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.
Windows XP Pro

Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or Quicktime For Windows

Error won't let me install iTunes - please help !

When I have tried to download the latest version of iTunes so that I can update my iPhone the software won't install correctly. I even un-installed iTunes and tried from scratch.
I get so far then get the error message "Could not write value to key \software\classics\itunes.m4r verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnal".
I'm using Vista and had turned off the spyware software and have administration rights.
Can anyone help please, at the moment I have no iTunes !!!!
Thanks

Could you confirm the full error message and is it identical when you try to install and uninstall?
These permission issues can be tricky.
To start you need to download the iTunes installer from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And save it on your PC. ( You may already have done that.)
Try running it with "Run as Administrator". (You can access this by right clicking on the installer.
You can also try running the installer from another administration account.
Failing that, find the key mentioned in the error message using Regedit. I assume it is HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\iTunes.m4r
Right click on it an select permission then advanced. Apart from some other permissions, you should have Administrators and SYSTEM with full control, inherited from ...software\classes and it should apply to this key and sub-keys.
Is that what you have?

Can anyone help me at all?

Hi Fariha I have the exact opposite of what you are experiencing.Mine is in a stopped state and refuses to start. lol. Its in the link below.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1892032&tstart=0
I might be able to piggy back on your thread. First of all have you triedd stopping the service though task manager? Do that and see if there is an error message. I hope someone can suggest a registry hack that may solve this IPOD service issue.

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?)

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:

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.

Download the iTunes installer from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save it on your PC before attempting to install it.
Put the full text of any error message in your next post including error numbers.
If you prefer you can paste an image of the error into you post.
Press alt prtscrn while the focus is in the error message, then use the little camera at the top of the forum editor to insert the image. (I hope alt prtscrn works in XP, I can't test it myself).

Error While Installing Itunes (Please help)

Alright, just went on apple.com, installed the newest itunes, and downloaded the setup, started the installation, and it stops at one part that says stopping services. Now i have no clue what that means or what its doing, but after about 10 minutes it pops up a message that says.

Now, ive retried it and it just does the same thing. Please someone tell me what to do. Ive completely cleared every single thing that had to do with itunes off my computer then redownloaded and installed it. Nothing works. I am on the admin account on my computer, and always will be, so nothing different there. I had itunes before, and it worked, but it stopped opening, like i could click it and it would act like its loading, then nothing would open. So i tried this today and this is what ive been getting for the past few hours. Please respond ASAP.

Use that MS installer cleanup to get rid of iTunes first, then QuickTime.
Actually, I should back up. Go to the article I link below, and scroll down to the section

Important: A majority of customers experience successful iTunes installation after completing these troubleshooting procedures. If one does not help, proceed to the next.
-Completely Remove iTunes and QuickTime (Click to show)

-Download QuickTime Standalone Installer (Click for more)
