Cannot install iTunes 8. Requres QuickTime
I'm attempting to install iTunes 8 on a Vista 32 PC. I can download the software, Run the installer, get the "Welcome to iTunes etc, the license page, the options page. Then I get the following message "The installation of Quick Time did npt complete successfully, iTunes requires QuickTime"
When I try to install QuickTime (I thought the installation of iTunes would have done that!). I get a message "Error reading from file C:\Users\MikeSteve\ApplData\Local\Temp\IXPO12TM\QuickTime.msi". Then I'm informed that the installation has failed.
Any help for a newbie please?
Thank you

Solution for VBScript error message on Vista systems
Posted: Jun 24, 2007 7:53 PM
From what I can gather in the short time that I have searched on this topic, this is a common problem for most Vista users trying to install the latest iTunes. I tried the following and it worked great.
Start
All Programs
Accessories
Right click on Command Prompt and run as administrator, Enter
In the command prompt, type the following;
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
[Press Enter]
You get a pop-up stating that vbscript.dll was registered successfully.
I found this solution here in this discussion forum. I hope this helps others.

I cannot install iTunes 10.5. Problem is that there are rest of installations. I uninstalled all iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apples components, but problem goes on. I run WIN XP SP 3 32 BITS. I accept ideas to solve, thanks.
A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Since October 2011 I cannot update iTunes when I receive an Apple UD notice (Win7Pro PC). I have also lost communication with my iPod Touch. In all cases I have attempted to download the latest version of iTunes. Yeasterday I uninstalled iTunes & Bonjour. I still cannot install iTunes. What can be done to allow iTunes to install?
If you want to do complete reinstall, please follow following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch -
Cannot install itunes on new laptop
Cannot install itunes on new laptop, even when security software is disabled. Downloads fine, goes through install and then says it can't install on my system. I have admin priviledges and already have Quicktime running. Help! I have itunes already running beautifully on 3 other computers and an ipod touch with home sharing - but my new laptop just won't intall itunes. Can anyone help?
Many thanks. Quite often with the 0x800736B3 on the iTunes install, there seems to be an 0x8007000b in play for Windows Update.
Let's try the following document first:
[Windows Update error 8007000b|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-error- 8007000b]
Next head to Windows Update and try stocking back on Windows Updates again. If you're a long way behind (sometimes this has been going on for months for people), you may need to do it in several batches. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
After you're stocked back up on Windows Updates, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(If you can't get Windows Updates to install, post back to let us know the error codes you've been getting on the most recent attempts at updates. Sometimes things are in such a snarl that we have to try a few different measures with them.) -
Cannot Install iTune 10.6, always rollin' back
Cannot Install iTune 10.6, always rollin' back
I have problems Installing updates all the time. Its a pain in the butt, but the way I have to install it takes a bit more than anyone elses. First you have to make sure that Any old Itunes files are deleted. The ones that were causing problems for me were
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
C:\ProgramData\Apple
C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer
BUT BEFORE YOU ERASE THOSE FILES FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW
* You're going to need Winzip or Jzip (Free- http://www.jzip.com)*
STAGE 1:
After you have winzip or jzip go ahead an choose between option 1 or 2:
OPTION 1 (IF YOU'RE UPDATNIG):
1. go to Itunes Menu bar >HELP > CHECK FOR UPDATES
2.error will occur, instructing you to go to TOOLS> DOWNLOAD ONLY
3.Go ahead and Download and save them to your Desktop.
THEN:
Go ahead and uninstall everything in this order.
Using Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Go one by one until everything is uninstalled.
RESTART YOUR COMPUTER
OPTION 2 (IF YOU'RE DOWNLOADING):
1.Go To : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ to download iTunesSetup.exe
2. go ahead and open the folder where the file was downloaded to
3. Right Click iTunesSetup.exe
4. Extract the files to your desktop or folder
5. IF you previously had itunes installed you will need to make sure all of these programs are uninstalled in this order
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Go one by one until everything is uninstalled.
RESTART YOUR COMPUTER if you previously had itunes installed.
STAGE 2:
Then Go ahead and look for these folders & Delete each one.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
C:\ProgramData\Apple
C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer
Once that is complete
Go ahead and click on the Itunes installer & install ITUNES
The install will roll back during Apple Mobile Device installation, but should still install.
IN ORDER TO SYNC properly do not stop there.
YOU are going to need Winzip or Jzip (what i recommend) to extract a couple of files.
First file:
Right Click on the APPLE MOBILE DEVICE installer and extract it to a New folder on your DESKTOP.
After you have done so, go ahead and open this folder
Second FIle:
In the Folder you have extracted, you will find a second file named
THIS CONTENTS OF THIS FILE MUST BE EXTRACTED AS WELL!
Extract this file to a NEW folder>>>> NAME THIS FOLDER Mobile Device Support
AND EXTRACT (OR CUT & PASTE) IT TO THIS LOCATION C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
Once you have done all of this go ahead and open Itunes
To ensure sync and everything else is working properly.
Hope this helps! in some way. -

Verify that the package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer program." Anybody have a solution?
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

Hi all!!

Il sistema non è stato modificato". In english language it means: "Troubles occurred before iTunes could be set up".

I cannot install Itunes 10.6 on my Windows 7 - 64 bit...I am so much frustrated that I will further buy no more Apple products. I have been taking everyones advise and done what was told to me through this forum but till time (since last 15 days) I am unable to install ITunes 10.6 on my said Windows 7 - 64 bit.
Pls help Pls help Pls help Pls help
Regards,
VivekIt will work with Windows 7 32 bit. On a 64 bit you will have to install Windows XP Mode. You can download it from the Microsoft Website. The XP Mode will run Windows XP in 32 bit. Microsoft has easy instructions on the download. One download at a time. Install the first download then the second download. You will have to copy your icon from all program and paste to the desktop if you are going to use it often.
