Error 7 (Windows error 126)

Question

Ok so this only happened today, it was working fine the other day.
I tired running iTunes, and an error up which read
"The program can't start because V3HUNT.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. -> iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)."
I've followed most replies in this forum, remove all Apple components(QuickTime, Apple Update, iTunes, etc.), update my .net framework to 4.0. It still shows this.
I once got to the point where it says "The ordinal 51 could not be located in the dynamic link library ODBC32.dll".
I somehow think this is connected to a Windows 7 error rather then iTunes. Would it help if I reformatted my computer?

Answer 1

I installed the iTunes version 11.1.4.62 update on Jan. 23, 2014 and the error messages started. I'm 99.9% sure the iTunes update is the root of the problem. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled iTunes (version 11.1.4.62) and it still will not open (I still get the Error 7/Error 126 message). I'm also getting an error message when I reboot by PC that says there is an APSDaemon.exe - System Error. That message reads: The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. I'm not sure what program it is referring to. Apple iTunes I assume. Again the reinstall of iTunes did not fix the problem. I read about a fix for the latter (or maybe both problems at www.pcsupport.about.com that said to remove all Apple software in a certain sequence then reinstall iTunes to fix the problem. Have'nt tried that fix yet. I may just restore my system to an date earlier than Jan. 23, 2014 and see if that fixes the problem. I'm not sure if installing iTunes will fix the MSVCR80.dll problem. Lumenous: As long a you back up your music library before you uninstall/reinstall iTunes you should be OK. If I understand correctly the uninstall/reinstall will not affect your music library files (they are not deleted) but I always, always make a backup. I can't speak to the problem with your titles not being there after you reorganized by genre. I've done quite a bit of editting in my music library over the years (adding titles, artists, etc.) and never experienced that problem.
