Instaling iTunes on xp 64 bit

right im getting frustrated here. ive come across a way of installing iTunes on my XP 64 bit OS, but the only problem is i can only get my hands on version 8.0 i try to find version 8.2 or higher as my new iphone wont sync as the version is too old. so my question is where can i find version 8.2 or higher that is for vista 64 bit as i have to mess about with the files or something, whilst folling yukichigai.com's steps. as apple have just been too lazy to make there softwear compatible with xp 64 bit, and been too lazy to keep there vista 64 bit iTunes up to date with the 32 bit version, and failed to provide a link that is easily accessed for the relivent siftwear. if i looked i would probably find a post in this section on exactly my issue, but ive been trying to figure it out all evening and tbh im bored now, and plus theres so many posts it would take a little while finding it. if anyone could light my way i would greatly appreciate it. i thank you in advanced.

i maybe out of date, but i thort xp pro 64 bit was a more stable OS than Vista 64 bit, i tried Vista and i kept throwing problems my way so i went back to the older OS and at the time windows 7 wasnt out. like i said i got itunes to install but the version was too old for my iphone, so ive been trying to find at least version 8.2 which it states is required but none of them work, it seems its not for vista or any 64 bit at all, as it keeps saying i need xp service pack 2 or newer, well i have service pack 2 for my xp pro 64 bit. every download i try, it gives me the same results, and i wasnt asking if itunes ever supported xp pro 64 bit as it is obvious they havent, and i have read elsewhere that very same thing, im asking for help in solving my issue

Installing iTunes on Vista 64-bit

*Looking for 64-bit support from Apple*
I'm running the 64-bit version of Windows and was disappointed to find out that Apple does not support it (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301 ). I tried to install iTunes anyway and the installation failed. This forum didn't provide any initial solutions that I could find so now that I've figured it out I thought I would post a solution for those that come looking.
*How do I know if I have the 64-bit version of Vista?*
Press the windows key and the Pause/Break key at the same time (the pause/break key is normally in the upper right corner of the keyboard). On the window that appears look for the label "System Type." next to it you will see text indicating whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vista.
*What Will happen if I try to install Vista?*
You experience may varry, but when I tried the installation ran for a while and ended with a message saying Quicktime could not be installed. I checked the Programs menu and iTunes was not listed after this failure.
*How do I successfully install iTunes on a 64-bit edition of Vista?*
When you download iTunes select the option to save the installation instead of running it immediatly. After the download completes right-click on the installation and select properties. Under the "Compatibility" tab check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for." Ensure that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected. Also check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator." Click on okay and the install iTunes.
*Will this also work for XP 64-bit edition?*
I don't know.
*I've successfully installed iTunes on my 64-bit machine. Can I use it to activate my iPhone?*
No.
If you try to activate your iPhone you will receive a message saying "Please connect iPhone to a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows XP (SP2) or Windows Vista."
*What happens if I set iTunes to run in Compatibility mode*
iTunes will detect that it is running in a compatibility mode and suggest that you turn the mode off and restart iTunes. Since it recognizes that it is running on a 64-bit machine it will still refuse to activate an iPhone. Bummer.
*If I activate my iPhone on another machine then can i transfer content to it on Vista 64-bit edition?*
Nope. iTunes will instruct you to connect the phone to a 32-bit machine.

Yes the forum has been misbehaving recently hence my double post. Ther should be an edit button, but it is only present for a few minute.
The error you are getting has certainly been associated with a failure of Windows updates, but I don't know if the one you mention is an issue.
The microsoft link to the update problem is;
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/ca7d15d7-8ee3-4993-bd01-753d adc904121033.mspx
That's about as far as I can go with this I am afraid.

