Issues installing itunes + quicktime error code 2203

Every time I try install version 7 itunes + quicktime I get an error code 2203. HELP!!
Windows XP Pro service pack 2

okay. let's try getting an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
3. Type in a space, then the following line:
/l*v C:\log.txt
4. Hit return.
5. The installer will create a log file:
C:\log.txt
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

Please help. ITUNES has error 2093. re-install ITUNES has error code 3.

Hi,
My daughter and son have TUNES libraries. Clicking on ANY of the 2 libraries gets an error -2093 and the comment to reinstall. I reinstall and this gets an error code of -3. I saw a thread where someone had NORTON ( I don't). I use Microsoft, CA, and Spyware Doctor. Never had a problem before, but you've heard that one. Please help Does anyone know how this can be fixed? Short of a hammer to the computer, I can/will do anything it needs, but I don't have a clue what to do. THANKS !!!!

Do a QuickTime standalone install. That usually fixes the 2093 error.

Save it to your your hard drive - don't install over the internet.

Error Message while installing Itunes. Error code 2738

Can anyone help in the above subject.
Reckon something got to do with the installation of quicktime!

I haven't seen one of those for a while.
It's a VBscript issue on the PC. The first thing we should try with it is reregistering your VBScript.
In your "Start Search", type run
Right-click on the Run item that comes up and select "Run as administrator"
In the Run line, type:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll
If the registration is successful, you should see: "DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded".
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Fix for VBScript Error When Installing iTunes/Quicktime on Vista

With GREAT THANKS to http://www.keathmilligan.net. I was able to fix this problem by performing the following steps:
The iTunes/QuickTime installer will fail with a "VBScript not installed" error on some installations of Vista. I'm not sure exactly what leads to this situation as it does not seem to affect all Vista users, but there is a relatively simple fix:
Click Start, All Programs, Accessories then RIGHT click on Command Prompt and select "Run as Administrator"
change directory to your windows\system32 directory
enter the following command:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
This will re-register VBScript and allow the iTunes installer to run.
After almost pulling my hair out for a month, this worked like a charm and I was able to install iTunes/quicktime with the latest version and get to hear my music again after a month of trying everything. THANKS KEATH

Error 0x800736FD when installing iTunes + QuickTime

Well, I finally caved. I bought my first digital portable media player. The people on the street were throwing things at me, and my doctor said he might have to operate my shoulder. The boombox had to go!
So, I'm trying to install iTunes. My Dell machine came with an "Apple Software Update" program installed. It's been bugging me to install iTunes since I got it, so this time I clicked OK and let do its thing.
The automatic updater "Apple Software Update" is trying to install "iTunes + QuickTime" version 7.4.3. It goes through the download phase OK, then starts the installation. After about 10 minutes (wherein the installation has not progressed in the last 9 minutes), an error message appears in a separate window:
iTunes + QuickTime
(X) An error has occured during the installation of Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc...",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762" ,processorArchitecture="x86". Refer to Help for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD.
Has anyone seen this before or know how I can get around it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TS3212 I uninstalled iTunes because I have not bben able to update it or my iphone. I was told the program was infected. I am reinsatlling and getting error code 2203. Any ideas?

I uninstalled my iTunes because it would not update and I have not been able to update my phone. I was told my program was infected and to uninstall and then reinstall it. I am now getting error code 2203 when I try to reinstall it. This is the second time trying to reinstall. The first time it was reinstalled with the same problems I orginally had. I am running Windows 7. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

Or....
For Mac OS X:
Step 1. Go to your “Applications” folder
Step 2. Go to your “Utilities” folder
Step 3. Launch “Terminal”
Step 4. Type “sudo nano /etc/hosts” (without quotes) and hit return
Step 5. Enter your password
Step 6. Use the down arrow key to find the “gs.apple.com” entries. Once the cursor is in front, make sure you comment out the line(s) by entering “#” (no quotes) in front of the text
Step 7. Save the file by pressing CONTROL+O on the keyboard
Step 8. Exit the nano editor by pressing CONTROL+X on the keyboard
Step 9. Restore your iDevice
Try that

My iTunes can't update to 11.0.1 because of error code 2203

My iTunes can't update to 11.0.1 because of error code 2203 ???

Chris,
Are you trying to use the auto updater? Forget it.
Download the update manually from the Adobe site to your desktop and run it also manually from there.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4291
Print and follow the instructions from there.
The Adobe auto updater has been a piece of cr@p for years and years.

Error Code 2203 / Apple Software Update

Ok, Apple must be having a really bad time right now.... I know I've had nothing but trouble and have been cussing Apple ever since I upgraded to iTunes 7. First, I lost my entire music library, see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=680867 and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=645777
Now, I'm trying to update to the newest version, 7.1.1.5, and I get these errors:
- Download the installer and run it, "Installation failed, iTunes requires QuickTime"
- Use the Apple Software Update, "This installation was unsuccessful, error code 2203."
-- Here is my question -- Should I update it, or should I risk running software with known security bugs? I currently have QuickTime Pro 7.1.3 and iTunes 7.0.1.8 installed, and according to the Apple website, they have identified security issues in QuickTime. HELP PLEASE!

Hey 13jerm,
I would update it.

How do I uninstall if getting error code 2203?

I have Windows Vista. The admin user can open the itunes but it stops working. Another user on my computer has lost the ability to open itunes. I can not uninstall or install itunes 10 from itunes 9, or any of the 6 apple applications I see in the program files. I have also been receiving messages from quicktime about updating but it never lets me. I have tried several suggestions that I found on different forums, including uninstalling apple support, but I keep receiving the error code 2203.

When installing iTunes, an error message always shows

I have tried to install iTunes many times, and I've tried all different versions just to make sure it wasn't one particular version that didn't work. It gets to the final page of installation and it says "iTunes installer completed. Errors occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation, run the installer again." I have tried so many times on many different days I just need to reinstall iTunes ASAP. Please help! What do I do? Thanks!

Quicktime error code : -3

My Toshiba Tecra S2 laptop running XP Pro SP2 went in to standby and froze there (common problem). Upon rebooting iTunes "has encountered an error and needs to close" every time I try to run it.
I have uninstalled, re-downloaded and upon attempting re-install I get "Quicktime error code : -3" and the install fails.
This is driving me crazy. Any ideas

I deleted the iTunes folder in MyDocuments/MyMusic (renaming iTunes.old instead of deleting will preserve files)and re-installed and everything appears to work.
