Help installing iTunes 8.1

I cannot install the latest iTunes 8.1 as I get a message "problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run". Can somebody please help me.

Something to try ...
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Try uninstalling any instance of Apple software update.
If you get an uninstall failure, run the cleanup utility and remove any instance of Apple software update that you find.
Download the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Rune the installer from there.

I need help installing iTunes on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7.

When I attempt to install iTunes (downloading from the iTunes website) on my new Dell Inspiron with Windows 7, I get the following error message, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."
Please help. Thank you.

Have you tried to install other programmes on the same PC? If they have worked, your installer should be in working order, so redownload iTunes and try again

Need help installing Itunes in Windows 7.

The installation process seems to stall during "Publishing product information" then give the following error message; " An error occurred during the installation of assembly "Microsoft VC80 jCRT type ="win32", version ="8.0.50727.4053" publicKey Token= "IFc8b3b9a1e18e3b: processorArchitecture="amd64". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT. 0x800736FD.
How do I fix this or get around it. I'm not familar enough to understand what the error is that the message is describing.

b noir Thanks

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? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

Installer Utility missing? Help installing iTunes 9.2

I just upgraded to the new iPhone4, and I'm trying to install iTunes 9.2 on my iBook G4 (groan, I know, I know). Running OS version 10.4.11.
When I downloaded the .dmg file and went to open it, I received an error message asking me to choose an application to open the file with. This has been happening with other programs I try to download for almost six months and I've always chocked it up to the age of my computer. I see a document image, rather than the cardboard box file I used to see. I noticed that other individuals in the "Installing & Upgrading iTunes for Mac" section had similar problems, and I checked another site as well.
After reading [URL="http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=625607&tstart=0&me ssageID=3042617"]this thread[/URL], I have been thinking maybe my system just isn't recognizing the .mpkg file. I downloaded the RCDefaultApp as recommended and went through the steps outlined to get to the PrefPane, but when I went to take this step, "Then set the Installer (in Applications/Utilities) as the default application," I could find no "Installer" in the Utilities folder.
Is this normal? If not, how can I get the Installer Utility back? Are there other recommendations for the issue I'm having installing iTunes 9.2? I'm unable to properly setup my iPhone4 until I get this version of iTunes running, so any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Okay, I went to the Genius Bar for help with this, and the guy there figured it out. So in case anyone else has had this happen, here's what it was:
When I clicked on the .dmg icon and got what would ordinarily be an opened box (installer) icon, I got what looked like a doc icon instead. Click on that doc icon, then hit command-I (get info). On my computer, somehow the "Open with..." preference had been changed to "Unarchiver" instead of "Installer." He changed it back to "Installer," et voila... fixed!

Help installing itunes Scripts?

hi all..
Can anyone help me installing itunes scripts to help with bulk duplicates removal?
Thanks,
Brook

hiya!
When i click on itunes to install it, it says that there is insufficient space in the system drive to install it. also says it requires 100gb to do it.
that's ultrakinky. itunes program file sizes total somewhere in the tens of megabytes ranges.
let's try getting a installer log to the Discussions Hosts, so they can throw it over the fence so an Apple engineer can have a look at it.
Start menu -> Run... In the text field of the dialog that comes up, type in "cmd" and hit return.
In the command prompt dialog that comes up, find the iTunes installer on your desktop and drag it to this window. Then on the same line type in a space and then the following:
/Verbose"c:\log.txt" /V"ENABLE_QTLOGGING=TRUE"
There is no space between the e in Verbose and the double quote ("). There is no space between the V"Enable...
Hit return.
The installer will create two log files:
C:\log.txt and C:\qt.log
Find those files and send them to a Discussions Host Put the URL to this discussion thread into the email, so that whoever gets it has some context. Let them know the version of itunes you’re trying to install, too … in general, give as much info as you can.

