Cant install newest iTunes in Windows Vista - An error occured
I started to installing new iTunes and right before the end poped up this window -
An error occured during the installation of assembly ´policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.507...",type="win32-policy",publicK eyToken="1fc8b...",processorArchitecture="x86".
Do anyone know what to do? Im desperate.
Thank you for answeringI think it would be a good idea to scan for malware as malware often interferes with Windows Update.
Download Malware bytes and run a full scan, there is a free version:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
In services, check the Window Update service. It should show as "started" and start up type automatic.
The other thing is to run the system file checker:

This will attempt to fix problems and if it will not run, that is another clue to the problem. -
HELP!!!
I am trying to install iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop and get this error:
"The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"
Arghhhhh!! I've tried different browsers and various other things suggested on other posts to no availOk people, I think I have found the solution !
If you click on the start button from your desktop screen.
Then in the "search programs and files" field type : apple software update - you can find the apple installer.
Click on the apple software update line and let the machine run it's course. I recommend updating whatever it wants to , ie: safari 5, quicktime, itunes....
I then restarted my computer and it seems to be working now !
Good luck everyone ! -
When trying to download iTunes, I get an error message saying "the instaler encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occured during installation." But it gives me no more information as to what I can do. Help please?
Also I now can`t access any of my itunes library and am concerned that if I remove it from my computer I will lose everything as I have no option of accessing and therefore backing anything up. Any ideas?

What do I do when I am trying to install my new version of itunes, and it says this: The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified.
I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

Everytime I try to install the new itunes it come up with the following message: ' The installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured, Errors occured during installation, your system has not been modified. Please run installer again or click exit' I've tried to install it multiple times now and get the same message everytime. I've also tried re installing itunes 10, but when I go to open it it comes up with the message 'The files itunes libray.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes'. Please help.
Hey sjl95,
Thanks for the question. I recommend that you refer to this article if you are running into issues re-installing iTunes:

ITunes 7.3 installer "encountered errors before iTunes could be configured"
I was able to originally install itunes 7.3.1.3 (upgraded from 7.2) and use it with my iphone (activated/synced for 2 weeks with no problems). I had a problem due to a disk full which corruped Outlook.
I cleared substantial disk space, reinstalled Outlook 2003. This seemed to have corrupted the iTunes sync function, so I uninstalled iTunes (using Add/Remove Programs control panel), and have since been trying to reinstall. I am continually getting the "iTunes installer Completed - The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured" error message.
I have read many messages and suggestions in these discussions, and already tried the following:
Completely uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime (iTunes no longer shows up in the Add/Remove programs or using the Windows install cleanup utility) follwing all the steps listed in "Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698.
Quicktime (version 7.2 Pro) is currently installed. I can cleanly install/remove Quicktime alone with no errors, but not using the combined quicktime/iTunes installer.
I have tried redownloading the itunes installer several times, and even used the Apple Software update download only option and then manually running the itunes.msi file, but still get the same error.
I have tried manually removing all instances of iTunes/iPod/activesync/iphone that I can find in the registry and all the iTunes/iPod folders as the above knowlege base article instructs.
There must still be some other remnant of the old install, because if I try to install iTtunes 7.2, I get an error message that a later version is already installed, but I have not been able to find anything else.
I have even enabled the verbose logging, the error seems to occur in this section of the log:
MSI (c) (00:C8) [11:00:26:796]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\DOCUME~1\[myusername]\LOCALS~1\Temp\MSI36.tmp, Entrypoint: iTunesLaunchConditions
Action ended 11:00:26: iTunesLaunchConditions. Return value 3.
MSI (c) (00:FC) [11:00:26:859]: Doing action: SetupCompleteError
Any suggestions on what else I can try would be appreciated. One of the main reasons I need sync my ipnone to my work windows machine is to keep my Outlook contacts and calendar. I have no problems with iTunes on my macs.
I am running XP SP2, and have local administrator rights on my Dell 610 notebook.I had to find this solution from another site, so thanks to all the people who viewed this thread & knew how to fix this but didn't bother.
If anyone is weary enough to come to this forum to solve this problem, here is one solution that worked for me & it may work for you if you encounter the error:
"the installer encountered errors before safari could be configured"
1. Use a trustworthy registry cleaner to clean your registry such as Ccleaner or Advanced System Care. This step may not be necessary though.
2. Go to "C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData(Hidden)\Local\Temp" & delete everything in it.
3. If step 2 still doesn't allow you to install Safari, then try:
4. Open Start type "CMD" in the search button, then in the cmd prompt "Regedt32"
5. In the reg editor open:
"Computer" / "HKEYCURRENTUSER" / "Software" / "Apple Computer, Inc." & try deleting the entries for any Apple programs that may be causing any conflicts.
Be aware that any programs that you delete registry entries for may not function correctly afterwards or need to be reinstalled, but this more drastic measure should hopefully allow the installation of Safari browser.
Hope this helps any further visitors to this forum looking to solve this problem it worked for me, good luck.

