Error 2 - Apple application support missing

Dear advisors!
I get the error 2 message everytime I click on the Itunes icon and also AFTER I reinstall the installer. Do you have any advise on the problem I'm experiencing??
THanking you
Nadia
P.S. I've tried install iTunes10 although my computer previously had another version (not sure which). Should I try to reinstall the one I had?

Good, now we know the nature of the trouble with the AAS install.

In general, these ones tend to be caused by underlying problems on the PC that can prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to try to fix the Windows Update issues. If we can get Windows Updates flowing again, that generally clears up the iTunes install errors +en passant.+
Head into your Windows Update, and check for any new updates. Do any fail? If so, open your Update History and doubleclick on the failure entries to bring up a small box with alphanumeric error message codes. Are you getting 8000FFFFs? (They often seem to be associated with an iTunes-install 0x8007054f.)
If you're getting 8000FFFFs, try the following Microsoft document:
[Windows Update Error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
Head back to Windows Update, and see if you can get Updates to install successfully this time. If you can get updates now, stock up on any updates you're behind on. Once you're completely up to date in that regard, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    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.)

  • Please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"

    Can anyone please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"
    I've followed the instructions by removing all Apple files from my laptop, but when I reinstall the iTunes software it still comes up with this message:
    "Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2"
    Thank you

    iTunes "Apple Application Support is required... Error 2" and possible fix.
    I know this is a bit late but I came accross this thread trying to resolve this same problem and came up with a solution that worked for me, so thought I would share it here too. I hope it helps someone else.
    I just resolved this on Win Vista (should apply equally for Win7 too). Please uninstall iTunes before proceeding though. I'll walk you through the process I followed, if you like you can jump straight to the Solution section.
    Problems:
    The initial error during the installation of iTunes was:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F
    The error (after installing iTunes) when trying to run iTunes was:
    Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2).
    After trying various fixes around the forums I came across this MSKB article, which relates to the first installation error:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2688946
    This lead me to trying to install MS Visual C++ but I received the following error trying to install that:
    Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type=”win32”,version=”8.0.50727.762”,publicKeyToken=”1fc8b3 b9a1e18e3b”,processorArchitecture=”amd64”’. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070BC9. Assembly interface: IassemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {837BF1EB-D770-94EB-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}
    Note: The installation of VC++ rolls back when it fails.
    Solution:
    Through this error I found this MSKB article:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946414
    The Automated MS "Fix It" msi package didn’t work.
    Note: Please backup your registry first (see the above MSKB article for instructions).
    I opened the registry and (as instructed in the MSKB article) deleted the following keys:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMPONENTS\
    PendingXmlIdentifier
    NextQueueEntryIndex
    AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
    Reboot and reinstall iTunes.

  • I keep getting an apple application support missing error. Therefore I cannot get Itunes to work on my PC.

    I have downloaded ITunes numerous times on my PC so I can sync with my Ipad and Iphone. I get "congratulations" you have downloaded ITunes followed by a message stating that apple application support is missing. Is there a way to download this as a stand alone?

    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:

  • ITunes Apple Application Support error on Windows 7 Professional PC HRESULT: 0x80070091

    Hello,
    ITunes suddenly stopped working on my Windows 7 Professional PC.
    I was initially getting an Error 2 -- and I followed the instructions to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (restarted, updated Windows and ran CCleaner inbetween).
    After the new install, I received the error:
    Apple Application Support was not found.
    I downloaded WinRAR and tried to install a standalone version of Apple Application Support. I still cannot start iTunes, and receive the following error message.
    Error message:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type="win32",version='8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e8e3b',processo rArchitecture='amd64'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070091.
    I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1, and I want to transfer my libraries to it anyways. So, I'd like to either get iTunes functional on the Windows 7 PC, or find out if there is a way to simply move the libraries for ipod and ipad to the laptop without iTunes active on the PC.
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • Error 2 and Apple Application Support Not Found - Windows 8.1 Pro

    I was unable to update iTunes when the new update came out, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. When re-installing it I received the following error:

    I click OK and the process continues until I receive the following error:

    I ran the program as an Administrator from the start, so I do have sufficient privileges. I am given three options: Abort, Retry, and Ignore. Retry doesn’t work, so I hit ignore. The process then completes and when I try and open the program I receive the following error:
    Apple Application Support was not found.  Apple Application Support is requires to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and attempted Apple Application Support by itself by unzipping the setup. When I do that I receive the following error:
