Installation freezes during "registering automation server"

I have made multiple attempts after completly uninstalling all Apple applications.  I also tried installing as a different user.  No luck.

Same problem running W7 Pro 64Bit Service Pack 1.  Have used several third party cleaning/removal tools also to "completely" remove iTunes and its associated programs and still no luck with the reinstall.  I am still getting stuck at "Registering iTunes automation server".

  • Install hanging when registering automation server

    I'm tearing my hair out, as well as getting my 4rse kicked by the other half!
    We've had iTunes up and running on our Vista Home Premium box for a while, then it just stopped working coming up with an error.
    So I've tried re-installing, but 7.3 keeps hanging when trying to register the automation server. Worst still I have to kill it with Task Manager and it leaves a partial install that refuses to uninstall!
    Any guidance would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Stuart

    Registering Automation Server hangs are actually a 7.x.x.x thing rather than a 7.3.0.54 thing. I've seen them with 7.2.0.x too.
    Perhaps try this strategy.
    First download and then install the QuickTime standalone installer:
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    If that install goes through properly, then try another iTunes install.
    (The theory here is that if your QuickTime is already up to date, the iTunes installer bundle skips the QuickTime part of the install. If the iTunes installer is given less to do, sometimes it gets past the Registering Automation Server hang.)

  • The installation freezes during completing installation part

    I tried to install windows 7 and bootcamp. Followed all instructions but the installation enver gets over "Completing Installation" Tried moving mouse and keyboard, no use.

    You will want to start by running the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ to review and analyze your installation logs.

  • Registering iTunes Automation Server installation freeze

    Hi all. Long and detailed question, but I've been searching everywhere and am at my breaking point.
    I searched for others with this issue and found a few people who complained about it, but the only responses suggested using the SpyCatcher deactivation when installation freezes at registering modules. That's not the issue here.
    I upgraded to the latetst version and lost my abilitiy to open iTunes. It would launch (tracked in Task Manager) but wouldn't opne. Following advice I found on here (apple support docs and forum advice), I completely uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime.
    Now, though, when I try to install, I get a clean install of Quicktime, but when installing iTunes, it gets all the way to "Registering iTunes Automation Server" and then freezes. The first time I left it for hours and no progress, and subsequent attempts to uninstall and reinstall hit the same point.
    I'm running a Dell x64 pentium with WinXP sp2. I have ZA internet security suite which I disable for the install (though it never posed problems before and the ZA forums don't show people having install issues). Likewise, run multiple AV and malware scans, patches are updated and current.
    The only thing I can even think of is that iTunes was initially installed under a different user account than the one with admin privileges, but since I've wiped all the accounts of any traces of iTunes and QT using CCleaner and Registry Mechanic after unintalls using the Windows Installer Clean-up utility, I can't see why that would be the issue.
    I know this is a tough one, but it's so frustrating for me and my wife not to be able to update our iPods or manage our music.
    Thanks.

    I have the same exact problem, I got an iPhone 4 and when i connected to the iTunes i had earlier for my iPhone 3g, it told me to download a compatible version for the iPhone 4. So i went ahead and did that, and since then the iTunes install freezes on "Registering iTunes automation server" I have tried everything possible out there but no luck so far..
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you Kindly

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Reinstalling freezes during "Preparing for Installation..."

    Hi,
    I'm using an Apple MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard).
    I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium.
    As written in my other post (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650516?tstart=0), I am unable to find a solution to reinstall my Adobe printer driver.
    That's why I thought I might be able to just reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro completely.
    However, when trying this, the installation freezes during the "Preparing for Installation..." screen.
    I also tried installing in Safe Mode but without success.
    I found some posts regarding this but mostly the solution is to uninstall CS4 completely and to reinstall it again from scratch. But of course I would like to fix the problem without the need to reinstall everything.
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Wolfgang

    Hi Larry,
    thanks for your message!
    I found that out later as well, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2857742#2857742 .
    However, the problem I tried to describe in this post, is that I cannot reinstall Acrobat as it just freezes during the Installation.
    Do you know any work-around for that?
    Thanks,
    Wolfgang

  • Cannot install Flash Player-Installer freezes

    Running OS 10.10.2
    Was unable to update, so followed instructions and uninstalled entire Flash app. Have downloaded update 3 times. Installer freezes during download/install process at 25% and does not continue.
    Now I have no Flash and am unable to install.
    Forum shows several other users with same problem; none of their posts have been answered.

    joseywales41's solution worked for me (Please try the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the 'Still having problems' section.)
    Everything is back to normal now.  Thanks!

  • Itunes "registering itunes automation server" freeze?

    hi
    i am really sorry for posting twice the same problem but since no one answered i thought that i should start a new topic:
    when installing itunes (9.2.1.5) it installs everything (bonjour,apple software update,apple mobile device support,apple application support,and quicktime)even itunes but not perfectly it is there in program files but not in control panel and when i click on itunes.exe my LAPTOP (not only itunes)i can't move my mouse or even start task manager the only thing i can do is force restart. but i saw another topic where someone said to use cmd like this:C:\program files\itunes\itunes.exe /regserver,and my LAPTOP froze again so i force rebooted into safe mode and deleted everything related to apple except quicktime and itunes.Then when i went out of safe mode and used the cmd trick it worked but it said something about the software required for ipods and mobile devices was not installed correctly (but i need that software because i am getting an iphone 4)
    but now heres the weird part when i installed itunes on windows xp mode, it installed perfectly without any errors. so could someone tell how to fix "registering itunes automation server" and explain what "registering itunes automation server" means? (if you want more information check out my other topic:click here)

    After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
    Look out for "japiohelp".
    In short:
    a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
    b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
    c) reboot the computer
    and Bob's your uncle.

  • "Registerting iTunes Automation Server" freeze

    Hello,
    So, this is where my iTunes installation freezes up. In fact, as I write this, it's making my computer freeze up every few minutes while not making any progress.
    I uninstalled it using the Windows Install Clean Up program, restarted, deleted the iTunes folder and Quicktime VR files, restarted, then installed and this is where I am now.
    I learned that I can get out of this hang up by stopping the "itunes.exe" process after doing the whole altctrldel thingie. After doing that, it says itunes is completely installed, but it's a lie. It freezes up and does nothing.
    I hope this helps in describing my situation. I hope you can help.
    P.S. I'm going to stop "Registering iTunes Automation Server" now.

    I ate monkeys. Then iTunes was satisfied and began working again.
    I described my steps in the following post:

  • Itunes install hangs at "registering itunes automation server"

    Windows 8 - 64 bit
    Loaded latest Quick Time.
    uninstalled itunes ...rebooted...tried installing again but still hangs at "registering itunes automation server"
    When I click on "cancel" install...it starts to roll back and says "Files missing"
    Thanks

    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 installation or 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.
