Error 2908 when updating iTunes to 11.3.54

Okay so I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop. The other day I got an iPhone and I want to put my music onto it. So I connect it to iTunes, but iTunes won't let me sync up to it without the update. So I figure okay let's update this and get it over with. I then try several times to update using the iTunes installer. An error occurs each time. So I download each item in the update to install everything manually. I try to launch the .msi files. Regardless of what I launch, I end up getting an error code 2908, but the update doesn't stop there. It continues and tries to write to the registry. It then tells me I am missing a key and I need to access it. The thing is iTunes is running just fine. Even as I type this now I'm playing music with it. So thoughts?
I have not tried to completely uninstall/reinstall yet. This is not the first time updates have failed for me. I've waited it out before and updated to a  later version. This error doesn't seem run-of-the-mill though so any and all thoughts are appreciated. I'll also provide some other info: all services associated with iTunes, those 3 services, are all running. I've also run a complete registry clean with cccleaner yesterday to see if it would fix the issue - it didn't. At this point, I'm stumped.
The only reason I haven't uninstall/reinstalled is cause it takes a long time and everything works right now, so if it ain't broke don't replace it, right?

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 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.

  • Error message when updating Itunes...can not open Itunes program

    I am recieving error message when updating Itunes for my computer.  The error message reads "MSVCR80.dll is missing and the other error message reads Error 7  (Windows error 126)"  I can not open my Itunes.  I have reloaded the Itunes onto my computer but still have the same error messages.  Please help.

    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.

  • I Keep getting error messages when updating itunes

    The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with package. The error code is 2349.
    That the error i get when updateing the itunes iv downloaded it like 5 diff times and still the same message what else can i do about it?
    can anyone help me please and thank you for your time

    Although it's a better bet with a 2330 error, I'd try running a chkdsk over your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you've got your program files installed on).
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    I purchased the orgignal 4 episode pilot of battlestar galactica from itunes. The first 2 episodes transfered to my ipod but i now get an error when it attempts to transfer the next.

  • Error message when updating itunes

    well im trying to update when i get this error message

    can you please help me
    thanks in advance

    Let's try the following procedure with that missing itunes.msi message.
    First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
    Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. Use it to clear any existing iTunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC. (Launch Windows Installer CleanUp, find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover iTunes and QuickTime program files:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Error 103 when updating iTunes 10.6.3 -

    My Mac Mini (late 2009) doesn't accept iTunes updates. It keeps at version 10.6.3. Problem started when OS X was Lion and it still continues with Mountain Lion. I have downloaded iTunes and tried to install it but with no success. After ML upgrade I tried it again and it doesn't helped. Every time it gives me error 103. Somebody told it is a registering software issue so I made an authorization again with iTunes. Problem is still the same. Now I don't know what to do anymore, it's very frustraiting situation. My MBP works well and it has iTunes 10.7. I'd like to use shared iTunes libraries between these computers but now it's impossible because of different versions.
    Any idea?

    You need to backup your computer then uninstall I-tunes and reinstall itunes.
    Delete iTunes
    Deleting iTunes is not recommended unless you know what you’re doing.
    Launch Terminal from the UTILITIES within Applications
    Type the following commands:
    cd /Applications/
    This brings you into the Applications directory, the next command deletes iTunes itself:
    sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/
    Enter the Administrator password to confirm
    There is no warning or confirmation other than entering the admin password, iTunes will immediately be deleted, effectively uninstalling it from the Mac.
    Deleting the iTunes application will NOT delete the ITUNES or music, and any purchases bought through iTunes will still remain tied to the Apple ID used to originally buy them.
    You can download the newest version from Apple, and running their installer will bring iTunes back to life on your computer.

    Try the following user tip:

    Fo the reinstall, use a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website. (Delete any versions of the installer file that you currently have in your downloads areas.)

    When updating iTunes on my Windows PC, I am getting a M/S Visual C   runtime error...can anyone suggest how to fix it?

    It has been discussed a few times, and is even available in the Apple support web site.  Basically, you need to un-install all teh Apple software you have installed, then re-install it all.  When you re-install, right click on theinstaller and select "Run as Administrator" to make sure it has The proper rights to complete the installation.
