Cant Install Itunes to Windows 7 (Multiple Errors) Please help
so i keep trying to install itunes and i get these errors:
Even though the micorsoft website does not list hte SUBINACL tool as being a valid tool for WIndows 7, here is a thread where a microsoft support person recommends it.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/324918a2-fb68 -49ba-833f-ecfb15a7ef10
I would definitely follow the advice of backing up the registry and creating a restore point before proceeding with subinacl.
After you have downloaded subinacl and installed using admin rights, do these steps to reset the registy permissions:
~Start Notepad.
~Copy and then paste the following text into Notepad.
cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEYLOCALMACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEYCURRENTUSER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEYCLASSESROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\. /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose
~Save this Notepad file as Reset.cmd.
~Double-click the Reset.cmd file to run the script.
Note This script file may take a long time to run. You must run this script as an administrator.

HT1926 cant install itunes on windows 7 64bit . cant run a required dll
i cant install itunes on windows 7 64bit . when i run the setup and reach the status : "performing installation checks" , it said "there is a problem with this Windows Installer Package . A Dll required for this install to complete could not be run.v..v" what should i do now ?
That's a bit rarer. It's a 1723 error message. (1721 and 1722 are more common.)
Even though the following user tip is about slightly different errors (the 1721 and 1722), perhaps try it with your one too:

i can't install itunes for windows get error message 5
I've been having the same issues for the past year and a half. I've spent 6-8months trying to figure it out. Went to various Itunes stores with pictures on my Iphone per each step so I could relay all information that I'd come across and the personnel were less than helpful, after conversations that would sometimes last an hour between myself, employees and managers they always came back to "simply uninstall then reinstall" when I told them for the thousanth time that I've done that multiple times and my errors are happening while trying to reinstall it they act stumped and say "well then I'm not sure, I'll give you a call if I figure it out" and disappear. I've been very disatisfied at the lack of support from Apple and if Android to piece together a reletively reliable phone I'd switch to them in a heartbeat. I'll follow this question incase someone can answer this, but I don't have much faith.
BTW, wifey has Windows 7 running on the laptop and my phone syncs just fine to that and no trouble with itunes, just mine (desktop). -

Unable to install itunes on windows 7. Gives message Error writing to file C:\Program Files(x86)\itunes\mozilla plugins\npitunes.dll and then starts rolling back.
If you uninstall your Firefox, and then try the install again, does the iTunes install go through? (If it does, reinstall your Firefox.)

I cannot install iTunes on my laptop. It downloads ok. I start to run/install it ok, it gets so far then comes up with an error message saything something failed, quit and retry. This happens every time. HELP
It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -

