Couldn't create Distiller Window, Error: 126
I'm getting an error that says "Could not create Distiller window, Error: 126-The specified module could not be found"
This happens when I first start up the machine, and also when I try to print a Word document to a PDF. Acrobat will not open to do any other diagnostic work. I tried going into Control Panel>Add and Remove Programs and doing a repair on the Acrobat program, but that didn't help. This is a problem with Acrobat 9.0 Standard and Win XP Pro with SP3. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks, I updated to the current version 9.3.4, but that didn't solve the issue. Finally found a seemingly unrelated Windows issue that I corrected and the problem with the Distiller window went away, so I guess that it somehow affected it as well.

ITunes reinstallation brings ''error 7 - Windows error 126'
I had to de-install and re-install iTunes (version 11.1.4 64bit) on Windows-8.1. At the end of the installation process I got the message: "Service 'Apple mobile device' could not be started. Please check wheather you have sufficient authorization to start the system-services" (translated from German). This came though I was logged on as Systems Administrator. When I started the Task-Manager as Systems Administrator and tried to start 'Apple mobile device' I got the message "the service does not respond in time tot he start or control request. Error 1053)"
If I ignore the message above and try o start iTunes I get immediately "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)". This happens whenever I de- and re-install iTunes.
Could you please help.
Thanks in advance
Hans M.I'm happy to tell you that "Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8",
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 solved my problem.
Great many thanks to whoever created this procedure!
There is one additional remark though: In order to remove the specified folders you have to be logged on as Administrator, knowing the Administrator's password is not sufficient. Anyway, I'm tremendously grateful to you supporters!

"Error 7 (Windows error 126)" for Windows XP Home edition
Hi,
I have problems with installing iTunes correctly on my laptop.
I get the following error-message when I try to open iTunes:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
Error 7 (Windows error 126)"
Futhermore I get this error-message:
"This program can't start, because AVFoundationCF.dll couldn't be found."
I tried to install iTunes many times but nothing seems to work.
Help, pleace?many thanks.
"Titled: iTunes.exe: Unable to Locate Component: This application has failed to start because AVFoundationCF.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."\
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click Repair.
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post (although it's for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things):

AVFoundationCF.dll not found? + Error 7 (Windows error 126)
About a week ago, I decided to upgrade to the newest version of iTunes. Upon trying to install the new version, it said it could not download as there was an error with quicktime. I then uninstallled and downloaded the newest version of Quicktime. The error message went away, however, now I am faced with this meassage everytime I attempt to install:
"An error occured during the assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053"type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86" Please Refer to Help and Support for more information HRESULT: 0x80073712
Then iTunes goes into "rolling back action" and 'completes' the install.
upon opening itunes, i get an error message saying that windows error 126 has occured or error 7, and that i should reinstall itunes. except i've done this six times now, so it clearly doesn't help.
supposedly the component AVFoundationCF.dll is not found, and the solution to that is REINSTALL, again, that doens't work.
What can I do?
Message was edited by: jashieHad this problem when I tried to upgrade. I eventually uninstalled all iTunes v9 related products (iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Application Support and Apple Software Update). Then I tried a fresh install of the v10.1x setup. I get the following:
Pop up#1 (iTunes.exe - Unable to Locate Component):
This application has failed to start because AVFoundationCF.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Pop up#2 (iTunes):
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
Error 7 (Windows error 126)
Since I'm on XP SP3 Home Edition, I can't install the System Readiness Tool (only for Vista, 7 and Server 2008, etc.).
So I gave up and unintalled all Apple products (iTunes, Quicktime, AAS, AMDS, ASU). I then went back to an iTunes 9.0.2 installsetup.exe I have. Installed "successfully" and now when I launch iTunes I get the following error pop up:
Pop up#3:
The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
What can be done now? I'd like to be on the current version, but I can't get around the first 2 pop ups with the methods I've seen posted here. -

When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

After doing an update of itunes on my pc Itunes will no longer open and gives me a msg about MSVCR80.dll not on my computer and Itunes was installed incorrectly error 7 (windows error 126)
This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes. I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation. -
Hello< I have windows 7, I tried to install the new itunes version, last night 1/30/14, Im getting msvcr80.dll error 7 (windows error 126). Does anyone have a remedy for this? When I try to uninstall the ituned program it says it can't be found and to make sure I have permission to uninstall.
Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. I did the following:
1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replaced)
2) Restarted computer and still got error message
3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not recomment in their posted solutions but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
5) Restarted computer.
6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try. -
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes 15 times regarding the latest release and still get the MSVCR80.dll and Error 7 (Windows error 126) messages.
I have tried moving the dll filesincluding the QTMovie dll file to now avail. Can anyone please help, as I am sure you all, like me, have thousnads of dollars and songs invested in this system and need a fix fast. Can anyone please help???Dear avid iTunes users - I have cracked it!!!
The response from Apple/iTunes was extremely poor and did not solve the problem.
I have a look in msconfig and observed which applications/services were running - one of which was the 'Apple Application Support'
So ... I had a look at what was in this folder and found the APS Daemon.exe file causing all the trouble.
So ... I simply deleted the Apple folder found in C:\program files\common files\.
I did a restart and did not get the MSCVCR80.dll or Error 7 (windows 126) error messages.
I reinstalled the current version of iTunes (for the 16th time!)
Hey presto!!!
IT WORKED :-O Woooohooo!!!
So ... to all those smarty-pants boffin-brianiacs out there (apple/iTunes): this is how you do it!!!!!!!!!!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO UNINSTALL ALL THE APPLE/QUICKTIME OR RELATED PROGRAMS - JUST DELETE THE APPLE FOLDER IN THE C:\PROGRAM FILES DIRECTORY.
Nuff said. -
when I tried to update to the new version of Itunes - message box appears "APSDAEMON.EXE MSVCR80.DLL is missing". Then another box indicates "Error 7 (Windows error 126)". Itunes will not start. Can someone tell me what the problem is and how to fix?
