Cannot re-install iTunes after repairing Windows Vista.

My Vista crashed and I repaired it and, subsequently i'Tunes wouldn't open so I uninstalled it and now iTunes won't re-install and I get the message saying that the old copy cannot be removed. I've reviewed the troubleshooting hints on this site and I've even installed and run the Windows Cleaner program that I downloaded from Microsoft. Of, course, iTunes didn't show up in the list because I had already uninstalled it. I've deleted every reference to iTunes or QuickTime in my registry and it still won't install.

Best of luck,

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?

CAN'T INSTALL ITUNES 9 ON WINDOWS VISTA 64-BIT OS

Hey guys!
I'm having a reaaaallly hard time installing iTunes on my Windows Vista 64-bit OS. Everytime I think it's about to finish installing, it shows me this message:
What does it mean?? Can someone PLEASE help me, I haven't had music on my iPhone for 4 weeks now!

Curses ... you did everything right by providing the screenshot, thanks. But we really need to see the error message number that shows up after the "HRESULT" bit for one of those, and it's deciding not show us that.
Okay ... people who get these error messages for iTunes installs typically are also getting Windows updates failures too. So we'll try to work out what the iTunes/Updates issue is by checking your Update history.
Go into your Windows Update and click "Update History". Have updates been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on each failure to bring up a small window showing some info about the failure.
What error message codes are you getting for the Windows Updates failures? (For example, 0x8007000B, or something else?)

Trouble to install iTunes on my Windows Vista 32-bit laptop. Please help!

I am trying to install iTunes on my Windows laptop (vista- 32 bit), but at the end of the installing process it keeps saying that I am missing a program to complete installing (no error code). After this message it will de-install iTunes. How can I fix this? Thnx!

at the end of the installing process it keeps saying that I am missing a program to complete installing (no error code).

Problems Installing iTunes 10 with Windows Vista

I am running Windows Vista (32 bit) and have installed iTunes 10. Any time I try to launch iTunes I receive the following message: "iTunes needs to be repaired to work with Vista. Use the 'Programs and Features' control panel to repair iTunes."
The bigger problem is when I open the Programs and Features control panel, iTunes is not listed as a program. All of the other iTunes components are listed(Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour). However, I can see iTunes (version 10) in the C:>Programs Files>iTunes folder, just not in the control panel.
I was going to attempt to uninstall and reinstall as numerous posts have suggested, however, since the program does not appear in the control panel, I have not been able to uninstall it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to install itunes after downloading Windows 8.1. I get an Windows Error 2 message-- "Apple Application Support is required to run itunes helper." Any suggestions?

I am trying to install itunes (64 bit) after downloading Windows 8.1 on my HP Laptop. I keep getting an error message Windows Error 2--"Apple App;ication Support is required to run itunes helper" Does anyone have any simple suggestions for a user with limited knowledge of Computers?

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Windows installer won't install iTunes 10.5 Windows Vista 64

Can't install iTunes 10.5 on my operating system. I'm running windows vista home premium 64.
Every time I try, a window installer alert pops up. It says; 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 recently had to reinstall my operating system
Using my recovery discs. I got all my updates including service pack 2, but I noticed some updates did not install.
Could that be the issue ? Can anyone help ? Thanks Sam

Repair your Apple Software Update:
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install

Error while installing itunes software on windows vista 32 bit operating system.

Hi friends,I am getting an itune installation error,Microsoft.VC80.CRT.version=8.0.50727.4053,The operating system in windows vista,i donwloaded itunes with IE as well as firefox,but always same error message is coming.Please help me out with this error.

