Error message C:\ProgramData\188F1432....DIFxINST32.exe

My iPhone always connected to iTunes OK but now I get message - cannot connect as some software missing - uninstall and re-install.
I have now done this three times and every time I try to open iTunes I get the error message:
File C:\ProgramData\188F1432-103A-4ffb-80F1-36B633C5C9EI\x86\DIFxINST32.exe is not associated with a program - please associate it with a program.
iTunes opens but does not recognise iPhone.
When I use Start/Progammes and enter the above file it shows as does not exist.
In Explorer (set to show hidden files) this file does not appear.
I ran Virus check, Malware check and CCleaner - nothing found.
I urgently need to get iTunes back up as I need to back up my iPhone 4 to transfer stuff onto new iPhone 5.
Any help in resolving this would be appreciated.
I am running Windows 7 Pro.
Many thanks

Update:
I resolved the above error message by restoring an earlier version of that file but iTunes recognises my iPod OK but still says cannot connect iPhone as some software is missing.
iPhone shows in My Computer.
I have stopped and reset Apple Mobile Device to Automatic.
Help please!

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Why is it that every udate of my iPhone software do I get the error message on my laptop: AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure enrty point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll

Each time I update the software on my iPhone4 I get the following error message on my lap top: AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure enrty point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll
I go on line to find a solution, but it must be a common problem, why has apple not corrected yet?

This is the fix I got from discussions and it worked for me. It is copied below. I just did the manual fix which I have underlined. Good luck! Regards, Belle.
This can occur because libmxl2.dll is not in your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support folder.
There have been some issues with this and other dlls not being in the right place (or not being everywhere they should be) since the 10.3.1.55 iTunes update.
However, I note that the 10.4 iTunes update is now out - surprisingly quickly - so try installing that, rebooting, and see if your issue is solved.
If it isn't, though, here's the manual fix:-
With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the libmxl2.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Reboot and see if all is well.
I actually had the issue with SQLite3.dll, and the above fix worked for me (I found it in an April 2010 posting!).
I passed on the fix as above for the similar issue with libmxl2.dll to someone who had exactly your problem, and he reported that it fixed it for him.

Error Message: EventType : BEX P1 : iTunes.exe --- iTunes Crashes!!

Hi,
Please help with this seemingly unfixable issue:
When I go to synch my iPod (30 GB/Video), iTunes crashes and shutsdown and I get an error message with this this string:
EventType : BEX P1 : iTunes.exe P2 : 9.2.0.61 P3 : 4c18061b
P4 : iTunes.dll P5 : 9.2.0.61 P6 : 4c1805f8 P7 : 0004be7e
P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
My attempts to fix have been, and none of these worked:
1. Run FULL Virus Scan
2. Run FULL Adaware Scan
3. Run FULL Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Scan
4. Apple Tech Suppor Recommended I uninstall (in this order) iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Service, Bonjour, Application to Apple Support. After this I went in to my Registery and deleted any iTunes/iPod/Apple files. I did the same in Windows Explorer (Application Data and Program Files). I also did a Registery scan (Uniblue Reg. Cleaner Software).
5. Shutting down all programs running.
6. "Restoring" my iPod
When I start to synch my iPod after about 100 songs an (Windows) iTunes Error message pops up and crashes.
Please help if you can and if you actually know how to fix this!
Al thanks!!

Hi,
I thought I would hijack the thread since the OP seems to have gone missing, and I'm having the same issue, and have taken the same steps to correct it - to no avail.
Itunes does NOT appear to be crashing at the same song/album. Rather, when I connect my ipod Video, it crashes before it can even begin syncing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 and now I get an error messages saying "The item 'iTunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly."

I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 for windows 7 and now when I try to open itunes with the shortcut on my desktop I get this error message: "The item 'itunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly." I can't open itunes at all. Is there anything I can do or is there a problem with the new update?

Start > Programs = Firefox
Does that shortcut work?
If so, delete the current shortcut that is in the Quick Start tray and drag the one that is in Start > Programs down there.

Error messages - DDE Server Windows itunes.exe - Entry point Not found and iTunesHelper.exe - The procedure entry point asl_add_log_file could not be located in the dynamic link Library ASL.dll

Hi
I have tried to research these problems I am getting, but have not been able to resolve them.
1st is the above DDE Server Windows iTunes.exe - entry point not found.
This only occurs when I try to start iTunes.
if I click ok , several times, iTunes will start but slowly.
If at any time I have to reboot my computer I get
iTunesHelper.exe - the procedure entry point asl_add_log_file could not be located in the dynamic link library ASL.dll
if I click 3 times OK it goes away.
To this end I have uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my machine then gone to iTunes web site and downloaded the latest version.
Installing it but still get the same errors on reboot and trying to run iTunes
Anyone any ideas please.
I have a self build PC it has an Intel core 2 quad Q6000 @ 2.40GHz
Ram 4.00GB
32bit OS
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
Firewall - Zonealarm
Virus - Zonealarm
Thanks in advance

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. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, 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. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is 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.)

