I cannot update my iTunes with"error occurred while installing updates"

Ever since I updated my Windows Vista Laptop to Service Pack 2, iTunes has not been able to update with the a popup with "error occurred while installing updates. If the problems persist choose Tools > Download Only". And i DID have to Reinstall iTunes from scratch, so please help me. I really want to get rid of this problem thats been bothering me for 2 years
Thanks

I've got it to work. If that's the same error you received, then I have to assume you're using Windows 64-bit (as all the people I found with the same problem do). This was what worked for me, courtesy of Shiggity from sevenforums.com -
Go to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu", right-click "Programs" and select "Properties".
On the Security Tab, Click "Advanced".
Go to the Owner tab, and Click "Edit".
Change the owner to yourself, Check "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects", and Click OK.
And then re-run the installation. Hope that works!

Have a first gen iPad with 4.3 IOS. Can't download version 5.1 because iTunes 11.1 need to be downloaded. Cannot download version of iTunes. " errors occured while installing updates. if the problem persists choose tools>download only and try installing manually". This is as far as I can get. Can't find tools to manually download. When I try to reset to factory settings, I get an error also.

Error occured while installing updates for itunes 10.6.1

I have been having issues lately trying to install my updates to iTunes. I keep getting an error message that says "Error occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually." This happened on the last update as well, and the install manually didn't work. I eventually had to uninstall iTunes and reinstall the latest version. But, if I keep doing this, I have to re-add all of my music folders, and recreate all of my playlists for every single update that comes out. That means like once a week. Does anyone know why I keep getting this message?
I have submitted a screenshot if that helps.
Also, I am running windows 7 on my computer. Thank you

Hmmm. I was wondering if it was an issue with a broken setupadmin.exe mucking up the works (because it's a tiny little file). But it's apparently the itunes64.msi causing us grief.
Plausibly, we might be looking at a disk/file damage thing that is preventing the msis and so forth from saving correctly. If so, running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C:\ Drive might help.
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 properly afterwards?

I don't if you run Kaspersky or not, but thats what my problem was. I just simply turned off Kaspersky and it downloaded and updated with no problems. Hope this helps!

Trying to install software updates and I have received this message several times. Also can't install Adobe Flash update - a "general error" occurs. Suggestions?

Test after each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

I am trying to update from 10.2 to 10.5, and this message keeps appearing. It also appeared when I tried to update to 10.3: "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools Download Only and try installing manually"

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

Hey Debbiered1,
Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take care,
Delgadoh

More info needed
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is your iPod software version as shown on the iTunes Summary page?
Error 143x, normally caused by harddisk write timeout, probably due to
iPod Hardisk failing - Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic refer to this earlier tt2 post
Slow USB port, low datarate, due to sharing with other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices while Restoring or syncing. Dont use any USB hub and also use the USB port at the back of the PC. and not the front.
CPU Resource drained by other Apps like email, Antivirus, web broswer - Stop them, but if stopping Antivirus please disconnect the PC from the Inernet first.
Have a nice day!

When i attempt to update itunes i get error message, "errors occurred while installing the updates". What can i do to get the update?

I cannot download and install I-Tunes update. I get error message, "Errors occurred while installing the updates. Choose tools>Download Only". When I do this I get error message that says, "I Tunes has an invalid signature. The download has been removed." What can I do to get update?

Finally got a response from Apple. They suggested I uninstall Itunes, then download and install the latest version. Worked great and I was able to recover all of my purchases.
