ITunes 10 installation error

Hi,
I just tried installing iTunes 10 via software update and during the installation I got an error (picture). After the error the installer did say that the installation was successful. Though iTunes doesn't open, it keeps on crashing.
I tried downloading iTunes manually from the Apple site but I get the same...
I googled the error message and there is some thread about people who use torrent programs, I do not. Repairing my permissions doesn't help either.
My last solution is to install a combo updater...
Any other solutions?

ITunes Producer installation error

iTunes Producer gives me this installation error:
"The installation failed.
An unknown installation error occurred.
The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
I'm using a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8, 2.53 GHz Intel processor, 4 GB RAM, with 30 GB of space available on my hard drive. I've already contacted iBookstore Publisher Support. They sent me here. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help,

I just installed Snow Leopard from install DVD 10.6 and then used software update to insure I have the latest system everything on this MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo 2.4 GHz processor, 2GB ram, 133 GB available space on the hard drive.
I get the same error as above.
"The installation failed.
An unknown installation error occurred.
The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
Not only that, I also tried the installation on a recently purchased Mac Mini. Same problem.
Any hints, folks? It's annoying that the only install of iTunes Producer I can use is on my old, out of date Mac that I am now afraid to upgrade the system on because if this keps happening, I won't be able to upload to iBooks at all.

Please someone answer.........

ITunes 8 Installation Error PLEASE HELP!!

Ok, I know that this problem has been posted before and the last post was April of 2008.
I recently bought an iPod Touch (16gb 2nd gen)and I have downloaded the software for iTunes 8 on and I am attempting to install it. When I get into the installation process, I receive an error message that says:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘Microsoft.VC80.CRT, publicKeyToken=”ifc8b3b9a1e18e3b” (etc). Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x8007054F. The installation process is then "rolled back".
Now, even though iTunes will still install onto my computer and appear to function, it will not sync with my iPod Touch. When I plug in my iPod to sync with iTunes, I get this message:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to removed iTunes, then install iTunes again."
I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and the SAME thing happens! I have NO IDEA WHAT TO DO, and I need any help I can get. I have followed all of the information found on different forums online and it either didn't work, or I didn't understand the computer lingo. If anyone knows a solution OR if anyone has had the same issue and found a solution, PLEASE HELP! I didn't get this iPod to not be able to use it!

ITunes 9 installation error "Error getting file security"

Every time I try to install iTunes 9, I get this error:
Error getting file security: C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\QuickTime 7.62.14.0\GetLastError: 5
Any ideas? I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

itunes installs quicktime. The trouble is with the security settings in the folder in C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache.
On both the Apple Computer folder and the Installer Cache, you will need to take ownership. Then delete the quicktime folder.
First, to see the folder, in explorer go to Organize, folder options, then view tab. There click the radio button see hidden files and unclick hide protected system files.
Then navigate over to the folder location above.
Right click on the folders, click on properties, then security.
There at the bottom, click on advanced. Then click on the owner tab. There you can change the owner to the user that you logged on as.
That should fix it. Remember to delete the quicktime folder after to take ownership.

Itunes 10 installation error - Windows installer package

When I try and install I tunes 10 i get this error. "There is a problem with this windows installer package a program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact support personnell or package vendor"

I also had this problem, and looked at variatent solutions such as clean unistalls and DEP conflicts within windows itself. I even talked to the genisus team at my local apple store!! all were'nt able to solve this problem.
However, i done some research into the problem and realised that the problem was with the Apple Update software that is downloaded during install.
so i ran the udate program thing that the computer wants to update itself and ITUNES INSTALLED! to do it your self before you upset your registery is go to- C:\program files\apple updates and double click on the blue globe icom and in my circumstance itunes installed. I hope this helps and i hope Apple would offer me the job better that their own tech guys.

ITunes 10 Installation Error: Windows Installer

I'm sure this is a common issue, but I have yet to even solve this problem and I am in need of assistance. Topic with same issue: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2599360
I have uninstalled a previous version of iTunes to upgrade to iTunes 10. When I finished downloading it, I go into the installation process. Right in the middle of the installation, an error message pops up with this:
+*There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.*+
+*A program required for this install to complete could not be run.*+
+*Contact your support personnel or package vendor.*+
I've tried many solutions while I lurked the internet:
-Run As Administrator
-Installed the Latest Updates
-Updated Windows Installer
-Cleared Unworking Registry Files
And some I may have forgotten, but I'm sure I covered all of it.
I'm still given the same issue after all that.
Is there something that still needs to be done?
I'm running on an Acer laptop with Windows Vista.