Can't install itunes on windows 64 bit system

I tried to install itunes on my 64 bit machine, but with verson 6.0.5, it says this software doesnt support 64 bit systems. I tried to install an earlier version i think its 6.0.4.2 not sure, but it does install on my computer. When I try to open the program and quicktime, I get error box saying the program had a problem and couldn't open. Is there anyway to fix this problem, and is there a way to have the newest version of itunes to work on windows 64 bit?
Windows XP Pro

iTunes and QuickTime have never been supported on the 64-bit version of Windows (look here for the official statement). Some people have managed to get it working (at least tolerably), but from what I've read, a recent update from Microsoft has caused a lot of problems. You might try rolling back recent Windows updates and see if you can get things working again.

I've been having the same issue for the past few months. Try this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
go through each step of the general installation troubleshooting completely then restart your computer and try to install it again. It worked for me on the first try so hopefully this helps!

I cannot install iTunes 10.2 64 bit on Windows 7 Home Premium

I'm able to download the iTunes 10.2 64 bit program without any issue. However, when I try to intall the program Windows installer issues error message: "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 have tried to open 'itunes64bit.exe' as the Administrator but this still doesn't work!
I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7.
One member had a solution whereby they downloaded a program from Orca to increase Windows Installer’s capability and another to help install iTunes.
The problem is that Windows Installer will not install these downloaded programs either!
I’ve followed tech advice to change the Windows Installer setting from ‘Service Status’ stopped to ‘Service Status’ started and applied/ok’d changes. However, as soon as I try to install a non-windows program it automatically defaults to the ‘stopped’ setting and issues the error message about not being able to verify the package being installed.
I followed the steps to unregister and reregister Windows Installer too, also to no avail.
You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator.

Hi Lee,
"You’re probably thinking this sounds like an administrator issue. However, I’m the only user and Windows 7 is registered to me – which should make me the only administrator."
You are correct but to a point. I thought so too, however, like you, I am "second in command"...under myself.
I was in the same situation and tried others' successful workarounds. Nope. Actually, an ongoing frustration for a few months to no avail...until I came across this link, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-windows_programs/ this-installation-package-could-not-be-opened/40c3cf33-b155-4dc7-b21e-ca5acce105 f3. It shows you how to access the Administrator login, literally. It worked for me.
This is from a Microsoft support page (SJ has probably been alerted, so I don't have much time, LOL). I did not want to hit that "final" option and reinstall Win 7. The first time was trying enough and I was about to give in.
" I’ve scanned a Microsoft forum for iTunes download/installation problems. Most answers on the forum refer to a system32 error appearing when they attempt to install itunes64bit.exe on Vista or Windows 7."
I was opposite on this one. What led me to think it wasn't the above was seeing this user " ` " , also known as Accent grave. The Users first file is labeled " ` " and has a little gold lock on it. When I scanned Task Manager, under Processes Tab, the User Name column showed " ` " attached to certain processes. I knew it was me, but did not realize it was the Alpha me
I cannot say if the system automatically did this or I or Alpha (I'm blaming Alpha). If there is a way to change this I do not know, and if I should. Either way, I will do some more research and pray another personality isn't isn't lurking about
Hope this helps you.

Try to install iTunes on Vista 64 bit on a clean install but it refuses to install

I download the 64 bit version for install on my PC, but during install i noticed it was being installed to Program files (x86) which confused me. so I changed it to Program files in the setup preferences and proceeded to install. It gets half way through installing and gives up. Am I to guess that iTunes 64 is not really 64 bit at all but a psuedo to give it that impression. If it is going to install into a 32 bit directory then I have no recourse but to assume the latter.
Any ideas how I can get this to install on my Windows Vista 64 bit. Either way it comes up with scripting errors every time I try now. What is needed is an apple cleaner to get rid of elements of the old installs hidden in places like Appdata and the registry as well as hidden MSI scripts which stop subsequent installs.

