Cannot install iTunes on Windows Vista

I have an old Windows Vista laptop that I use at work to browse the internet and play my music on iTunes. After the last iTunes upgrade, I got the following 2 error messages:
1. Runtime Error!
     R6034
     An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
2. Itunes was not installed correctly. Please resinstall iTunes.
     Error 7 (Windows error 1114).
I have tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it twice, but I still get the error messages.
Any suggestions?

okay. although you're getting a different message, try the "iPodService.exe Alert" section from the bottom of the following document:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows Vista
does that get you past the error message on the install?

Why can't I install Itunes on windows vista 64 bit?

Why can't I install Itunes on windows vista 64 bit? I have removed all apple software and repeated the reinstall many times but it fails. I get this complicated error mesage and then the installer rolls back and fails.

I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

I cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 I receive the Error 7 (Windows Error 193).

I cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 I receive the Error 7 (Windows Error 193).
I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times but with no luck. Does anyone have another option?

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 the 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.
If the above steps haven't helped try installing:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for a 32-bit core program, similar to previous 64-bit releases of iTunes.
Or roll back to:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
as appropriate.

Cannot install iTunes on windows 7 64bit

Okay, I like so many cannot install iTunes on Windows 7 64bit.
Now Orginally I got a message saying something to the effect of:
There was a problem with the install you do not have permission for something...
Through some investigating my iTunes was being installed and removing all my permissions to view and/or modify files within that folder. Even if I was logged in as admin and installed as admin all the permissions would simply block me out.
This kind of had a familar feeling as in the last few versions of iTunes I had to run as admin just to open it (this is really annoying by the way)
So I searched the net and many people were saying to uninstall everything "Apple" and try again. So I did that. Now I have this new message:
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.
And again I scoured the internet for a way to fix this. I apparently am supposed to goto Control Pannel/Programs and Features and select Apple Software Update and select repair. The problem is that no longer exists in my programs list since I removed it in the earlier step. iTunes still refuses to install spitting out the same error forever. I tried the Microsoft "fix it" tool which is supposed to remove the Apple Software Update incomplete uninstall (which is apparently the whole problem) but it doesn't show up in the list for "fixing".
I am at a loss. Why doesn't Apple fix this. I cannot update my iPhone to the latest software in fear I may need to restore it. With no iTunes that is impossible. I cannot change any of my music or do anything until this is resolved. If/when iPhone 5 comes out I cannot get it either unless this issue is taken care of somhow.
I searched for an installer for just the Apple Software Update program But it seems to not exist as a standalone thing (it would be useful if it were though). If it were perhaps I could install it again and then successfully remove/repair it and iTunes might install finally.
Now I have had previous versions of iTunes working perfectly fine. I do not recall which version I was using before I tried to update and fell into this abyss however.

Yes b noir. I've tried running just "iTunes64.msi" from the command-line and while it didn't produce the same error "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 vender." it produced a different error in bold-type "iTunes Installer Completed" then "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured...Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified...Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit". However, I discovered a wealth of options from the Windows Installer to try after typing "iTunes64.msi passive"...So I'll experiment some more when I have time.
P.S. I'm becoming more convinced that Apple is putting new software out there to get it debugged which was a trick that MicroSoft always seemed to do:-)

Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message:

Trying to install itunes on windows vista and get the following error message: An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a1e3b",process orArchitecture="x86"". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424.

A broken Windows Modules Installer then. It's a bit of an involved fix getting past it, but we've had success here with it in the past.
First, I'd strongly suggest setting up a system restore point.
Now try the Scenario III treatment from the following document:
Windows Update Error 80070424 in Vista
Head back into Windows Update and attempt to get updates again. If they still fail, this time with an 8000FFFF error code, try the following Microsoft document:
Windows Update error 8000FFFF
If you get Windows Updates flowing again, stock up on any you're behind on (restarting the PC when requested to do so). This may take some time and may have to be done in several batches, depending on how far you've fallen behind. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
After the updates have been installed, restart the PC one more time (in order to ensure that any pending installs requiring a restart have been resolved).
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the 0x80070424 this time?

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.

I cannot install itunes on windows 8.1

I cannot install itunes on my Toshiba Laptop with windows 8.1. I kept getting error 7. So i removed all of the itunes files from my computer, and did everything the install troubleshooting page suggested, but it still will not install, but now instead of error 7, I am getting error 2.

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 in windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

My system is: Custom built AMD Phenom Quad-core processor 2.50GHz 16.0gb memory 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate OS
I have tried the newest version of iTunes and the one just prior, same problem with both. I have also tried all the detailed and sometimes complex uninstall, delete, repair and reinstall procedures listed in the forums here and on other sites, cleaning registry and cleaning cookies. Deleted all apple products with three different file cleaning programs. Deleted anything even remotely related to apple products and turning off any services related to apple. I have tried installing each file independantly in a variety of suggested order giving administrator privileges to all the files. I am the system administrator with full adnimistrator privileges.
The installation response in every case is as follows;
An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu
this is shown with two options Retry which gives the same result instantly or cancel which rolls back the installation entirely.
In one instance I was able to install the 64 bit version of a fresh installed OS on another hard drive on my system. But that system is for a test bed and I have no plans to use it on a regular basis.
I have spent roughly 35 hours on this and finally had to install another program to deal with my music files but I still would like to solve this problem. This appears to be a common problem based on all the questions and complaints that I have read lately both here and elsewhere. I am not sure why apple has not adequately addressed this, at least in the newest version of iTunes

Cannot install itunes on Windows 7 Windows Service Installer could not be accessed

I am having trouble installing itunes on Windows 7. I keep getting a message that says that Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This is driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

I managed to get iTunes downloaded, but now it won't install because it says a newer version of Quicktime is installed, and iTunes cannot proceed until that is uninstalled.
We're still making progress. That's damaged QuickTime installation configuration information (which also seems to be associated with some-though-not-all reports of your initial error).
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. 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 QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

I cannot install itunes on windows 7

I have been trying for some time now to install itunes on windows 7 so that I can put music on my ipod touch. I am told by the Apple shop that I must have itunes to put music on although when I first bought my Ipod touch (it is quite old) I was able to transfer from CDs very easily. Now that I have Windows 7, this seems to have changed. I do not particularly want Itunes but it seems I can get nowhere without it.
When I download Itunes I receive a messate "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." I have looked at different messages and it seems quite a common problem although the Apple shop said they had never heard of it. However, none of the solutions suggested work for me. In fact one suggestion was to remove from the Control Panel all reference to Apple which I did but was unable to remove Apple Update when the same error message appeared.
Any suggestion would be gratefully received as the Ipod is becoming useless without some more music and I have an audiobook I wish to transfer from Windows Media also.

You might have better luck if you posted in the iTunes form since you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.