Thanks for the help, polydorus!
But now I have another issue.
Before I had the iTunes problem, my sister gave me her iPod Touch 3G, which has been synced on her laptop before. I resetted via the Reset Options in the iTouch, then after a reboot, it came up with the iTunes Logo, a +, with the USB iPod Connector. So, I did what it said. I pulled up iTunes and plugged the iTouch in... The iPod Touch doesn't appear on the list. I tried unplugging it and putting it back in, resetting iTunes... then I upgraded iTunes, and now I'm still having the same problem.
So, my question is now... How can I get iTunes to find my iTouch?
I tried uninstalling Apple Mobile Device, but unsuccessfully uninstalling it, I repaired it after being able to upgrade iTunes. Could that be an issue?

ITunes + Quicktime installation error

Originally, I attempted to upgrade my old version of iTunes to version 7.2.3, and at the end of the installation I receive an error saying:
+An error occurred while attempting to create the directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files+
I then uninstalled iTunes, and tried to reinstall it to see if it'd fix the problem. But I keep getting the same error message, and the installation will not continue.
Does anyone know what's wrong with it? And what can I do to fix this? Please help, I'd really appreciate it.

Given that it's idiosyncratic, let's try seeing if the *General Instalation Troubleshooting* section from the following document is of any help:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
... but if no joy there, let's try getting an 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: [email protected]
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

Itune\quicktime installation error invalid G drive on Windows

Hi,
I am trying to install Itunes 9 on a Thinkpad T61. When it gets to the quicktime phase, it says invalid G drive. I have tried going to the cmd prompt and performing Subst G: C:\, but after doing so it goes a little further, then says "the specified path is too long G:\lib". My only option is to cancel out. I have tried starting in my dock with external drive plugged in and thumb drive too to avoid having to use the SUBST command. When I do it this way, I get a different error, 2869.
I have tried just installing quicktime separately, but does not work either. I etiher get Error 2869 or that the G drive does not have enough space? I have a different laptop (older T41) that it worked just fine. Why not just use that one? The USB ports will not operate at 2.0! (known but separate problem). Sorry for the long question, but could not find anyother similar post!

Doublechecking Jim. Have you tried the procedure I describe in the following post? (In your case you'd be looking to change the drive letter to G rather than F.)

ITunes installation error - no C-drive, invalid C-drive, or specified path too long

This is an answer rather than a question as answer to a previous question seemed unresolved and I had similar problem which I have resolved. I thought posting it might help others...
My OS System disk wasn't set as the C-drive (how or why I'm not sure, but I have several OS installations and 2 hard-drives and must be a result of the way I installed these). And so I had no C-drive at all (except when I plugged in USB Pen's they would appear as C-drive).
iTunes wouldn't let me install unless I had a C-drive - probably said I had an invalid C-drive or something. So I tried creating a virtual C-drive by mapping the C: drive letter to a new empty folder on my system disk (G-drive) to "C:". See - http://ask-leo.com/i_have_no_c_drive_but_some_programs_insist_on_it_what_can_i_d o.html
This DIDN'T resolve the problem as it merely created a different error message - it said: "The specified path is too long C:\Program Files" NB This is despite me telling it to install iTunes to the G-drive.
Solution: I removed the virtual C-drive (ie. mapping of "C:" to the new folder) and instead in My Computer -> Manage -> Storage -> Disk Management, I assigned the C: drive letter to a drive partition I use for storing media (I plan to name it back else several programms will fail to store media correctly). I also moved the iTunes.exe installation file to that C: partition in case that helped. Installation (still told to be the G-drive) was now successful.
What I noticed is iTunes created the following path - C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02\lib\ext - and dumped this file there: QTJava.zip Looks suspiciously like an install file for the bundled (and required) updated Quick Time, which it obviously requires to be dumped on a C-drive. Once installed I doubt that file will still be needed, so I'll delete it after I restart (it won't let me at the mo).
If you don't have extra partitions that you can assign C-drive to, then you could either try Adding (rather than changing) the C: drive letter to your current System disk. IN FACT I'M THINKING THAT'D BE THE BEST THING TO DO ANYWAY as then all programmes will use the correct system disk regardless of whether they think they should be using G: or C: (though I've not tried it, so can't be sure this works). Alternatively I reckon you could connect a USB stick and assign C-drive to that (if it isn't in fact automatically assigned it). Allow it to dump the QTJava.zip file on to it and once installed, you can remove the USB Stick - NB I'd suggest using the Safe Removal. (Well, might be worth restarting first in case it is referencing anything on it that isn't finished until restart.)
Hope this helps someone as was driving me potty coz I couldn't update my iTunes and thus couldn't sync my iPhone!

