Get error 7 message when trying to open iTunes in windows vista

All of a studded my windows vista 64 bit computer will not open iTunes. It has a error 7 message. I have tried removing it according to supports instructions with no luck. One problem that I had is that it told you to delete the iTunes folder in the common files and it would not let me do that but everything else deleted.still no luck when I reinstalled, any help would be appreciated. I also tried updating the net framework, no luck.
Thanks in advance,

...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.)

I found htis other post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3401328?start=0&tstart=0
I also found this in another post
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

Try here > iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes

Why do I get an error message when trying to open Itunes??????

I have installed I tunes on to my computer about ten separate times now and every time I try to open it I get a message that says.
" The folder "iTunes" could not be found or created,and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
Can anyone help me out????

" The folder "iTunes" could not be found or created,and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
the best place to start with that one is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
but if you run into the complication where My Music doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

Getting Error Message When Trying to Access iTunes Music

Hi!
Need some help.
Little Mac Mini has been through a lot after foobaring after the last update. To bring you up to speed, I had to get Apple Genius Bar to fix the problem but they re-installed the OS by installing 10.4.7, Safari 2.0.4 and iTunes 7.0.x even though it had had 10.4.11, Safari 3.0.4 and iTunes 7.5 on it before the problem. Even when it was offline with Safari and mail crashing, iTunes worked fine. After Apple's re-installing 10.4.7, iTunes had problems and gave me a message that it could not play the video files because the quicktime version was too old. So Quicktime too was re-installed using an older version. Why did Apple Genius Bar fellow do this?
Anyway... after this I found an underlying problem with the directory and had to restart with Tiger install disc and run Repair Disk to fix it. Then I got the computer back up to 10.4.11, Safari 3.0.4 and iTunes 7.5 using Apple's combo update and Software update. Repaired permissions and verified disk, everything.
So here is the problem, I can not get iTunes to access my music on the external hard drive anymore. I remember getting a message that suggested that something happened to the xml file.
Here's the thing: I have two complete copies of the iTunes music on two external hard drives. I also have, in addition to these, a complete copy of the iTunes Music backed up using the Apple program "Back-Up." Usually, I keep iTunes pointing to the music folder on one of the external hard drives, but now, it insists on opening up the iTunes music on the internal which has very little music on it. I know how to open the other music libraries by holding down the option key and starting iTunes and choosing a library. In the past when I did this I got iTunes up with all of my music, etc. fine. I used to be able to access the music library on one external and then switch to the other library by holding the down the option key while starting iTunes. But now, I get a message that says "An iTunes Library file could not be found in the folder 'iTunes Music.' Please change to another" irregardless of which library I choose. What does this message mean? How do I get iTunes to access the music in these libraries again?
I know that the music libraries are all fine on the externals, because I have gone and found them. All is okay with that, but I can't get iTunes to see them. Could this be because the xml file is missing? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Not in the main hard drive or on any of the externals. If it is missing and I need it, where can I get it and where, exactly do I put it. I am a bit sketchy on my understanding of the file hierarchy as you can tell.
I do have back-up. Would a restore fix the problem. My little mac only has about 6 gigs left in it's internal so there is not enough room to put the music back into the internal iTunes that it is currently working from. Can I restore the back up version on to one of the externals? I don't know really what to do.
What am I missing? Thank you so much!- Charlotte