InitCVIRTE generates error message "Unhandled exception in "MyApp.exe": 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000."

Hi,
I have converted a LabWindows CVI project to Visual Studio 2005. When I start the application i debug mode I get the message "Unhandled exception at 0x685662ba in EE352-500V.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000."
It comes when the application calls: InitCVIRTE in this context:
int __stdcall WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpszCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
// Initialize LabWindows/CVI run-time library
if (InitCVIRTE (hInstance, 0, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
The debugger indicates that value of hInstance is 0x00400000 {unused=9460301}
Can someone give me a solution to this problem. I have done some search on the Web without success.
Thanks!

I think that exception might be coming from the data execution prevention service that is part of Win XP SP2. The OS thinks that you're somehow trying to execute in the data segment and kills the process. It's intended to catch worms and viruses.
You can turn this service off for non-Microsoft programs using the control panel.
Many pointer handling errors now report as this exception instead of as a memory violation exception. That looks like a null pointer derefence to me.

When loading firefox i get an error message, "can't find ////jpsnotify.exe. now firefox loads but every time i go into anything else it appears. this started to happen when i downloaded a new verison of java.

i downloaded a new version of Java and i then started getting "windows can't find c:\java\jre6\lib\deploy\jqs\ff\..\..\..\bin\jqsnotify.exe. now this only happens when loading firefox. it happens through out the use of firefox when loading other programs. any suggestions?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Try re-installing Java. See [[Using the Java plugin with Firefox]]
A quick search for jqsnotify.exe on Google indicates that it is related to the Java quick start option.

When I click on Firefox.exe I get error message Can't start Firefox.exe as js3250.dll missing. When I try to re-download Firefox I get message saying can't download because Firefox is already running, but it isn't. How and where can I get js3250.dll?

Why punish me for a few too many keystrokes by deleting what I have already entered below my question. You're becoming MS.

See these posts about the same problem:

Itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe

itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe
no problems with ITunes on Dell Inspiron Windows 7 until yesterday. ITunes version 11.0.2. iphone won't connect stating required software is not installed. uninstall and install 64 bit version of iTunes. I have 64 bit version already. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times already. When re-installing ITunes get error message c:\programdata\34be82c4-e596-4e99-a191-52c6199ebf6\x64\difxinst64.exe. file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. please install or create an association in the Default Programs control panel. iTunes install continues after the difxinst64.exe error message but then get the iphone cannot be used error message again. therefore, I can't sync my iphone with iTunes until I figure this out.
can't win for losing. had iTunes on my windows 7 laptop for 4 years. first time I've ever encountered this.

I am a PC Tech and had a customer with this issue. Ran across this post in my search and ended up finding the solution on my own. The problem isn't with the iTunes software but the installer for the GEARAspi drivers. Really the issues is with the file type asssociations in the windows registry. On the system I was working on the HKCR key for .exe should point to the exefile key but pointed to nothing. To fix it create a new txt document and paste the following in (only paste what is in between the [code][/code] tags):
[code]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[/code]
Now change the extension from .txt to .reg. Then right click and select merge. iTunes should now install properly.

Which Bonjour were you using, daniel? The Bonjour Print Services type, or the one that comes bundled with iTunes?

Owl Orphanage Photoshop exe msvcp 110 error message

I just returned from holidays and fired up my computer only to find that for some reason, photoshop cs 5.1 could not be accessed. The error message read "Owl orphanage Photoshop exe. Msvcp 110:dll System error. I used the program the night before leaving and am at a loss as to what happened. I am new to the technical stuff so any help would be appreciated.

Yes, you have plugins installed.
That error only comes from some third party plugins.
And the MSVCDP100.dll error comes specifically from Nik/Google plugins that did an auto update recently (and botched it).

RIM.DESKTOP.AUTOUPDATE.EXE - BAD IMAGE ERROR MESSAGE

I use a Dell Inspiron laptop with Vista OS. For no apparent reason that I can determine, when I try to open DTM v6.0.2.44, I get the following error message, "Rim.Desktop.exe - Bad Image". After closing this error message, a second error comes up, "Rim.Desktop.Autoupdate.exe - Bad Image" .And after closing the latter, a 3rd error message comes up, "Rim.Transcoder.exe - Bad Image". Finally, I get a repeat of "Rim.Desktop.Autoupdate.exe - Bad Image" and although it takes several tries to get rid of this error message, once I do, the DTM appears to work fine with Syncing and backing up my data. All other software works perfectly and without any error messages. Any ideas?
