Fix for VBScript Error When Installing iTunes/Quicktime on Vista

With GREAT THANKS to http://www.keathmilligan.net. I was able to fix this problem by performing the following steps:
The iTunes/QuickTime installer will fail with a "VBScript not installed" error on some installations of Vista. I'm not sure exactly what leads to this situation as it does not seem to affect all Vista users, but there is a relatively simple fix:
Click Start, All Programs, Accessories then RIGHT click on Command Prompt and select "Run as Administrator"
change directory to your windows\system32 directory
enter the following command:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
This will re-register VBScript and allow the iTunes installer to run.
After almost pulling my hair out for a month, this worked like a charm and I was able to install iTunes/quicktime with the latest version and get to hear my music again after a month of trying everything. THANKS KEATH

Issue was very happily resolved with great thanks to Keath http://www.keathmilligan.net/node/139

  • TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    Is that an error 2 message?
    If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Error 0x800736FD when installing iTunes + QuickTime

    Well, I finally caved. I bought my first digital portable media player. The people on the street were throwing things at me, and my doctor said he might have to operate my shoulder. The boombox had to go!
    So, I'm trying to install iTunes. My Dell machine came with an "Apple Software Update" program installed. It's been bugging me to install iTunes since I got it, so this time I clicked OK and let do its thing.
    The automatic updater "Apple Software Update" is trying to install "iTunes + QuickTime" version 7.4.3. It goes through the download phase OK, then starts the installation. After about 10 minutes (wherein the installation has not progressed in the last 9 minutes), an error message appears in a separate window:
    iTunes + QuickTime
    (X) An error has occured during the installation of Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc...",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762" ,processorArchitecture="x86". Refer to Help for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD.
    Has anyone seen this before or know how I can get around it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried downloading iTunes yourself and installing it manually?
    You can download the iTunes installer from here:

  • Quicktime errors when installing itunes.

    I've been trying to install itunes for the last couple of days and have folowed the instructions provided by apple. When I try tpo run the program I always get the following ' Quicktime error. Quicktime failed to initialise (error-2096). Please uninstall itunes , then reinstall itunes again.
    I've done this abut half a dozen times and it's not working. Getting a bit fed up with the whole thing.
    Anyone got any ideas??

    You should find the compatibility tab if you are looking in the right place.
    Could you confirm what you did.
    Open My Comupter, then the c: drive
    Open c:\Program Files\Quicktime
    Right click on Quicktimeplayer.exe
    Select Properties.
    The compatibility tab should be right there.

  • ISScript Error When Installing Itunes

    Hi I have had an Ipod before and have Itunes 4.8 installed on my comp. Recently I've tried to install a newer version of Itunes onto my comp (Version: 6.0.1.3) and I get through most of the steps untill the Installer starts to remove the backup files and I am issued a Itunes error:
    The Install Script engine on this machine is older than the version required to run this setup. If available please install the latest version of ISScript.msi or contact your support Personnel for further assistance.
    Then the Install script error is followed by a Feature Transfer Error stating:
    Error: -1603 Fatal Error occurred during instaltion. Consult Windows Installler (MSI.CHM) or MSDN for more info.
    So, I went to the Installshield website and found this article here: http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108322
    I downloaded the one that says version six, being that is the version I am trying to install and that is what the procedure told me to do. (You'll understand when you go to the site)
    Well the install of the ISScript goes fine but when I reboot and try to install Itunes again, I recieve the same errors as before.
    Can anyone help me? Please help because I JUST ordered my Ipod Video today and it will be here soon.
    Also, I tried to uninstall Itunes, but when I go to the Add/remove Programs, Itunes, nor Ipod Updator is not listed. Only Quicktime is. I was able to remove quicktime.
    Please help.
    Thank you very much for taking the time to read this

    Hey Deb, wow I thought I had fixed the problem. The guy I talked to from Apple said it would work fine as long as I installed Service Pack 2 and guess what? It didnt. I contacted Apple again today and they're giving me a new response saying its a "Windows" problem and they can'thelp me out. So I went to installshield and typed in the second error I'm recieving, the 1603 error and It gave me a list of what I can do to troubleshoot it, yet I still have the problem. So I'm really not sure what I can do, I guess I will see what happens when my Ipod comes and I try installing Itunes from the cd. Maybe it will work.........(ya right) O well sorry for getting your hopes up but keep trying on it. I have no other ideas of how to fix this. Keep in touch!

