HT1926 Cannot install itunes Error 7, windows error 1114

Cannot instal Itunes, Error 7, window error 1114 ???

Hi!! I finally found a solution
I´m Sure this one will work for everyone
-First you have to uninstall all Apple Software using Control Panel
-Download Unlocker Software from softsonic heres the link http://tinyurl.com/3e8gj2h
or google it
-Install Unlocker
-Go to Start and type this in search: %programdata%
-ProgramData window will open, so find apple folders
-Right click in each apple folder and find Unlocker in the options
-Choose Delete each apple folders (with unlocker program)
-Go to My PC, C Local Disk and find Program Files
-Look for Apple folders and Delete them (with Unlocker)
-Find a Folder (in Program Files) called Common Files
-Delete all Apple Folders (in common files) with Unlocker
- Empty your trash can (thats what i did)
-Reboot
-Install Itunes
Note: You can Reboot or use Safe Mode to use Unlocker if it doesnt work.
....and that's All
AFTER Days of frustration LOL
Good vibe, Love and Blessings for all!!

Cannot install iTunes because of Windows Installer Package

Cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 because of Windows Installer package is missing.

Okay. Even though you're getting a different error message, try the procedure from the following user tip:
"The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" error messages when installing iTunes for Windows on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems

I cannot install itunes on my windows vista

I try to install itunes on my windows vista, it gives me a error

"iTunesSetup.exe não é um aplicativo Win32 válido"
That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
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?

I cannot install iTunes 10.2 64 bit on Windows 7 Home Premium

I'm able to download the iTunes 10.2 64 bit program without any issue. However, when I try to intall the program Windows installer issues error message: "This 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 package”.
I have tried to open 'itunes64bit.exe' as the Administrator but this still doesn't work!
I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7.
One member had a solution whereby they downloaded a program from Orca to increase Windows Installer’s capability and another to help install iTunes.
The problem is that Windows Installer will not install these downloaded programs either!
I’ve followed tech advice to change the Windows Installer setting from ‘Service Status’ stopped to ‘Service Status’ started and applied/ok’d changes. However, as soon as I try to install a non-windows program it automatically defaults to the ‘stopped’ setting and issues the error message about not being able to verify the package being installed.
I followed the steps to unregister and reregister Windows Installer too, also to no avail.
You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator.

Hi Lee,
"You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator."
You are correct but to a point. I thought so too, however, like you, I am "second in command"...under myself.
I was in the same situation and tried others' successful workarounds. Nope. Actually, an ongoing frustration for a few months to no avail...until I came across this link, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/ this-installation-package-could-not-be-opened/40c3cf33-b155-4dc7-b21e-ca5acce105 f3. It shows you how to access the Administrator login, literally. It worked for me.
This is from a Microsoft support page (SJ has probably been alerted, so I don't have much time, LOL). I did not want to hit that "final" option and reinstall Win 7. The first time was trying enough and I was about to give in.
" I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7."
I was opposite on this one. What led me to think it wasn't the above was seeing this user " ` " , also known as Accent grave. The Users first file is labeled " ` " and has a little gold lock on it. When I scanned Task Manager, under Processes Tab, the User Name column showed " ` " attached to certain processes. I knew it was me, but did not realize it was the Alpha me
I cannot say if the system automatically did this or I or Alpha (I'm blaming Alpha). If there is a way to change this I do not know, and if I should. Either way, I will do some more research and pray another personality isn't isn't lurking about
Hope this helps you.

Cannot Install iTunes 9 in Windows XP Pro 64-bit

Okay, here's the situation:
I was an early adopter of Vista, in its 32-bit form. Ran fine, lasted a long time. Needed more memory, so installed Vista 64-bit a few months back as part of an upgrade to a larger boot disc.
Initially, the version (whatever it was) of iTunes installed and worked okay, but after an upgrade of Windows and iTunes (done at the same time) killed the whole thing. It installed correctly, but when I ran iTunes, it would hang.
I know about relatively short hangs while trying to connect to the iTunes store, as well as the potentially hours-long hang during the 'gapless playback' process, but these hangs were for more than 12 hours in some cases, and required that I manually end the program.
About a week ago, I decided to go back to XP Professional because several updates had created an unusable environment for iTunes, even with deleting everything Apple and starting over multiple times.
With a clean Windows XP Professional 64-bit install, I thought I might have a chance. Turns out, I was wrong.
I downloaded the latest iTunes 64-bit package, only to be told this is for Windows Vista 64-bit only. Fine. I downloaded the latest iTunes 32-bit package and was greeted with a message that suggested I download the 64-bit version. Are we sure Microsoft didn't buy Apple somewhere along the line? This is not the sort of nonsense I have seen in about 15 years experience with Apple products.
Next I looked for any tricks or tips that might help me do what I wanted. I learned Orca is more than a Sea World attraction, and many other new things. At the end of the day, I cannot find any way to successfully install iTunes 32-bit or 64-bit into Windows XP Professional 64-bit.
Is there anyone that has successfully installed the latest iTunes (32- or 64-bit versions) into XP Pro 64-bit without hacking, cracking or smacking their system? Anyone? If so, I would love to hear how it's done.
It's painfully obvious that Apple never tested this O/S or they might have fixed the problem before releasing iTunes 9.
Although my iPhone contract ended about two months ago, I'm not rushing out to get a new phone until this problem is resolved. Currently it is essentially a paperweight as I have no access to some application updates that will only complete when it is tethered.

