Error message on install of itunes 10.5

hoping someone can help, I just downloaded itunes 10.5 and when I tried to install I got an error message that said:
"there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor"
then it rolled back the install and told me that my system hadn't been changed and that to try again I needed to run the installer package again. This yielded the same results.
Any help would be most appreciated.
thanks!

Hmm, I'm not familiar with Process Control. Google showed it to be a Win2K server utility.
Is it part of the SysInternal tools, now named Process Monitor?
If this is a new setup with not much else on the PC, you're right - it might be faster to just reinstall W7. But, it was a clean install before and this happened -- so it might do the same thing. Yikes.
Had a look at task manager > process tab again. In the Command Line column there are only a few programs that have this -Embedding switch. Flash, Windows Live email & WMP. Not sure where they are getting it from, as a registry search on "embedding" yielded nothing.
This vaguely reminds me of an old problem where itunes would take over all the PC icons
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2397675?start=0&tstart=0
but not exactly, itunes is starting in your case and not taking over all your desktop icons. The fix for that I think, was to restore file associations as described here

It working OK in safe mode is probably a huge clue, but nothing comes to mind as to why.
Did you try installing from a different windows admin user account? Did that do anything different?
Well, if you reinstall windows, remember to deauthorize itunes before you do it.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Error message after installing latest itunes

Hi,
I have just downloaded the latest version of Itunes and after quitting tunes & retrying, because the UK store will not load(WHY???). I get an error msg. as follows "applesyncnotifier.exe"
core foundation.dll not found. Any ideas anyone.
Gramps

One other suggestion I've seen is to uninstall the Mobile Me Control Panel. That seems to have helped some people with the DLL issue.
Whether or not that will help with connecting to the iTunes Store I don't know. If that's come up only since the update, are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? Some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure. If you have Norton, you can find instructions for that utility on Symantec's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Regards.

HT4623 Unable to update applications installed.Error message "unable to connet iTunes" appears after installation icon hanging

Since last two weeks I am unable to update my applications installed in iPad with iOS 6. Also no new app is getting installed. Installation icon appears but after some time error message "unable to connect iTunes " appears.Can some one guide me to solve this problem please?

I've had similar problems. Whenever I try and update apps on the iPhone, the app would apparently download ok, but then not install. This didn't happen with new apps - only ones I was updating.
I got around the issue by downloading the update in iTunes on my Mac, then deleting the app from the phone, then syncing. The problem with this method is that certain apps had saved settings which are lost when following this method.
However... I seem to have fixed the issue after 2 months of trying.
I followed the advice of this page:
http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/09/10/itunes-8-workaround-for-5002-unknown-error -when-trying-to-update-apps/
Then I repaired disk permissions and finally I completely erased and restored my iPhone BEFORE I synced it after the moving of the Mobile Applications folder.
It's all working perfectly now and made my life much easier (especially with Aurora Feint updates), so I hope that this method works for some others.
Good luck.

Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Error message after installing iTunes 8.1 plc help

After have installed iTunes I get an error message saying: The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder.
Now I've tried to creat the folder manually, but that doesn't work either
have any of you had this problem too?
I've tried removing it and re-installing iTunes 15 times...

In XP, this us usually caused by a registry problem, See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1866
Sometimes My music does not show up in TweakUI. If that happens see:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1731188&#1731188
But be careful it involves editing the registry.
If iTunes installed, you may be able to work round this with a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose or create a library
If you already have an iTunes folder containing a library, navigate to it and choose iTunes Library.itl. Otherwise create a library in My Music.
(the shift key is the one that makes upper case letters)