  • "insufficient privileges" errors when installing iTunes 10.0 (Bonjour)

    I attempted to install iTunes 10.0. Initially I used the auto-installer and I received the following errors:
    "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files\Bonjour. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator."
    Then the same error with the following file:
    "C: \Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\com.yahoo.go.sync.client.resources\...\Windows."
    I was given two options to either "retry" or "cancel" --"retry" just keeps throwing the error up. I was forced to click "cancel" both times.
    Following hitting cancel twice I got an "installation interrupted" message telling me that the installation had failed.
    Following the errors recommendation, I logged off and relogged on as the administrator. Then I downloaded iTunes 10.0 from the Apple web site and attempted to install it manually as the administrator while logged on as the administrator (right click the program "run as Administrator"). I received all the same errors and the same failed installation.
    When I attempt to go into the program files and alter the privileges to bonjour or the Apple\mobile device support I get a “you do not have permission to view or edit this object’s permission settings” even when logged on as the administrator. It appears that both are Apple programs probably installed with a previous version of iTunes so I am not too sure why the tight security and why I do not have the ability to modify them.
    I am running Windows 7 (32bit). Any assistance with getting iTunes 10.0 installed correctly would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there, this is what had to do.
    First a bit background. I got the same errors. Insufficient privies for this and that. Logged in as Admin, same problem. Gave my user account Admin rights, still same problem.. now it actually said only 'Creator/Users' can install etc.
    So long story short deleting, rebooting, magic... all failed.
    1. I uninstalled all Apple software!!
    2. yes all of it. Uninstall programs. Uninstalled Apple stuff, then Bonjour then Quick time.
    3. tried to delete folders that were left behind, got smacked with insufficient rights to do so.
    4. Logged in as Admin (that will teach ya Win 7)
    5. Used Unlocker and LockHunter. I was able to unlock/kill process of some files and was able to delete some folders, but not all (grrrr)
    6. disabled AntiVirus/Spyware program
    7. that allowed me to delete all folders (wth? .. okay then)
    8. went into registry and Searched for 'Apple'
    9. fainted when I saw hundreds of Apple entries.
    10. deleted all obvious 'Apple', 'MobileMe' and 'Quicktime entries', take care not to delete 'Applet...' stuff. Not the same. Like I said I only got rid of obvious Apple software stuff.
    11. finally I ran CCleaner (great app, get it and donate a couple of $$) and had it scan, back up and clean my registry.
    12 rebooted and logged in as me/user
    13 checked /program files to make sure bonjour, apple and quicktime was really gone
    14. downloaded latets itunes
    15. installed itunes, did my back ups and updated ipod software
    man that only took me a couple of hours

  • Error when installing itunes version 9 on Windows Vista 32bit

    Not a lot of documentation on that one, I'm afraid, but there's some general principles troubleshooting we can try with it that might get us moving forwards.
    (1) Do you currently have a copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on that PC? If so, try downloading the following security update:
    [Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
    Does iTunes install for you after applying that update?
    (2) If no joy there, head into your Windows Update and click on the Update History. Have a lot of Updates also been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on the entries for the failed updates to bring up more information on each. What error codes appear for you for the failed updates? (Precise spelling, please.)

  • Error when installing itunes 10 on windows 7 64 bit

    why do I keep n getting the error messages when i try and install itunes on windows 7 64 bit. But sometimes it will install but once it gets done it say that something is not install I need to uninstall and reinstall itunes..... is there something I need to do to get this to work....

    HRESULT:0x800736FD
    It's rarer to see these on Windows 7 than it is on Vista. Somtimes they're a bit easier to deal with on 7, too.
    First, head to Windows Update and see if you can update the PC. If you can, and you collect updates without any errors, try another iTunes install.
    If you get errors installing Windows Updates, double click on the failed updates in your Update history to bring up a small window containing alphanumeric codes for the erros. Are they also 800736FDs, or are you getting other error codes?

  • Windows Installer reports errors when installing iTunes

    I have a system with Windows XP. I only have 512MB memory. I have made numerous attempts to install iTunes. I actually had iTunes on the computer previously in conjuction with EZVinyl Converter. I was having problems with that and tried to reload iTunes. The download works fine. When I try to install, I get a message saying, "Windows Installer encountered problems  before iTunes could be configured. I do not know how to fix the problem.
    I use Comodo for my antivirus and firewall protection.

    Problem was resolved by solutions offered by B Noir. It was necessary to remove the Temp folder in Local Settings for iTunes to install correctly on my Windows XP system. Thanks for your input.

  • Error when installing Itunes 10

    I have uninstalled and re-installed Itunes several times - I've even managed to delete the users/AppData/Local/Temp, as advised somewhere else - but, on installing iTune 10, the process seems to go well for a good while (copying, deleting files, registering, validating ... etc) then I get the error message:
    "Error writing to C;\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EULA.nib\objects.xib.
    Verify that you have access to that directory."
    Thing is iTunes was working fine but then one day it decided to re-install, failed and I am where I am.
    Any help out there? I have bought Windows 7 in desperation - Vista does seem to fall about on occasions. Maybe this will help?

    *replying to raige*
    "Error writing to C;\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\de.lproj\EULA.nib\objects.xib. Verify that you have access to that directory."
    That one is consistent with disk or file damage, raige.
    First try running a disk check over your C drive. There's Vista instructions in the following document. Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors (you'll be prompted to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer). This sort of scan should take a while ... if it stops after a few minutes or seconds, something is interfering with the scan.
    [Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]
    Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, try another iTunes install. does it go through properly this time?