Follow the directions here. But the problem is that the I-tunes installer calls for the wrong file name so… if you rename the file named “AppleMobileDevice64.msi” to “AppleMobileDevice.msi” it should install. When it says “iPod service failed to start…” run this patch then click “retry” it’ll work fine. Merry Christmas from Lokie!
P.S. Please repost the patch thanks

Cannot install Itunes 8 on windows - please help

I had an issue with Itunes re-installing each time I would start Itunes, so I deleted off computer via add/delete feature on windows.
I also deleted Bonjour and everything apple so I could start again.
Now trying to install from scratch the Itunes 801 it now states "Service (Bonjour Service) failed to start. verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services."
I have tried to install Bonjour again but there is an issue with that too.
I just want to play some music, any suggestions?

I get a very similar error message and cannot install version 8
Any suggestions as to what can be done ?

TS1424 I cannot install iTunes on my Windows 7 PC without it taking over all my applications and replacing their icons.

I initally installed iTunes several months ago to sync with my iPod. In July I got an iPad and switched to wireless internet service. At some point iTunes decided to take over my Windows 7 (Professional) PC computer! If I uninstall iTunes, everything is fine, but I have to restart the computer to reset my icons. As soon as I reinstall iTunes, it takes overf all my desktop icons and software programs.
I have run disk scans, malware, virus scans; I have unintstalled all Apple products and then tried re-installing iTunes to no avail.

First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal?

I cannot install itunes to my windows 7 computer. I've deleted everthing apple related (in order recommended). I get a message each time that states "There is a problem with this windows installer package. etc.. What should I do?

I've also spent hours on the phone with both apple and windows technical support specialists. This is very clearly not a windows issue. I've given my computer a clean boot, disable my antivirus and firewall, and then attempted to download (yes, from apple's website). I've delete all of the programs (in the necessary order) and then attempted reinstalling with absolutely no luck. I'm starting to think that there's absolutely nothing I will be able to do. I've also never been able to fine "apple software updater or apple software update on my computer, which is particularly odd because I haven't found a post in this community that answers that question. No, "apple software update" cannot be found by accessing the start menu or anything in the "C drive". Apple software update is also never included in the itunes download package that I get from apple's website (the others, such as bonjour, apple application support, and apple mobile support are). No matter what I do, I always get the mesage at the end of the download, "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
This may or may not be related to the "apple software update" issue.

Apparently it's an itunes issue. I just tried to update and got the same issue. Called att to activate my iphone 4s and they say they can do the swap but apple is telling them itunes is down atm. So will have to wait

TS3212 I cannot install iTunes onto my Windows 8 Vaio laptop

Hey Guys!!
I have spent the last five hours scanning every single forum, Apple or not to try and find the solution to my problem but thus far have been unsuccessful.
I have recently bought a Sony Vaio with Windows 8 operating system. Initially my computer would not download any iTunes file however with some tinkering I eventually managed to get it to fully complete the download however it then would not allow me to start the installation. The Windows Smartscreen told me that the file was unsafe and could not be verified even though my Norton Anti-Virus informed me that the file was perfectly safe to open.
I then decided to disable, only temporary, the Smartscreen function so that I might be able to then just open it up to install the file but now it asks me to verify the file and then it does nothing.
I have tried writing the file to discs, I would try another browser other than IE9 however the same problem is happening to my Mozilla Firefox download! I have tried USBing to another PC and then copying across. I have even tried getting a set up file from my older laptop and seeing if that would work but nothing does.
I would really appreciate some input and potentially a solution!
Many Thanks,
Jade

Hello there JadeMB,
From what you are describing here, it sounds like you may have the 64 Bit version of Windows 8 so the 32 Bit installer for iTunes will not work.
Here is the download for the 64 bit version of iTunes:

I cannot install ITunes on my Windows 7 computer.

The Itunes file downloads, then starts the installation process, gets almost all the way through it, then I get an error message stating that a critical file is missing from the installer package and installation stops and reverses itself. I have tried uninstalling the prior version of Itunes and reinstalling, cleaning up the registry of all ITunes files, etc., but nothing helps.

It's a complex mix of messages. The new one is suggesting disk/file damage. So it's plausible that the damage creating the "invalid signature" message was happening when the installer files landed on the dodgy spot of disk, rather than during the download itself. (Plausible, but pretty rare.)
Let's move into disk/file damage troubleshooting mode.
The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
