Error-42404 pops up when trying to download iTunes

Even though I have updated QuickTime, iTunes still wont install. And another message says that I don't have iTunes.msi. What is that and how do I get it? At this point I don't know what to do, because I have tried all sorts of things. Does anyone else have this problem? And if you did, how did you fix it. Anything will help!

I installed Windows Install Cleanup. When it opened, I clicked on iTunes and pressed delete. (don't worry about trying to find those buttons, they are right there)Then, I reinstalled iTunes from the internet. It now works beautifully. Hopefully this can help others, too.
P.S. Thanks for no replies. I figured all of this out myself.

  • Error stopping 'Bonjour Service' when trying to download itunes 9.2

    i recently tried to update itunes to 9.2 on my windows. The automatic download had an error so i ended up having to do it manually. When trying to download itunes, i encountered an error message saying that bojour services could not be stopped. It asked me to verify that I have sufficient privelages to stop system services (??!!). I decided I would try to delete bonjour all together, but i couldn't find it anywhere on my computer. I am so confused and all i really want is to update itunes. Please help!!

    HRESULT: 0x8007054f.
    ... that seems to have been the most popular alphanumeric code in recent days. (Just like katherine's one.)
    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?

  • Error message keeps appearing when trying to download itunes

    Hiya,
    Just brought a brand spanking new Ipod Video 30gb. As there is no installation cd I had to go online and download itunes. However, everytime I try to download i keep getting a message as follows -
    "Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINES\Software\Classes\QuicktimePlayerLib.QuictimePlayerApp\CLSID. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
    My PC recognises the Ipod, its just I am having difficulty downloading the relevant software from the Apple website. I think it had to do with QuickTime Player so I went about deleting all Quicktime player, itunes and ipod software that was already installed (as my brother had a nano already installed on the pc and i thought that may have been causing the download problem).
    Could some plz help!!!!!1

    I get error message -42408 when trying to download itunes update 11.0.2 and I therefore can not update to that latest version.  What can I do?

    Hey there davidgor2!
    I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
    "Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
    These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
    Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
    Remove the SC Info folder.
    If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

    Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    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 the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