Well... no response.?
Anyway.... solved my own problem. Apple should hire me.
Actually read another post and got an idea. Held down the option key while starting iTunes. Got the window that asks if I want to create a new library or to choose a library. I had been choosing and finding that my libraries on the two external hard drives were damaged. Yes... I think it was because the iTunes Library files and the iTunes Library xml files were missing. So instead of choosing library, I chose to create a new library. Of course it brought up iTunes with nothing in it. I opened the folder "iTunes" on that same external hard drive and boldly clicked and dragged it on to the empty Music section of iTunes. It imported! First importing everything. Music, podcasts, video, audio books, etc. and then imported album art and then boom, it was all there. With trepidation, I closed iTunes and reopened it and yes, all is there still... like in.... it works! It plays! I've been listening to music while typing this.
Of course, the playlists and play counts, ratings are gone. Yes... I expected that, but I have all of the media and that is what is important. Even the things I downloaded just before the problem happened is in there. Okay... well that's good.
Hey.... what ever you do, keep back ups and copies, like several and in several formats and all over the place. For instance, most of my music is backed-up in five places. On a cd, also on a dvd, and also in three places on two different external hard drives!
Okay.. for the weird thing and it's only weird to me because I obviously do not completely understand the file system in the mac. It's this: Before I created this new library, when I went to the external hard drive I found the folder labeled "iTunes" and no other folders. The iTunes folder only contained the media content and I could not find the library or library xml files. Now after importing that one iTunes folder into the newly created library and allowing it to get everything into it, going to the external hard drive I had expected to see a new folder with a new copy of all of the music content in it but instead I found a new folder labeled " iTunes1" and opening it, I found the library and library xml files. Ah.... so if I am understanding this correctly, what "creating a new library" did was to add in new the library and library xml files that were missing, but it still accessed the "iTunes" folder with all of the content that was already there. So... in essence fixing the problem. Yes... this would be correct because the external has the same amount of gigs used as it had before I created the new library. This is way cool! And no, I did not mess anything up, my computer's internal hasn't enough space for the iTunes music content and it's showing the same amount of space used so it's not like it moved the stuff into the internal. It couldn't do that, anyway.
I shall thank the guys on the other post for their help. Hope this helps others.
By the way... this whole problem happened originally because apparently my hard disk had errors in the directory and the downloading of the last security update (security update 2007-009) was just too much for it.
Look before updating always check by going to Utilities and performing a "permissions repair" and also running "Verify disk," even if you see that your S.M.A.R.T. disk shows "verified." If verify disk shows any errors or problems then perform a disk repair. Do this before any update or installation or you may run into serious trouble. To do this get out your OS install disk. Use the Tiger one if your computer is currently running Tiger. Leopard one if it's using Leopard. Put the disk in and re-start your computer. As soon as it is off and before it even begins to start up, hold down the C key on the keyboard and keep holding it down until you get the message asking what language you want. Don't panic, this is correct. It will look like it wants to install the OS again. Don't re-install the OS. But you can choose the language. Here I was panicking and I don't want you to. At the top you will see the installer bar. Go to Disk Utility up on that bar and click on that, it will take you to Disk Utility and you will then and only then be able to perform a disk repair by clicking on "Repair Disk." Do it! Do it a couple of times until the thing reports that the disk has no problems. I forgot how it states this but I do remember that the lettering is in green. Green is great! Close Disk Utility. Quit Installer. A window will come up asking you to choose where to restart from so choose your internal hard drive and it should restart and be good to go.
Trust me, the updates are fine. 10.4.11, Safari 3.0.4 and iTunes 7.5 are good, it's existing problems in your computer's directory or keychains that is causing the problems when updating or installing new stuff. I had to learn all of this the hard way, even though I tried to keep my mac clean and in top shape, and even though I asked and asked the Genius Bar guys at the local Apple store if there is anything more I needed to know to prevent difficulties. I learned all this here, in these discussions, in answer to my posts under other sections. Thanks Klaus1, Hawaiian_Starman, dechamp, and baltwo!
Okay.. if I got anything wrong in my descriptions, please, please correct me! I don't want to be inaccurate. I want to know this stuff!
Thank you so much for persevering through my long post, here. -Charlotte

Error message when trying to open iTunes files.