Help installing iTunes please

I just got an iPod nano and am trying to install iTunes from the CD that came with it. It installs almost all of the way until it starts doing things with the registry, then it stops and I get this message:
Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.cdda\OpenWithProgids. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
After I click ok it then starts to rollback the installation and then I get a window that says feature transfer error and
Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation. Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information.
I am not sure what to do; I tried deleting the contents of my TEMP folder, installing the new InstallShield engine ikernel thing, disabling my anti-virus software, uninstalling old versions of quicktime, and I verified that I have administrative privleges. If someone can help me I would be very greatful, I really want to use my nano but I need iTunes to put music on it.

HELP installing itunes 7

I recently got a 30 gb ipod, and i cant install itunes 7. I originally tried installing it at first, and it said cannot remove older applications of Apple Software Update. So i installed itunes 4 to put music on my ipod. Then i tried again to install itunes 7 and i keep getting the same error message. Anyone else having this problem? Can anyone give me some suggestions please?

It means that you probably have a remnant of a previous version of Quicktime on your system which is interferring with your new install. Go to this article for instructions on how to remove all trace of iTunes and Quicktime from your system:

Download the iTunes installer from:

Save it on your PC before attempting to install it.

If you prefer you can paste an image of the error into you post.

Help installing itunes on laptop with Windows Vista.

I have a laptop with Windows Vista. I've tried to download iTunes but I keep getting a message that says "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for his install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personel or package vendor." I read a thread that suggested removing all Apple components then restarting. I was unable to remove Apple Software Update. All other components were removed fine. Someone please help. Thanks.

Need help installing iTunes 6.0, please help!

When I'm downloading iTunes 6.0, it says to launch iTunes Setup Assistant. No one will help me, everyone answers other people's posts. Where is the iTunes Setup Assistant? This would help me so much, thanks for your time.

when you download the upgrade it will ask you where you want to put it. Select desktop which will cause the itunes setup icon to appear on your desktop. Double click it and it should install into your original itunes folders

Help installing iTunes 9.2?

Hope somebody can help.
I cannot seem to get iTunes 9.2 to install.
This past Friday I bought an iPhone 4 (have had a first generation one for the past few years). Discovered on getting home that I needed to update OS 10.4.11 on my MacBook to 10.6.
Saturday I had the RAM bumped up to 1.25, then bought the disk for Snow Leopard.
This morning I installed 10.6 and all seemed fine. Had updated iTunes to 9.2 sometime last week in anticipation of getting the iPhone. Plugged in my iPhone, and iTunes would not recognize it.
I looked here on the forums and on the support documents and deleted two AMDS files along with iTunes, then restarted my computer and emptied the trash. Then I downloaded a fresh copy of iTunes 9.2 and tried to install it, but when I doubleclick on the .dmg file, nothing happens.
Sure hope someone has an idea what might be going on - or not going on, as the case may be. I have lathered, rinsed, and repeated this whole routine most of this afternoon and it's just not installing.
Help, please!
Thanks.

Desperate....need help installing iTunes

I have been trying for days to get iTunes installed on my computer and I am about to give up! Please help me!!
I was Windows XP, Norton Anti Virus, and XoftSpy. Currently, I can see the iTunes and Quick Time on my desktop. QuickTime will open. When I click iTunes, it shows an hour glass for 5 seconds and that's it.
I have tried disabling everything and it hasn't worked.I have installed for the CD and the internet, that does work either. I have checked for window updates. I installed all of the, and that didn't work. I just installed EWIDO and it running now. I have wen to run:misconfig..that didn't work.
I know that this doesn't have to be this complicated!!!!! Please help me!
Jul
Windows XP

I posted on this thread earlier and my sister-in-law got my through it. Maybe this will work for Jul.
The problem was with Norton in my case.
This is what I did:
Opened Norton Internet Security
Clicked on Personal Firewall
Clicked on Configure
Clicked on Programs tab
Changed iTunes to Permit All (it was on Automatic)
Added iTuneshelper.exe with Permit All
Changed QuickTime to Permit All (also was on Automatic)Added QTInfo.exe with Permit All
Added QTTask.exe with Permit All
I'm not sure if you must do all of those steps, but it worked perfectly for me after doing them!
