ITunes 11.1.4 for windows has installation or upgrade problems

anyone knows why iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows cannot be upgraded and it always hit problem with the message "MobileDevice Services cannot be started....." when the upgrade or installation of iTunes 11.1.4 aborted half way with the message. I tried downloading manually the iTunes 11.1.4 for windoes package from Apple website and tried performing the installation or upgrade manually form my Windows computer. But it failed everytime with the same error message "MobileDevice Services cannot be started...." I tried on two different Windows computers (one laptop on Windows Vista and the one Desktop on Windows 7) and they all failed also. Please help if anyone knows what is wrong. Thanks.
BTW, after the failed upgrade or installation of iTunes 11.1.4 for windows, I cannot use iTunes anymore with the following error message "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." But reinstalling iTunes 11.1.4 always failed. So I am in a catch-22 situation. no way to proceed with iTunes on my Windows computers.

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.
I have looked a several sites that have suggested several fixes, but nothing seems to work. I dont know what program I need to install so I can download iTunes; it never tells me that.
Please help!

ITunes 11.2.2 for Windows x64 will not successfully install. Removed prior iTunes, and still will not install. 10.7 installs just fine, but constantly asks to upgrade to 11.2.2. Any Thoughts?

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 page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.
If needs be, the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility (MS Installer "Fixit") may be able to help force through the installation.

Hey MichelHebert,
When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow these steps below? This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
from: Step 1 of Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Let us know if uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Take care,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Best of luck,

"Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature & will not ...

I am trying to update my iTunes on my PC and I keep getting this message after I click the button to install the update...
"Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature and will not install
Anyone has a solution for this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated...oh and by the way, my iPod is not connected when I am trying to update.
Thanks

Okay. Rather than using Apple Software Update, let's try updating your iTunes using an installer downloaded from the following location:
Latest iTunes Installer
Does the install using the iTunesSetup.exe from there go through any better? If not, what error message do you get from that?

"Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature.

Hi. Iam trying to update from iTunes 7.3.2.6 to iTunes 7.6.2 but always get this message: "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed. Can anybody help me wth this?

always get this message: "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed.
There is a problem on some XP machines where Apple Software Update for Windows version 2.0.0.21 will always return an invalid signature message when trying to update to ASU 2.1.0.110. Since it tries to do that prior to updating other software, the update of the other software is blocked. (To check what version of ASU you have, launch ASU by going "Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update", and then in ASU go "Help > About Apple Software Update".)
The way around that issue (if that's what you've got) is to update itunes using the link to the iTunes installer that Jefe gave you in his/her post. That iTunes installer will also update your ASU to at least ASU version 2.0.2.92 which should then be able to successfully update itself to ASU 2.1.0.110 next time you run ASU.

Having issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).

Issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).This install clobbered my previous version of iTunes. Error message is "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start". Cannot start the service manually even though I am the administrator of the machine. There is obviously some conflict that was recently introduced by a Windows update or in the Apple installation. I have tried removing iTunes and the AMDS (the Apple mobile device service) and reinstalling with the same error message.
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
Marilyn

Hey there Marylin,
It sounds like you are unable to start iTunes due to this error message even after uninstalling the iTunes application and the Apple Mobile device. I would recommend uninstalling not just those 2 applications but iTunes and ALL its associated applications with the following article:

Installed iTunes 10.2.1 for Windows (64-bit), Error 7 Windows 998

Hello
After updating iTunes 10.2.1 for Windows (64-bit)I am getting the dreaded iTunes was not installed correctly, Please reinstall iTunes. With error 7 (Windows error 998) popups.
Tried already all the known uninstall/install/repair suggestions. Tried runnng as administrator or changing permissions. Tried disabling Bonjour Service.
Until now nothing has repaired it.
Is there a way to fix this? Can it be an Adobe update?
Is there a way to get an older version?

I had the same problem. I tried doing a system restore to a day or 2 before i did the update. The restore was successful but the itunes problem remained. After that I went into the control panel, selected itunes and clicked the repair tab.
It now works fine for me. The only other step I took was to copy my itunes folder into another location in case anything went wrong. Once the repair was complete I simply replaced the new empty itunes folder with my previous one.
Hope this is of some help.

Can Not installed latest iTunes 10.5.2 for Windows XP

To System support,
I am having trouble installed latest iTunes 10.5.2 for Windows XP. When I start install the exe file, I got an error message:
“There is problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.”
Could someone tell me why I can’t install iTunes 10.5.2?
I even fellow the trouble shooting from iTunes page by uninstall the older version of iTunes. Now I can’t even link my iPhone or iPad now. Please advise me on what is missing in my computer for costing this issue. Thanks for all your supports.
My computer inf:
System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Computer:
Intell(R) Core 2 Duo CPU

“There is problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.”
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

ITunes 10.5.3 for Windows crashes when loading Library

I am running iTunes 10.5.3 for Windows 7 and somehow my library has been corrupted and will not load..i tried using a previous library loading in safe mode, and it appears to work until it gets the the Genius update, when it crashes..has anyone had a similar problem and identified a fix?

Repair your Apple Software Update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install

After instailling iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows, my system slows down to a crawl

After downloading and installing iTunes 7.4.1 for Windows XP Professional, my system slows down horribly, and I cannot seem to find out why. Rebooting before installing this version of iTunes did not take long at all, yet after installing iTunes, rebooting takes at least 4 times as long, and the system runs very slowly/poorly. What has caused this problem? I have other friends who have HP Pavilion laptops using Windows XP who are using iTunes and iPods with no problems at all. I have restored my system back to the state before installing iTunes in SAFE MODE, but now I am unable to use my iPod or iTunes. Anyone having this problem?

In my experience iTunes has never been stable in a Windows operating system. If it's not one thing it's another. Right now I'm having video play back issues with tv shows on iTunes, good thing I have the iPhone now so I can watch them on there.

Hi,
I would suggest you check with any other colleague if they are able to run the same or not. Running BEx report depends hugely on the front end capacity and performance. Please check if anyone else can run the same report, with the same front end RAM, then it might be the problem with your installation.
Also you can try with the latest patch for GUI s/w.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
