Error message when trying to install itunes. please help

"This installation cannot be run by directly launching the MSI package. You must run setup.exe."
in Downloaded Installations folder on my computer, I clicked on the downloaded itunes applications and that was the dialog box that popped up on my screen. What do I do? And how do I do it! please help.

hmmmm ... it sounds like you're clicking inside the folder containing installation configuration information for your iTunes.
what happens if you download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file to your desktop, and then run the install by doubleclicking on that?
here's a link to the installer download:
iTunes 7.1.1.5 installer

Weird Error Message when Trying to Install iTunes 10

I had to uninstall iTunes recently because it was getting an error message when I tried to open it and that message suggested I remove and reinstall it. Now when I try to install iTunes 10 (I had a lower version before, iTunes 9.something), I get this message:
An error occured during the installation of assmebly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x76"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054F
I absolutely hate messages like these, you can't do anything with them and it makes you feel like the problem is unfixable. Hopefully that's not the case because until this is fixed I have no iTunes or Quicktime.

Through my own cunning and genius, I have found the way for someone else to guide me step-by-step exactly what to do.
For anybody else having this problem, GO HERE: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;946414
The solution is that "Regedit" thing where you delete certain parts of your registry and then restart your computer. Just do like it says there and you'll be good to go. Finally, this nightmare of epic proportions is over, and I can get back to playing airsoft.

GEAR driver error message when trying to install iTunes on Vista

The error message I am getting is as follows:
"Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. The GearAspiWDM service used by the GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted during the next system reboot. Please reboot the system and run iTunes again."
I have followed all the instructions for completely removing iTunes and trying again. I have also tried to install the Quicktime/iTunes package. Nothing is working!! My son got this iPod shuffle as a reward for doing great on his SOL tests and he hasn't even been able to enjoy it yet because I can't get iTunes to install! Please help!!

Error Message when trying to install iTunes

I'm trying to install itunes to my laptop. It downloaded tp my computer fine, but as it tries to install i receive and errror window that says, "Application support is currently suspended. you must undo the changes made by that installation to continue. Do you want to undo those changes?" if i click "yes" it pops up again immediately. if I press "no" the installation tries to continue and the same message pops up 3 more times. if i press "no" to clear it i finally get the message, "iTunes Installer Interupted. Errors occured during installation before the requested operations for the iTunes could be completed. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation, run the installer again. Click Fiinish to exit the installer." If i hit finish and try again, I go through all the same errors each time.
I have windows 8.
Any ideas?

many thanks.
It failed to update and the error code is 8000FFFF
Good-O ... with that one, let's try the fixit from the following Microsoft document:
[Windows Update error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
Does that get your Windows Updates flowing again? If so, stock up on the ones you're behind on (there may be quite a lot of them) and then try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Error message when trying to install itunes 9

I checked already to see if this was answered earlier and it isnt. so.
When i open the itunes installer and right after it prepares to install i get the message "invalid drive:F:/" and then itunes installer tells me that it cannot complete the install. I usually am able to get around things like this myself but im stumped here so please if you can help me. thanks.

When i open the itunes installer and right after it prepares to install i get the message "invalid drive:F:/"
Often the cause of that is that the Windows installer database (that Windows installer checks on when uninstalling previous versions of iTunes) has become convinced that an iTunes program file or whatnot is actually located (in your case) on the F drive. If you don't happen to have an F drive on the system, the installer gets horribly confused when it goes to remove the file (or files or whatnot) and you get an "Invalid drive:" error. (In your case, "Invalid drive:F:/".)
So first we should try temporarily adding an F drive to your system. (If the Installer can actually see an F drive it usually calms down, even if the files/whatnot in question aren't there.)
Here's Vista instructions for that.
Do you have an external drive or a thumb drive of some description? (An iPod in manual mode would do fine ... anything that shows up in "Computer" as a drive would be fine.)
If so, plug the external drive in. Go "Start > Computer" and check the drive letter it gets assigned in "Computer".
(1) *If the drive letter the external is assigned is F,* try another iTunes install *(install iTunes to its standard default location, not onto the F).*
(2) *If the drive letter the external is assigned is not F,* change the drive letter to F using Disk Management, using the following steps:
In your Start menu, right-click "Computer", and select "Manage"
Click "Disk Management".
In Disk Management, right-click the external drive and select "Change Drive letter and paths ..."
Click "Change".
Select "F" and click okay.
Now try another iTunes install *(install iTunes to the default location, not onto the F).*
Does that get you past the "Invalid Drive F" message?

Error messages when trying to install itunes

I keep getting the message
"could not write value to key\software\classes\.rmp\openwithlist\itunes.exe
PLEASE HELP ME.... i'm about the throw the computer out the window!
thanks.

+could not write value to key\software\classes\.rmp\openwithlist\itunes.exe+
That's not the most common of keys to be cited in this context. However it's close enough to a different (more familiar) key message to suggest a course of action.
Try a modified version of the registry edit procedure described in the following document:
Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
The modification is in Step 6 ... here, *Click the reveal button next to ".rmp."* (instead of .cdda) and do all the subsequent backups/edits within the .rmp branch of the Key.
Any help?

Error message when trying to install iTunes on my pc

Hi I have tried several times now to install iTunes on my PC (Windows XP).
The error message reads: "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified".
I have tried the help topic "Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP" but I don't have the "iTunesHelper" and "qttask" checkboxes at step 7. I have tried carrying on without these two tick-boxes and restarted the pc but I get the same error message.
Any ideas (gratefully received!)?

Hey AJS4862,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are having trouble installing iTunes on Windows. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
"The action is only valid for products that are installed"
Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
ok here is what you need to do:
go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
Hope it works for you mate!

How do I fix this !!! Please

...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
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.)