An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32="8.0.50727.6195".publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a 1e 18e 3b".processorArchitechture="x86'''.Please refer to help and support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054f.
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 8007054F, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

After following instructions for three different solutions that did NOT work; I found the solution that did work
on the support site for Syamntec.
Readers - Please, you must be VERY familiar with pc jargon and windows vernacular to accomplish the reset
of ALL the permissions in your registry.
Follow the ditrections below and pay attention to the notes for those running 64bit Win7.
Step one, back up the registry.
Step two, go to the MS KB: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf -ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en and download the file that installs subinacl. It is an MSI file, and will do a quick install of a few Microsoft files. Hint: Look in the folder listed below, "subinacle.exe" may already be there.
Step three, create a batch file (subinacle.bat) with the following commands: (Use Notepad - copy & paste, not the red stuff)
cd /d "Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (only for 32bit/x86 machines)
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose
For 64bit machines substitute for first line of bat file:
cd /d "c:\program files (x86)\windows resource kits\tools"
Step four, run the batch file. Let it run until the Command Prompt screen closes, may take 30 minutes or more.
Step five, reboot the machine and run the install again.
Ladies and Gentlemen; this worked for me and allowed immediate installation of two application packages I had been trying for three months! (Including ITunes 10.5)

Installing iTunes on Windows 64 bit XP

Where can I find the installation file for iTunes, that can be installed on Window XP, 64-bit? The file I downloaded from itune.apple.com gives me an error stating "This iTunes installer requites Windows Vista 64-bit edition."

I'm sorry you are having problems with iTunes.
It is best to reach out to Apple http://bit.ly/OBKBjr to get additional information on that product.
Thanks!

Installing iTunes 7.6 64-bit

I have Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, i cracked the installer for iTunes 7.6 (64-Bit for Vista) so it would stop checking for Vista and then it let me install in on XP, as the only item in that installer that is Vista Specific is the CD burning drivers, the rest is fine in XP.
After installing, when i launch iTunes it tells me i don’t have QuickTime installed. this is because quicktime is in “C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime” and iTunes thinks it should be in “C:\Program Files\QuickTime”. Program files (x86) is the folder for 32-bit emulation, and i cannot install Quicktime in the regular Program Files because its not a 64-bit program.
Apparently in Vista 64-bit versions you can link the 2 locations but that doesn’t work in XP, or at least its a different command prompt command.
Can anyone help?

I am a Mac advocate but have to use Windows and currently uses Windows XP Pro 64Bit (SP2) and I have the same issue I have found several websites on how to work around iTunes's problem to get it to work but what I am looking for is a way to request Apple to include the 64-Bit drivers and modify the install to recongize Windows XP Pro 64-Bit as a valid OS. This is all the work arounds are doing in the first place. I DON'T want to got Vista x64 to get a supported configuration of iTunes. You have 64-bit drivers for bootcamp so ITunes and Safari should be 64-bit.
BTW Here is the site I found with the workaround
http://yukichigai.googlepages.com/iphonex64
Steve love your products but we need your apps to work in 64-bit on XP Pro 64bit and Vista 64bit, don't do a Microsoft.
Also while your at it can you hurry u with the Blue-Ray capable 15' MacBook Pros that can do WUXGA or 1080p HD resolutions (1900x1200).
Thanks for the lack of blue screens,

Error numbers are 2502 and 2503 for installing iTunes for Windows 64 bits. How to fix?

Hey guys,
I cannot install iTunes (latest vision) on my new laptop (Windows 64 bits), and it says that the error numbers are 2502 and 2503...
Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Thank you!

Check your system date & time is correct.
Run the System File Checker: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
If you still have problems try a creating a new user account with administrator rights, log into it, and attempt the install from there.
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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Why can't I install iTunes on my 64-bit Windows 7 desktop?

When I go to the installation page and input my email address, the full page doesn't seem to load, but then I click on what I assume is the "download" button (though can't really tell because the pictures don't load properly) and nothing happens. After a minute or so it just goes back to the iTunes page and if I click download it all just happens again.
What am I missing?

Thanks, I found the link to the direct installer and installed it. But when I tried to run iTunes after installation an error message occurred: "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTines, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)". Same thing happened when I uninstalled and re-installed.
Can anybody assist with fixing this?
