Cannot install iTunes: Access denied
I cannot get iTunes to install on my Windows 7 PC. I have uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime completely, as well as all other Apple software (in suggested order) and downloaded the newest versions. On installation, I receive an "access denied" error for both. I am on an administrator account, run as administrator, deleted my temp folder, everything. I cannot get either to install. Any suggestions? Very frustrating.
What worked for me was on another post: When trying to update iTunes I receive a "Object already exists"
For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
I had tried removing all the ITunes programs, deleting temp folder, etc., and nothing worked until I moved the RSA folder per the instructions above. I hope this helps someone else because I have spent endless hours trying to get the latest version of ITunes to install and it was very frustrating.

1. Restart your PC.

6. Plug your HDD

I cannot install iTunes 10.6.3 on Windows7 (64 bit). I keep getting the following message: "The installation package could not be opened. 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:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer? -
Cannot install itunes on windows v8.1 64 bit
Cannot install iTunes on Windows v8.1 64 bit.
The old blue iTunes worked fine on my pc, then along came the new red iTunes, which initially refused to install from an auto-update notification, saying it didn't have permission to access one of its own folders (self access to all its other folders was ok).
I then tried a manual download and install as suggested by the auto-update failure dialogue and that was exactly the same - failed at the last hurdle and had to reset itself.
I then tried download and install from iTunes site and this installed without problem, but the application will not open, neither from the desktop icon with user or admin rights, nor from a direct open or run as admin from the iTunes folder .exe file.
I have tried a repair install and an aggressive uninstall to ensure any TSR components are purged followed by a clean install - no difference.
My other pc is no problem and iTunes installed and runs on there fine, so it must be a configuration problem on this pc only.
I disabled my antivirus and malware detection during the install and made an exception for iTunes, to no effect.
When selecting the app I get a blue circle for a few seconds then nothing, no dialogue or notification of problems.
Any suggestions welcomed. -

App store cannot install iTunes 11.1.4 - but says that it has done so
Bizarre behaviors
1. Cannot install iTunes 11.1.4 - App Store says that the update is available, but it also shows that it HAS been installed 3 times before! Actually it is NOT installed; 11.1.3 is installed.
2. When I clicked "Update" (for the fourth time in the last few weeks) nothing helpful happened, I could not access "About This Mac" and the computer eventually froze.
3. iWork - App Store says updates to the three ".1" versions (e.g. Numbers 3.1) are available, and also that they are installed. Actually they ARE all installed.turingtest2 wrote:
There is apparently a new installer that should update smoothly. On the other hand you may wish to wait for an update that has a perceived benefit, or at least until you've seen how others get on with it.

Apple has released a new build of iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows which resolves the install/launch issues some customers encountered after updating. If you are updating from iTunes 11.1.3 follow these steps on how to install the latest version. If you have already attempted to update to iTunes 11.1.4 and are encountering an error, see iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open

I'd mark this as a Solution, but for some reason, I often do not see the option to do that (I posted about that sometime ago, nobody could figure out why -- just another weirdity). Anyway, apparently the new build here has fixed the problem, at least for Windows Vista folks. Thanks to both turingtest2 and Eric W -

I cannot install Itunes 10.1.1 on Windows 7 x64...
Hi all!!
I bought my ipod touch two days ago. But I cannot install iTunes on my pc.
I downloaded Itunes for x64 pc and I ran it as admin. So it starts and it stops ends the installation process and saying me -in italian language- "Si sono verificati errori prima che iTunes potrebbe essere configurato. Il sistema non è stato modificato". In english language it means: "Troubles occurred before iTunes could be set up".
I tried to delete "Temp" folder in appdata/local.
I'm a bit sad...I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

I cannot install Itunes 10.6 on my Win 7 - 64 bit...Pls help
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.

I cannot install itunes.
I downloaded i tenes and when i started installing it , it says "installing apple application support" and stops there
What can i do ?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.

I cannot install iTunes updates as of today. Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?
The question apparently needs to be typed in twice... good work. Here it is again:
I cannot install iTunes updates as of today. Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?Is this a distinct issue from the 42404?
If so, are you getting an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)