I just began having the problem of an error message appearing...
... if I double-click on an iTunes audio file mp3, m4a, etc. or even drag the file directly on to the iTunes application icon.
I did a rebuild of LaunchServices and rebooted but the message still will appear unless the file is opened from an iTunes playlist.
Yet the file plays in iTunes... but the error message is still there and has to be dismissed.
Whereas if I open the same file(s) via the playlist... I get no error message and the file(s) play fine.
Also if I drag the files on to QuickTime 10.0 they play fine without displaying an error message.
Though the error message indicates it's a link problem... from the above... I don't see how it can possibly be since even dragging an audio file directly on to the iTunes application icon still results in the error message appearing.
I only discovered this today when downloading Piezo and I attempted to open the m4a files it saved. So I then tried to open other iTunes files in Finder windows rather than the iTunes playlist window and had the error message appear again.
I don't want to have to add every audio file to an iTunes playlist in order to open it without the error message so can someone please suggest a fix?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Ron
27" iMac, OSX 10.6.7, iTunes 10.5.2

Well I solved my problem.
What still doesn't make sense though is that dragging iTune audio files directly on to the iTunes application icon gave me the error message... which is why I originally discounted it as being a potential link problem. If I had been able to get files to open normally (i.e. without an error message) I would have known it was a simple link problem. Strange.
Anyway... relinking my folder of audio files did the trick.
If you don't already know how here are the steps...
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > click on the "Change" button and browse to the folder that contains all of your iTunes audio files... that's it.

Please Help - Error message when trying to open itunes

Hi
Can someone help pls? I was in the middle of upgrading my version of itunes and my computer crashed. Now when I try to open itunes I get an error message as follows: 'iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience'.
I don't know what to do! I am worried I have lost all of my music!?

hiya!
'Quick time failed to initialize. Error # - 2095. Please make sure QuickTime is properly installed on this computer'.
okay, let's try a careful standalone QT reinstall:
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Error message when trying to open iTunes.exe

I love itunes and everything, and its been working really great until recently (about 2 days ago) in which my iTunes stopped working. I get a message which says:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable."
I went to the support section for iTunes on here on how to check these files and things and found that one file causes the problem, in which the support told me to delete it and try running it. Well I did that and the License Agreement pops up and I click agree, then the error message pops up and the file that I deleted gets redownloaded into the folder.
I have also tried reinstalling it and that has not done anything to help either. Please Help!

From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421 ::
Fix digital signing of Windows drivers
In some cases an issue with the digital signing of certain Windows XP drivers can prevent iTunes from launching. Use the following steps to correct such issues:
1. Highlight all of the following 4 lines of text that begin with regsvr32 and then choose Copy from the Edit menu of your web browser:
regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll
regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll
regsvr32 /s initpki.dll
2. Open the Notepad program by navigating to:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad
3. In Notepad, choose Paste from the Edit menu. Note: make sure that the text that appears in Notepad is the same as what is shown above.
4. From the File menu, choose Save As.
5. In the File name: field type iTunes.bat and save the file to the Desktop.
6. Close Notepad and locate the iTunes.bat file. It should appear on the Desktop.
7. Double-click the file and you will see a black window appear on the screen for about a minute. Wait until the window automatically disappears and proceed to the next step.
8. The iTunes.bat file can be deleted at this time.
9. Try opening iTunes again.

Error Message when trying to open iTunes

iPod Nano Gen 2, 4 GB:
After 2 weeks of searching apple.com and other forums for why won't itunes open due that error message that says we're sorry but we've encountered an error and itunes needs to close- sorry for the inconvenience (or similiar to that)..... i could not get an answer that helped me and i think i looked everywhere!
so i bought a windows compatible mp3 player (Creative Zen Nano) BUT it wouldn't work either (got the same error message but for a diff program for that player)..... so realized it was my probably my OS doing wrong.
since i am not computer smart - i got someone to 'reformat' my PC ..... he agreed that my OS was the problem and this was the best solution to my issue for getting ipod (or Creative mp3) to work.
I had to save everything to disc that i would need after - as re-formatting restores your computer to the day you bought it..... so plan ahead.
G-Luck to all! The tech details are lost on me but it worked!

I'd recommend taking a look over the topics from the last week or so, as there are numerous threads that cover this topic. BUT, I will quickly say that I have tried everthing that has been suggested, and still have the same exact problem.
Good luck!
Jeff.
