I-tunes will not install on 64bit Windows 7

I've spend days literally trying to get I-tunes installed on my HP Pavilion dm4 running Windows 7 Professional. Original problem was the installer wanted to install on the F drive which I don't have. I spent 3 hours with Apple support and 2 more hours with HP support, with no luck. I found a post by b noir dated June 1 about renaming a drive to the one it wants to install. That worked, but now I get a message during the install "There is a problem with this window installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.. contact your support personnel" I found another post that said to right click the program and run as administrator... No luck. This seems to be an issue since June, maybe I've just missed a post on how to fix... Please help.. I'm a dye-hard fan of i-tunes and my Iphone. (FYI-it's a new notebook and I just went back to the old one to update my phone but it's a dying machine I need to toss out.)

A bit off-topic, but that Admin View looks difficult to use. I use this one instead
Rats. THAT stupid message, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package." There used to be a handy utility from microsoft to get rid of those errors. Microsoft has pulled it, though. Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. If you can find a valid copy, you'd have this fixed in minutes. But I digress.
The problem is certainly with Apple Software Update. Perhaps I misunderstood, I didn't think you were updating from within itunes? I thought you said you DL'd the iTunesSetup64.exe, right?
In Windows Explorer, do you see that file mentioned in the error message?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Apple Software Update\SoftwareUpdate.exe
Can you uninstall Apple Software Update from Control Panel > Programs & Features?

    itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

    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
    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.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Itunes 10.5 will not install for 64bit

    Going to install Itunes 10.5 for windows, it's great until it tries to install something into a folder called "iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources". It says I do not "permission" to acces this folder, therefore Itunes will not install onto my computer. I have tried owning the folder but it again says I do not have permission to take this action. Any ideas?

    infofablok,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:

    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on. If it does not help make sure to post any errors given by the doctor. Additionally how is the printer connected to the PC (USB/Network Cable/Wireless/Etc)? Is this our first install of the printer and was it working previously for any other functions?
    Best of Luck!

  • ITunes will not install on my windows vista operated laptop

    ... I know this is not a new question, and I have tried just about everything that was suggested before.  I removed iTunes and Quicktime and all programs related to them and reinstalled iTunes. However, it still will not open; I get a message indicating that the Data Execution Prevention program has closed it down.
    I tried to bypass the DEP, following the instructions provided, by manually exempting iTunes from it.  However, I received a message that this program could not be exempted.  The DEP setting was set so that only Windows System 32 programs would be governed by it.  But this did not work either.
    Finally, I set things up so that iTunes would run only via an adminstrator account, but this too did not work.
    I should note that iTunes worked fine on my laptop until several weeks ago, when Microsoft pushed some windows updates.  (I have Windows Vista Service Pack 2 operating now, but don't know what it is or its significance to this problem.)
    So, I think I have exhausted the troubleshooting options I have seen.  ... Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    I reinstall Quicktime and it would not launch and gave me the same error messages.
    We'd better check to see if some other application has stashed old versions of QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • ITunes will not install on my Windows 8 laptop

    I have a laptop with Windows 8.1 on it.  I have tried installing iTunes a bunch of times (with different browers) and have also tried to follow the instructions that Apple usually posts in response to these complaints...but no luck.  It looks like it starts to install and then it stops and gives me an error that it cannot complete the installation.  I have no idea what is going on and I am getting very frustrated.  Please help!

    Although you're getting a different error message, try the procedure from the following user tip with that one:

  • I tunes will not install due to quicktime

    hello, I have an older pc and everytime I go to install Itunes, it goes through the whole process and at the very end says it cannot install because quicktime is not installed correctly and gives me some error message. I have never had itunes on this pc because of that. Is there a download that just has itunes and not the stupid quicktime which I don't give a crap about anyway?
    Thanks
    Cliff ([email protected])

    You need the QuickTime. It provides all the audio and video playback capabilities for iTunes. (Conceptually, you don't go too far wrong thinking of iTunes as a gigantic QuickTime plugin.)
    it goes through the whole process and at the very end says it cannot install because quicktime is not installed correctly and gives me some error message.
    What's the precise text of that error message, Cliff? That would give us the best possible heads up on what is actually going wrong with the install.

  • IPod will not install drivers on Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on 2 computers. One computer connects to my 60GB iPod video just fine, while the other looks for drivers and then fails to find any. I get a window that pops up saying "Insert the disc that came with your iPod" after Windows searches for drivers. Because of this, the iPod does not appear in iTunes, nor does it appear in My Computer. I have tried performing a soft reset on the iPod (Menu/Center combo) which did not work. I have also tried reinstalling iTunes to no avail. This is a brand new Windows installation and I just can't figure out why it won't work. iTunes seems to work just fine in all other respects.
    I have also followed the steps in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    Thanks,

    Scroll down to the quote from WickedMX.
    Basically, C:\Windows\System32\Driverstore\Repository and look for a folder that starts with usbstor. You will probably have two different versions. Open the folder that is the newest version and then copy the files usbstor.inf and usbstor.PNF. Copy them to the C:\Windows\INF folder. Try installing your device(s) again and it should work like a charm!

  • Itunes will not install on my windows 7 64 bit,

    I have tried for the past week to install itune on my computer with windows 7 64bit, it downloads starts to install then stops and finished without installing.
    Done anyone have a fix for this?

    Crikey.
    These ones are tricky. But the following instructions are worth a try.
    First do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related components (but don't reinstall just yet), as per the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    a. Launch regedit (Start >> Search Programs and Files >> type Regedit and open the regedit that comes up.)
    b. Access the following Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components
    c. Perform the following actions
    i. Right Click on Components Folder
    ii. Select Permissions
    iii. Select Full Control and Read Permissions options
    iv. Select Advanced Button
    v. Select Owner Tab
    vi. Select to Change Owner to the Administrators
    vii. Check the option “Replace owner on subcontainers and objects”
    viii. Select OK when prompted that it may not change all.
    ix. Select Apply
    x. Select Apply again
    xi. Exit the Registry Editor
    Now try reinstalling iTunes again. Does it go in properly this time?

  • I-tunes will not install. even after i used all of the help offers.

    Okay so, My computer has JUST recovered from a huge virus that decided to completely demolish everything but the computer was still able to be fixed. So i reinstalled windows and most of my drivers. Now i am trying to install I-tunes and it keeps giving me the message: An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publickeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",Version=8.0. 50727.762",processorArchitecture="x86"'.Please refer to Help and Support For more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424.
    so if anyone has ANY idea what that means i would love for you to tell me cause its starting to anger me tremendously.

    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publickeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b"

    .Please refer to Help and Support For more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424.
    Not the most common of iTunes installation error messages. That one often seems to be a side effect of the same problem that causes error 8007000b when you try to install Windows Vista updates.
    To doublecheck, try getting some Windows Updates. If they error out with an 8007000b, try the following Microsoft troubleshooting document:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-error-8007000b
    If that fixes your 8007000b, does your iTunes installation also go through properly afterwards?

  • Flash 10. will not install on my Windows 7 Professional machine (64 bit)

    II cannot install Flash 10.* on my Windows 7 Professional machine (64 bit). I have uninstalled whatever remnants of an earlier version might have been on the machine. I have tried using various browsers for the installation (Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). I have tried using “Square” as part of the installation. And I have tried “Manual”.
    Any suggestions?

    What do you mean by "cannot install"? Does the installer give you any indication that says your computer is not supported?
