I can't install itunes it says my windows installer won't work

I am trying to download the newest version of itunes and it says it can't finish download cuz windows installer won't work. Help

When your username includes a Charakter like "acson te graf" zhere is a Problem for Windows to find your installiert-Files. Yust Build another Username like "Dummy", give admistration rights, change to this user and install iTunes on this accout. Now you can Return to your Old account an use iTunes.
I am still surching how to change the username in Windows but still no idea.

Can't install itunes 10.3.1.55, installer won't run

I have been able to download the installer program, but when I run the installer nothing happens except for a brief appearance of a loading bar on the screen, which soon vanishes. No error messages, it just won't run.
I have tried right click and run as administrator - same problem. I have tried uninstalling itunes and quicktime, made no difference. I have restarted, I have removed all temp files and old versions of the installer. Tried redownloading the installer. Still nothing.
So now I have no itunes, but a new ipad enroute that I won't be able to sync argh!
Running windows vista 64bit (yes I am using the 64 bit installer program) on an HP laptop.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Well as I mentioned earlier I had alreayd tried the uninstalling (as per the apple support website).
I went through trying to change the permissions - which seemed a little confusing as although I am the only use of the computer there were about 5 options - but I picked the one that was the same as my user name. Changed most of the permissions for program files and program files (x86) (some of them it wouldn't allow me to change "access denied"), restarted and tried to install again. Same thing happened as before - nothing.
I have never received the error message that was mentioned in that thread.
edit: I don't have anyone I can get the itunes files off at the moment, so I haven't tried transferring them from another computer.

Can't install itunes on my 64bit windows 7 laptop

Can't install itunes on my 64bit windows 7 laptop. Says there was a problem with the windows installer package and a program required for this install to complete could not be run..
I have uninstalled and re-installed several times now already using the add/ remove programs under control panel..

Let's try the following user tip with that one:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows

Each time I try to install itunes I get a windows installer message telling me that the installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it???????????

Each time I try to install itunes I get a windows installer message telling me that the 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.....

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Hi bhaity2014,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are concerned that your iPhone 4 running iOS 7 may not be recognized in iTunes 12. Your iPhone 4 running iOS 7 should have no issues being recognized or syncing with iTunes 12. If it is not recognized in iTunes on your Windows computer, please use the attached article for troubleshooting assistance.

Can't install itunes 10.4 on Windows 7 home premium

I am not highly technical, so please bear with me:
After repeatedly being unable to update itunes 10.2, I thought I should just uninstall it and install itunes 10.4. Wow, what a mistake. After many hours I now can't run my MS Office programs AND I can't load or run itunes.
Originally, while trying to update itunes, I kept getting the message "errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose tools > download only and try installing manually." This confused me as I could not find "tools."
After some reading online, I decided what I should do is download the Windows Installer clean up tool. Apparently this was the BIG mistake. I selected Apple items to remove with msicuu.exe, only to find that now my MS Office 2010 programs no longer run ("Microsoft Office not installed for this user"), and I still can't install itunes.
I tried installing itunes 10.2 and got a message that I must install a 32-bit version of itunes.
I used the cleanup tool once again and tried to install itunes 10.4, and got the message: could not open key: UNKNOWN\components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\6A262021B4A79884EA585F5E86D 86338. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.
Now when I try to run MS Office software, getting message "Preparing to install", then, Configuring Microsoft Office Professional Plus, then something about the program not being installed for this user (I'm the only user).
I realize that this board probably can't help me with MS Office software, but can you help me with itunes?

I can not install itunes for my original windows 7 32 bit on my computer

i cannot install itunes for my original windows 7 32 bit on my computer

What happens when try to install iTunes? Error messages?
You might have better luck posting in the iTunes forum since you do not hav an iPod touch problem.

My computer froze and I had no choice but to turn it off. When I turned it back on, it would no longer open iTunes. It says "error 7 (windows error 14001). iTunes said to uninstall and then reinstall iTunes. Windows installer won't work.

My computer froze, so I had to finally turn it off. When I turned it on again, it wouldn't open iTunes. Error7 (Windows error 14001) appeared. I could not uninstall and reinstall iTunes because now Windows Installer isn't working either. Tried using "System Restore" from a backup, but still didn't fix problem. Tried online purchase of registry cleanup ("Error End"), but that didn't solve problem either.
How can I get iTunes to open? Any suggestions for getting Windows Installer to work? Thanks!

Can't Install iTunes on my pc windows 7

I'm having trouble installing iTunes on my Windows 7 64-bit. I keep getting this error message everytime I runthe installer file.
Can someone please help me? It's becoming really frustrating.
And it's not a problem from my pc. It's brand new.

For installation program, you are not supposed to copy files over from another system like that. All installation must go through normal installation files on yor system which will update your system registry. Otherwise, it won't work. Now your system is all messed up.
Guess you have to do Uninstall and Re-install of iTunes from scratch.
Try the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
***follow strictly to article HT1923 to remove all traces of Apple Programs*****
3. Go to this link to download Revo-Uninstaller. Run it to clean up last traces of Apple software on your system and registry.
http://download.cnet.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html?tag=mncol;1
4. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch
Followed all your instructions thoroughly, still same result
Also the last three software components kept coming back even though I've uninstalled them many times

Can't install iTunes 64 bit on windows 7

I reccently attempted to update itunes on both my computers on my Desktop it was done in 10 mins however on my laptop it first gave a intall error 7 and then I searched online for a fix and saw how uninstall all apple components worked for some people and decided to give it a try. Now when I attempt a clean install of itunes i get two errors sometimes it is apple mobile device failed to start and I attempt to start it manually with no sucess and I get an error to verify that I still have acess to a folder, which I have and I have attempted to install itunes now for nearly a week and all my music is on my laptop and documents and my laptop is a 64 bit windows 7 OS so pls help

Many thanks.
I think you've got two different types of problem going on at once here. Let's try clearing this second error out of the way first.
the second is "Error writing to file: C:\ Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Webkit.resources\inspector\Images\timelinePillGreen.png. Verify that you still have acess to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through without that particular error message afterwards? (Whether this works or not, we still might have to deal with the system services message.)

I can't install itunes 10.7 on windows. Schema.strings error message

I cannot install itunes 10.7. All I get is an error message which reads
Error writing to file: C:\Programme Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Schemas\Bookmarks.synchschema\Contents\Resources\fi.lproj\ Schema.strings Verify you have access to that directory.
The schema.strings file is in the location required but I still can't install.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors

Can't install iTunes 7.5 on Window XPP

When I run the iTunes installer it goes through the runs and just disappears about 1 min into the install. I was getting error 1704 before, but not now. It just disappears on me. Got a new iPhone and cant even upload my content to it. Any help is appreciated.

I have a similar problem on my system. I am running XP Pro SP2. I was able to install Itunes 7.0x, but since then no other upgrades have been possible. I download then during the install the computer simply crashes. Screen goes black and the computer restarts..and itunes has not been upgraded. I have uninstalled everything I can find that is associated with QT and Itunes, and still no success. I followed the Apple General Install and Troubleshooting guide....but still no luck.