Installer Encountered Errors before iTunes could be Configured
I keep getting the same Error over and over again:
*iTunes Installer Completed*
The Installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit the Installer.I'm using version 8.2 lately and i downgraded to version 7 for some reason.... After i got my new iPhone 3GS yesterday. Which is needed the 8.2 version....So i uninstall the version 7 and re-install the version 8.2 again and i got this message....
*"A NETWROK OCCURED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO READ FROM THE FILE C:\WINDOWS\INSTALLER\BONJOUR.MSI".....*
I try to check this file in my C:\ Drive but unfortunately i can't find it and i can't install the iTunes 8.2..... and the bad thing is i can't f#*******ing use my new iPhone 3GS....
Please help me or otherwise maybe just return it to the shop and get something else instead of this new iPhone 3GS...... too much trouble.... -
New 7.6 iTunes64Setup.exe "The installer encountered errors before iTunes..
I am using Vista 64 bit. Used 64 bit IE to download the proper file
iTunes64Setup.exe
from
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
But I get this error when I try to install:
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit the installer.
I tried installing when logged in as an administrator, and again as a a user, again same results. I tried uninstalling 32 bit iTunes 7.5 and rebooting, but the issue still remains. I manually wiped away the
c:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory (had only one file in there after uninstall), same problem.
FYI, this is just my secondary machine, so I'm not worried about loosing anything. So registry cleaning likely. But first, I'll try installing on a pristine 64 bit Vista virtual machine, just to see if the installer binary itself runs correctly on a machine without a history of iTunes 32 bit.
Is this a known issue with 7.6 64 bit? Is there a workaround?
There are many search hits for similar errors under 7.5 32 bit, but I seem to be alone with this error with 64 bit installer, for now...FYI, I downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe again (not from cache), despite same exact filesize on my hard drive, this time, no install error, problem solved. So perhaps Apple uses no built-in CRC error detection, but at least it works now. I'm so glad 64 bit Vista is finally properly supported without errors about CD burning when you start it (I never bothered with the gear drivers workaround).
I did notice it still installs in the
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory despite being a 64 bit app, not sure if that matters, and not sure if it's a side effect of having 32 bit version in that directory previously. -

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

i tried to install icloud to my windows 7 pc. a pop up said the installer encountered errors before icloud control panel 3.1 could be configured. it also said my system has not been modified.Any advise how to modify my system?
Well.
I reinstalled Win7 64bit, same issue.
I installed Win7 32bit, installer doesn't run correctly.
Got a second new laptop, running Win7 Starter edition, 32bit, installer doesn't run correctly.
By run correctly I mean when you double click it, you get the busy cursor and some disk IO then nothing happens.
So....When's the next release of Itunes out?
Because the current one is a steaming pile of unworking crap. -

Hello llblake,
Fortunately, the process of installing or updating iTunes should not affect your library. The following articles can help with getting iTunes properly updated and stabilized.
