No worries! You described the problem and resolution well, so your topic is going to be useful for other folks with the same issue.

I cannot install itunes on my windows vista

I try to install itunes on my windows vista, it gives me a error

"iTunesSetup.exe não é um aplicativo Win32 válido"
That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
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?

CAN'T INSTALL ITUNES 9 ON WINDOWS VISTA 64-BIT OS

Hey guys!
I'm having a reaaaallly hard time installing iTunes on my Windows Vista 64-bit OS. Everytime I think it's about to finish installing, it shows me this message:
What does it mean?? Can someone PLEASE help me, I haven't had music on my iPhone for 4 weeks now!

Curses ... you did everything right by providing the screenshot, thanks. But we really need to see the error message number that shows up after the "HRESULT" bit for one of those, and it's deciding not show us that.
Okay ... people who get these error messages for iTunes installs typically are also getting Windows updates failures too. So we'll try to work out what the iTunes/Updates issue is by checking your Update history.
Go into your Windows Update and click "Update History". Have updates been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on each failure to bring up a small window showing some info about the failure.
What error message codes are you getting for the Windows Updates failures? (For example, 0x8007000B, or something else?)

I cant install Itunes on my windows 8 laptop. (unspecified errors encountered)

I have tried to install Itunes and Icloud on my windows 8 laptop. I have hunted all through the laptop and see no sign that any apple product has ever been on this laptop, yet iget errors during the install process that causes the installer to abort the install and go right to finish. I have tried to install Itunes repeatedly and it always fails at the same point. Icloud also fails to install. I get a message that says errors have been encountered, but no indication of what those errors are. can anyone suggest a fix for this? or tell me what it is I am doing wrong?

Having A REALLY hard time installing itunes on my Window 7 laptop

Alrite so this is like day 2 for trying to download itunes on my window 7 laptop!
I click run and yes to everything and then when the whole itunes+quicktime pops up to download its gets all the way to the point where it says "Publishing product information," it seems to freeze close to the end of the bar and it takes several minutes and then
"An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft. VC80, version="8.0.50727.4053" ,type="win32" ,publicKeyToken= "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b" ,process or Architecture="x86"" .Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD." Pops up
Please Help Me With This!
Thank you!

HRESULT: 0x800736FD
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 a different error code? If they're different, what codes are you getting in Windows Update?

Windows installer won't install iTunes 10.5 Windows Vista 64

Can't install iTunes 10.5 on my operating system. I'm running windows vista home premium 64.
Every time I try, a window installer alert pops up. It says; 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. I recently had to reinstall my operating system
Using my recovery discs. I got all my updates including service pack 2, but I noticed some updates did not install.
Could that be the issue ? Can anyone help ? Thanks Sam

Repair your Apple Software Update:
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install

Installing itunes 10 on windows vista home premium

I know this may have been covered here but i need to know how to change the permissions on the admin account on my computer so i can install system services like bonjour. Ive tried to install itunes 10 multiple times and it keeps coming up with "the service failed to start. verify you have sufficient priveleges to install system services." I thought i did being logged in on as admin....
btw im not tech head so explanations keep them simple!
this is giving me so much headache!!! i just want to upgrade the itunes it shouldnt be this hard..

Ive tried to install itunes 10 multiple times and it keeps coming up with "the service failed to start. verify you have sufficient priveleges to install system services."
We can sometimes get past that one by disabling the BonJour Service prior to an iTunes install.
In your Start Menu, right-click "Computer" and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications"
Open "Services". Maximise the window to better see what's going on.
Right-click on the BonJour Service and select "Properties".
In the "General" Tab, change the Startup type to "Disabled" and click OK.
Restart the PC (very important).
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through any better this time?

Problems Installing iTunes 10 with Windows Vista

I am running Windows Vista (32 bit) and have installed iTunes 10. Any time I try to launch iTunes I receive the following message: "iTunes needs to be repaired to work with Vista. Use the 'Programs and Features' control panel to repair iTunes."
The bigger problem is when I open the Programs and Features control panel, iTunes is not listed as a program. All of the other iTunes components are listed(Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour). However, I can see iTunes (version 10) in the C:>Programs Files>iTunes folder, just not in the control panel.
I was going to attempt to uninstall and reinstall as numerous posts have suggested, however, since the program does not appear in the control panel, I have not been able to uninstall it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Error while installing itunes software on windows vista 32 bit operating system.

Hi friends,I am getting an itune installation error,Microsoft.VC80.CRT.version=8.0.50727.4053,The operating system in windows vista,i donwloaded itunes with IE as well as firefox,but always same error message is coming.Please help me out with this error.

I browsed this page earlier, and now im back to explain how i fixed my problem which is similar to yours.
All of the below must be followed manually: (that windows msgbox error is just confusing you) be reminded that:
%appdata% is not a network location. It is a systemwide variable used by Windows OS. %appdata% is a directory on your computer
I have win 7 OS, and i tweaked the below values so the Nokia_PC_Suite will install:
follow ALL of the following one by one:
-----first, the package----
first, go to the file which you downloaded from the net, (usually: Nokia_PC_Suite_eng_web.exe) right click the file and click properties, then click the compatibility tab and tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" then (select your OS on drop down box) then also click the lowermost button, "Run this program as administrator" then click OK. and close the properties box.
----second, the registry----(carefull a little mistake will render your machine unusable, so don't mess inside registry)
enter your registry by >> Start > Run > "type" regedit (without the word type) expand the following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders, (on the right pane) you will see AppData, double click AppData and change the value to: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming
do the above to below location also: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
----third, Windows environment variables----
in your windows, right click the "My Computer", then click "Properties" then click the Advanced tab, on the lowermost of the window click the button [Environment Variables], click edit and change the value of "Temp" to variable value: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.
Now double click (re-install) the Nokia package which you have downloaded from Nokia website and i hope it will install flawlessly this time