I browsed this page earlier, and now im back to explain how i fixed my problem which is similar to yours.
All of the below must be followed manually: (that windows msgbox error is just confusing you) be reminded that:
%appdata% is not a network location. It is a systemwide variable used by Windows OS. %appdata% is a directory on your computer
I have win 7 OS, and i tweaked the below values so the Nokia_PC_Suite will install:
follow ALL of the following one by one:
-----first, the package----
first, go to the file which you downloaded from the net, (usually: Nokia_PC_Suite_eng_web.exe) right click the file and click properties, then click the compatibility tab and tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" then (select your OS on drop down box) then also click the lowermost button, "Run this program as administrator" then click OK. and close the properties box.
----second, the registry----(carefull a little mistake will render your machine unusable, so don't mess inside registry)
enter your registry by >> Start > Run > "type" regedit (without the word type) expand the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders, (on the right pane) you will see AppData, double click AppData and change the value to: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming
do the above to below location also: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
----third, Windows environment variables----
in your windows, right click the "My Computer", then click "Properties" then click the Advanced tab, on the lowermost of the window click the button [Environment Variables], click edit and change the value of "Temp" to variable value: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.
Now double click (re-install) the Nokia package which you have downloaded from Nokia website and i hope it will install flawlessly this time

Cannot connect to itunes store-with Windows Vista

I downloaded itunes 7 and thats when my problem started. From itunes store I click on account to create a new account because my aol account is expired. When the connection is attempted an apple itunes error screen comes on that says "Your request could not be completed". "Make sure your computer's date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes music store. For detailed solutions to solve the issue, click "more info". When I do that I get instructions to make sure cookies can be accepted. I have already checked my Internet Explorer settings and added the itunes music store to my "always trusted" websites. The second instructions have me hung up. It says to go into control panel, date and time, and click on "internet time". Then to synchronize with an internet time server. When I try to do that with each server listed, I get errors. "An error occured while attempting to synchronize with the server" time.windows.com or any of the others as well. I have tried a thousand times over and I cannot get synchronization. Is this what is really stopping me from connecting to the itunes music store? When I went to Windows Vista help, Microsoft says that Vista Home Premium Edition does not have sync capabilites. PLEASE HELP! I hope someone has encountered and solved this problem. Thanks.

CAN'T INSTALL ITUNES ON MY WINDOWS VISTA 64-BIT SYSTEM

Hey guys,
I'm having a hard time installing Itunes on my 64-bit Windows Vista system. Everytime I think it's about to finish installing, it shows this message.
Someone, please help me! I haven't had music on my iPhone for 4 weeks now!

Not Windows RT then . When you say "I've tried both" do you mean the 32- and 64-bit installers for Windows? In the first instance you should go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ - this should detect the version of Windows you are running and offer the correct installer. It'll look like this:
Click on Download Now - this will download the correct installer for you to run and install iTunes.
There is, however, some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded. As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe
of which you'll need the second one. See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation; you may also need to consult HP's helpdesk as the error message you report may be symptomatic of a Windows issue, not an iTunes one.

Installing itunes 10 on windows vista home premium

I know this may have been covered here but i need to know how to change the permissions on the admin account on my computer so i can install system services like bonjour. Ive tried to install itunes 10 multiple times and it keeps coming up with "the service failed to start. verify you have sufficient priveleges to install system services." I thought i did being logged in on as admin....
btw im not tech head so explanations keep them simple!
this is giving me so much headache!!! i just want to upgrade the itunes it shouldnt be this hard..

Ive tried to install itunes 10 multiple times and it keeps coming up with "the service failed to start. verify you have sufficient priveleges to install system services."
We can sometimes get past that one by disabling the BonJour Service prior to an iTunes install.
In your Start Menu, right-click "Computer" and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications"
Open "Services". Maximise the window to better see what's going on.
Right-click on the BonJour Service and select "Properties".
In the "General" Tab, change the Startup type to "Disabled" and click OK.
Restart the PC (very important).
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through any better this time?

Contact your support or package vendor" ?? Please HELP - I have my iPhone 5 coming next week and I dont know what to do as i now have no iTunes

Can't install iTunes 8 in Windows Vista

Everytime i tried to install the iTunes 8 a message appear on my screen says
"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"
Can someone help me with this? I can't use my ipod because i don't have the itunes
i recently bought my ipod touch 2G and because i don't have the itunes i can open it.:(
Please help me.:((

Doublechecking some things before proceeding, j. Are you trying to upgrade your iTunes on the PC? Or is this the very first time iTunes has been installed on the PC?
Are you getting the error message during the install, or when trying to launch 9.0.3.15 after the install?