Can't install iTunes on Windows 7 - error code 2329
I just installed Windows 7 on my computer and now am trying to re-install iTunes...I uninstalled it before upgrading from Vista to 7 because a compativbility scan said that iTunes could cause problems with the installation of Windows 7
Now, after saving and running the iTunes installer on my computer, I get error code 2329 while trying to install. I believe this happens when it is trying to initially install Quicktime, which I actually still have installed on my computer...
I have tried uninstalling Quicktime, but I get the same error code during that process
I have also tried installing iTunes by going to the Apple Software Update instead of saving and running the file from the internet, but it fails also....
Please help!Now, after saving and running the iTunes installer on my computer, I get error code 2329 while trying to install. I believe this happens when it is trying to initially install Quicktime, which I actually still have installed on my computer...
The 2329 appears to be associated with file/disk damage, lora (much like the more-common 2330).
So we should try first running a disk check over the drive your QuickTime program files are stored on. For instructions, see:
[How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)|http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html]
Try checking both boxes. The scan should take quite a while. If the scan aborts fairly quickly (even if you do it on Start-up), try rebooting the PC, disconnecting from your network and/or the internet, and disabling all security software on the PC (firewall/antivirus/antispyware) prior to doing the disk check. (Real-Time scans of your drive by your security software can interfere with disk checks.)
Reenable all your security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, are you able to do the iTunes install afterwards? -
ITUNES downloads from store causing BSOD windows stop error- Please Help!
Hi everyone,
maybe someone can help me out or knows how to fix this problem.
Problem in detail:
This problem started since I updated to the latest version of itunes 7 to download video for my ipod video 30gb. Itunes worked perfect on my computer before updating as I used it with an ipod mini.
I was able to use my new IPOD 30gb fine and transfer all my music to it correctly.
The main problem occurrs when downloading anything from itunes store...1st noticed this when my podcasts were updating and downloading and then the system suddenly crashed with the windows blue screen error message and had to reboot. This happened multiple times so I disabled the automatic downloads of podcasts. Itunes then works fine when not downloading anything.
I then tried purchasing a TV show, whole series, and when it began downloading, the Exact same Error and Blue screen will occur--Very Frustrating.
I uninstalled ITUNES and Quicktime, and then reinstalled them via the latest download from itunes. The same errors still occur.
When windows reboots and sends error report to Microsoft, it states the error is due to a Driver error of which the specific driver is not known.
I have called apple/itunes support and spoke with them and they could not figure out the problem and said I should check with my computers cust service and/or microsoft as it was probably something on this end...I did this and they stated the problem must be something with itunes and especially since all other programs run fine on my system.
SO basically I am going in circles trying to figure this out so I am hoping someone here may know how to fix this problem.
Not only that, but I tried the same on my desktop as I figured I could at least download my podcasts and purchases to my desktop and then transfer to my ipod from there(as I am mainly using my labtop for my ipod) and updated my desktop to itunes 7 latest version,, and figured it would work on my desktop with same operating system----but it Caused the SAME error BSOD as my labtop and in same fashion....only when downloading from itunes.
ANy help is much appreciated as I got the ipod video mainly because of ITUNES video content and podcasts and if I cannot use these major functions on ITUNES than This Was a Complete Waste for me to get the Video IPOD.
Hope there is a way to fix
ThanksI afraid can’t help much with this, but no one else
has answered. It does seem very odd that two
different computers have the same problem. It makes
you wonder about the content you were trying to
download. As a matter of interest was the
installation for both computers done from the same
download file?
When your computer dies, can you read the stop
message or does it disappear, if it does, go to
Control Panel>System>Advanced
Click Settings in Start Up and Recovery and make sure
that Automatically Restart is no checked.
You should be able to get a stop number from the blue
screen and you may also be able to identify the
filename of a driver, which could give a clue to the
problem.
The Microsoft Website has a certain amount of help on
specific stop messages, you can search for the number
of the stop message which will be something like
0x0000000A.
There is also some help on troubleshooting stop
messages here:
http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
Thanks for your reply.
As far as the content being downloaded from itunes---consisted of different podcasts and also on a separate occasion-the tv show Heroes complete season on ITUNES..So I would guess the error has nothing to do with the content being downloaded.
The ITUNES installation for both computers was from the same itunes download file on this website on apples itunes free download.
I did not write down the most recent stop numbers and no drivers seemed to be named on the blue screen from what I could tell, but I guess I could be missing something...
From a previous crash with the BSOD- the error message listed was this: STOP: 0x00000050 (0xbad0b158, 0x00000000, 0x8056ea22, 00000002)
not sure if this helps maybe figure out the cause of this or not.
Maybe this will help get to the bottom of this.
Thanks -
HT1926 Unable to install itunes on windows 7. error code 2721.
I am trying to install iTunes on my PC but keep receiving the error message 2721 and then the installer quits.
It is an ongoing issue with installing iTunes 7 on Windows.
What often solve the problem is running installer as Administrator
and the opening iTunes as Administrator
Right click on the installer and "Run As Administrator"
Also as b noir mentioned - can you post the error message?
This would help. -
Trouble installing iTunes on Windows 8 - Error writing to file
Hey all,
Trying to install iTunes on my computer, tried installing it on two seperate hard drives it worked on neither (one was brand new, the other is a month old SSD). The error I get is:

I've tried uninstalling all apple products, deleting all folders to do with apple, installing as admin, taking ownerships of the files etc. Nothing works. Any ideas why?

Any better luck if you try a manual uninstall of the GEAR drivers prior to the iTunes install?
