The folder path 'My Pictures' contains an invalid character. I press "OK" and I get "iTunes Installer Completed" with "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. To retry these operations as a later time, please run the installer again. Click Finish to exit the installer."
Each subsequent attempt produced same response. I then deleted all existence of iTunes off my computer and tried installing iTunes with my old software that came with my 2005 generation iPod. Same response. I tried getting a 7.5 version off Hippo download or whatever, same response.
I downloaded Windows Genuine Advantage validation plug-in with no solution.
I then downloaded Windows Installer Clean-Up and I don't understand what I am supposed to do with it. Does my answer lie with this Clean-up program, or elsewhere?
Help!

Although the following document refers to a different program, it's worth a crack with that "The folder path 'My Pictures' contains an invalid character" message on an iTunes install, too:
You may receive one of three error messages when you try to install Streets and Trips or MapPoint

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:

  • Cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?

    cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?

    Since you don't say why it won't install, here is what I have found to work on a Vista machine, 32-bit:
    Download but do not install iTunes file from Apple site
    Stop anti-virus and firewall
    Restart computer
    Login as Admin
    Run iTunes installation
    Turn anti-virus and firewall on
    Restart and login as regular user
    Vista likes to leave a lot of installers running in the background even when they finish and that interfers with the iTunes installer.

  • Cannot install latest version of iTunes 10.6.

    Running 64 bit Windows Vista Home . Failed to install latest version of iTunes 10.6 with error message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.......click OK , or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes64msi"
    After using this source in the box below and clicking OK it comes up with another error reading: "the file C:\Users|My name\AppData\Local\Apple Software Update\iTunes64msi' is not a valid installation package for iTunes. Try to find installation package 'iTunes64.msi" in a folder from which you can install iTunes".
    As I could not find this file I then uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple mobile device support, and Quicktime and all related files as instructed from iTunes support page and tried to re-install all again. Unfortunately they all installed except iTunes which came up with the same error messages again.
    Is this an Apple or Windows problem?...........HELP!

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.......click OK , or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes64msi"
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the 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 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?

  • Cannot run any version of iTunes 7.6.029

    I have been unable to get any version of iTunes greater than 7.6.029 to run on my laptop. I have used the Apple Software Update tool to install, I have downloaded and done completely clean installations, attempting to remove any and all traces of iTunes and Quicktime from my system, then installing. However, any version more recent crashes immediately on attempting to open. Quicktime crashes as well. I can always uninstall and go back to version 7.6.029, which will run just fine.
    Any ideas?

    Have you installed any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter
    If so there are serious compatibility issues and you will have to uninstall them if you want later version of Quicktime to work. The developers seem to have trouble keeping up with new Quicktime versions so you are always likely to have crashes after an upgrade.
    If you decide to remove the codecs,
    Download the version of QUicktime that does not include iTunes:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    WHen you get to your system32 folder you can delete any files or folder with QUicktime in the name.
    Restart and install The QUicktime you download - if it works, try iTunes.
    If you want to upgrade iTunes download and save the installer to your desktop rather than using upgrade.

  • Why do i keep getting an error message of 2096 when installing any version of itunes

    Why do  I keep getting ann error of 2096 when downloading any version of itunes.  It tells me to delete itunes and reinstall.

    That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • PLEASE HELP!! Cannot install latest version of iTunes!

    I know there are loads of questions on a similar theme but I am completely NOT technical and I find them really hard to follow. I use Windows 7 and until now I have had no problems with iTunes. I was bought a new iPod Nano and I couldn't use it until I had updated to the latest version of iTunes. When I tried to do this it wouldn't let me, I just got an error message. I have subsequently backed up my iTunes library, uninstalled iTunes and tried to install the latest version, I get the same error message:
    An error message occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft. VC80.CRT.type=”win32”.version=”8.0.50727.6195”.publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b ”.processorArchitecture=”x86’”. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070002
    I'm completely stuck now, can't even use my old iPod as I have no iTunes. I'm sure you're going to tell me to look in Windows Update - I did this but didn't have a clue what to do with that I found there! This is SO frustrating, I wish I'd just stuck with my old iPod.
    Please help!

    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 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. (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 Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    when i try to install the latest version of iTunes this's the message i got this iTunes installer is intended for 32 bit version of windows> Please download and install the 64 bit iTunes installer instead

    *Replying to Karen*
    I had a look at the updates and all the codes are the same expect for the office genuine the code is 80070643.
    Is that an Office 2003, Karen? If so, perhaps try *Methods 1 or 2* from the following document:
    [You receive an "Error 80070643" error message when you try to update Office 2003 by using Software Update Services|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/903772]
    (Let's not try Method 3 at the moment ... a bit nervous that we might not be able to get it to reinstall given how grumpy Windows Updates and iTunes are being over installing.)
    If you can get your Windows Updates for your Office going through properly, do the other failed Windows Updates start installing as well? If so, stock up thoroughly (just keep going to Windows Update and installing things it offers to you until you don't get offered any more) and then try another iTunes install. Does that go through properly for you too?