Hi AltafB,
For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:

My iTunes wont update, and I can't connect my new iPhone if it doesn't update. It says error when I try to update, and I cant download it because of a "Windows Installer" error...

I just not a new iPhone and in order to sync it I need the newest iTunes, but I can't update it! I tried checking for updates and then trying to downlaod it. I get this error: "Errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, chose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
Where on earth is Tools anyway?
When I tried just reinstalling all of iTunes, I had a Windows Installer error...I don't even know what that is!

tools is at the top of the apple updater but dont get your hopes up

ITunes 12.1.1 installation errors and resolution (Win 7, 64 bit)

I am providing all of the installation errors I had experienced
and all of the methods I had tried until I finally came up with a solution.
Hopefully the details will help you see if your situation has similarities
which hopefully will make this post helpful in terms of a solution.
PART ONE: INSTALLATION ERRORS
I received the following installation errors
when attempting to update to 12.1.1
and later once I uninstalled and attempted to reinstall 12.1.1.
I used this link for the download:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/?cid=wwa-us-kwg-music-itu
> itunes 6464setup.exe
I then tried this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1614
> itunes 12.1.1 64 bit
Again 6464 in the name.
After uninstalling the iunes,
I discovered under add/remove programs:
apple application support 32 bit
and apple support update
I deleted these and restarted the PC.
I then tried reinstalling a NEW version
from the second link above.
Opened download iTunes 6464setup.exe >
Windows installer> iTunes > welcome to itunes
> next > installation options > install > user account control
> yes > next > (error message via pop-up window):
ERROR MESSAGE ONE

SIDE NOTE
There was a USB cable connected to the PC to charge the iPhone,
but the iPhone was not connected. I detached the USB cable from the PC in case it's relevant.
(I did not reattach the USB cable until I finally got a copy of itunes to install. You will see later in this post below.).
I then clicked Retry.
ERROR MESSAGE 2 AGAIN
I received the identical 'Apple Mobile Device Service' error as above.
I then clicked Ignore.

b)
"Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.
Please uninstall iTunes and install iTunes again.
Error 2 (Windows Error 2)"
> OK > OK
ERROR MESSAGE 4
I received all of these errors above
when I had tried a fresh install before returning to the forum to search for answers.
When I had first tried a fresh install, I didn't get as far as the Congrats.
I only got as far as the first and second error listed above
("An error occurred during installation of assembly Microsoft VC80 CRT Type ="win32"...
AND Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service' (Apple Mobile Device Service").
Clicked on iTunes icon on desktop
ERROR MESSAGE 5
I receive the (iTunes pop-up error message window)
error 2 windows error 2 (identical to what's listed listed under 3b).
PART 2 - INSTALLATION RESOLUTION
The issue finally is resolved.
HERE IT IS!!!
1) Uninstall iTunes
2) check remaining Apple programs
(click control panel > programs > uninstall)
> check the listed Apple programs
Apple Application Support 32 bit,
Apple Mobile Device Support,
Apple Software Update,
Bonjour
3) Locate and save the correct file version of iTunes for your OS and System.
In my case, it's Win 7.
You must check for the System Type.
Computer > right click to properties > system type.
In my case its 64 bit.
The 32 bit installer is named iTunesSetup.exe,
while the 64 bit installer is named iTunes64Setup.exe.
I learned that some folks had experienced issues with
the 64 bit installer on the Apple site whether it's
because they had downloaded the 32 bit
when they needed the 64 and therefore
couldn't complete the install or in my case,
what appears to perhaps be a corrupted file that stated 6464 in the .exe file name.
This lead me to believe that finding the file with the correct file name and
correct file size to prove it authentic for that version would likely be part of
the solution if not the solution. File Hippo is one suggested means to locate the file.
I locate the iTunes download "iTunes64Setup.exe" that matched the size of the file
to a valid copy of that version of ITunes and I set it aside.
4) I then made sure that all old copies
and remnants of iTunes and Apple software
has been uninstalled by checking add/remove.
Then C: program files
and then C: program files (x86),
then running CC Cleaner,
then cleaning the registry using CC Cleaner
and then checking Tools under CC Cleaner.
***I discovered under Tools that there were remaining Apple files listed
after the uninstall of iTunes and other files had taken place under iTunes***
I visit tools under CC Cleaner and deleted the remaining Apple files
including Apple Application Support, Mobile Device Support, and Bonjour,
***but I leave the Apple Software Update folder as is, in tact***
under C: Program files (x86) and Tools of CC Cleaner and under Add/Remove.
5) I restart the computer, install the new copy of iTunes 12.1.1 (64 bit),
iTunes64Setup.exe, and it installed with zero errors.
Hope someone will find this useful. Good luck.

Try the "for older video cards" version.
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.
