I received an update yesterday from Itunes. It downloaded. Now I get "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.

Then I got this message "Itunes not installed correctly please reinstall Itunes, Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I have tried re-downloading Itunes but I keep getting the same message. I don't know what else to try? I've ran Microsoft security Essentials to no avail. Also tried my resident troubleshooting programs & they found nothing wrong. Oh I forgot to mention that yesterday Dropbox was installed on my computer & today I received a security notice from my computer to get rid of Dropbox. I then noticed that I had no sound, That is what started me trying to open Itunes when I received all the problems. I deleated Dropbox & the sound returned but the problem with Itunes is still here! I hope I haven't lost hundreds of hours of music. Please any help would be appreciated.

I have the exact same problem.
I have uninstalled the program, rebooted and downloaded the update again. Same problem, same message.
Please, where is that missing MSVCR80.dll? I don't remember misplacing it.
I'm a Windows 7 user.

TS5376 I am still getting "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 126)" despite following all of Apples guidance to resolve?

Am I able to find a previous working version of ITunes to install?

Doublechecking. Have you also tried the following user tip?
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

TS5376 For "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer", I followed the steps and there is no C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files..Also, after the update, I no longer show my disk drive when I load a CD.

After downloading the new Itunes update, my compter now shows error: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer". I follwed the Apple fix / steps but it did not correct it. Also, after the update my disk drive is not recognized on my computer. If I load a CD, I cannot even access it.

See also Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes (similar to the advice above) 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. E.g. TS2308: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80

Hi, I updated my version of iTunes and now get the error "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer".

Hi, I hope some one can help as I updated my version of iTunes and now get the error "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer". I understand that I need to delete and reinstall iTunes but all of my music has been uploaded from CD's and I'd like to know if these are safe if I delete iTunes of if they too will be deleted. I have over 1300 songs so this is a big question for me. Many thanks.

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)
First try updating to iTunes 11.1.5.5, using an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you still get the errors after that, try the following user tip:

I ran an iTunes update. It failed with the message System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. I tried reinstalling but get the same message.

I ran an iTunes update. It failed with the message "System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I tried reinstalling but get the same message. I looked in my Recycle Bin for that file name but there is none there. Is this a new file that iTunes wants?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I researched the advice on the link provided by b noir as well as very similar advice from apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. It worked for me (for now).
Some things of note:
I did all of the things requested by the link I provided
My computer WOULD NOT uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. I had to manually remove the folder (also as instructed by the url)
I also uninstalled MobileMe. Was a little different than removing the other apps. Follow instructs provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2992
I did not uninstall iCloud
I have to admit it was a bit scary removing all those things. Is important to note that when re-installing Apple, follow steps to do so as Administrator (the right-click thingy and whatnot).
Hope this helps!

I keep getting this error message when i try to install the latest version of itunes, the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem??

I am having trouble reinstalling my Itunes on my desktop which uses Windows 7 and I can download it but once it's complete i keep getting this error message...The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Please help me.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

My Itunes won't open. When I click on it I get error message: The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.

The first error message is: itunes.exe-System Error: the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.
The second error message says: itunes: itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes Error 7 (Windows error 126)
I have reinstalled several times and the same thing keeps happening. Does anyone know what to do?

Ralph, both links you've posted point to the same place!
Ah, I see the second one is meant to lead to Tony's tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6571
That one applies for certain launch errors that can occur when iTunes has otherwise installed successfully. I've addressed the same issue in the first box of my tip.
What would be interesting to know is if Aswim does indeed have QTMovieWin.dll in their Program Files\iTunes folder, and if removing it allows iTunes to launch? It would seem that different error messages may be thrown up by different versions of the file on different versions of the OS. Perhaps many more people have been doing a complete rebuild than needed to.

All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
and
2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
Thanks
