ITunes 6.0.1.3 installation problems

I have problems installing the latest iTunes update. I get this message when I try to run itunes:
"iTunes.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log has been created." In my log I find messages like:
"Product:iTunes -- Configuration completed successfully" and
"The description for Event ID (0)in Source (IdriverT) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: service stopped."
Setup finishes somewhat normally and I restart my computer. An installation shield starts loading, and then nothing. I try to run iTunes and I get the first message I described. I suspect there's an error with the quick time installation. iTunes is listed under add/remove programs, quick time not. I can uninstall iTunes manually, not quick time. I have tried to install quick time separatly with no luck. I get different errorcodes among them Error:-3. I don't remember all of them. I use F-secure anti-virus on a w2k SP4 system. I have never had problems installing iTunes before... Any help would be appreciated!

Hey Vegard,
Here is a post that I added two weeks ago. It includes a solution that worked for me. I hope that it works for you! Good luck.
Hey troubled Podheads,
I was one of the legion with problems in downloading iTunes6 and QT7 for Windows until I tried something (I must say that I am not a pc wizard and I don't know the technical reasons for why the following worked, it just did! So if there are any pc geeks out there, be sure to chime in). Anyway, this is what I did. First uninstall QuickTime if you do have it on your pc. If not, just go to the next step:
Go to START, then RUN. Type in regedit and then click OK. Your REGISTRY EDITOR should open. You should see HKEYLOCALMACHINE in the scroll down menu on the left, with a small box to its left. Make sure that the inside of the box has a negative sign - this will open up the next set of subfolders. Next, make sure that the subfolder, SOFTWARE, has a negative sign in the small box to its left. Next, make sure that there is a negative sign in the box next to the subfolder entitled, Apple Computer, Inc. You'll see at least three subfolders: iPod, iTunes and QuickTime. Click once on the QuickTime folder until it is highlighted and then delete it. You will be asked if you want to delete QuickTime and its subfolders. Click ok and then close out the Registry Editor.
Next, download the stand alone QuickTime 7 at this link (you may have to cut and paste this link to open this website):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
When you download the stand alone QT7, you may get a couple of error messages (I did), but if you repeatedly click ok (like I did), the QT7 player should load with no problems.
Again, I am no pc geek, but this worked for me and I have gained access to iTunes6 (with video capacity) and my complete library is intact. Nothing like trial and error!! Good luck -- I hope this works for all of you frustrated Podheads out there!

ITunes 6.0.1.3 installation problem with Win XP Pro

I am trying to install the newest version of iTunes on my laptop which runs Windows XP Pro. I have installed SP 2 and have all windows updates installed. The iTunes installation process has removed my old version of iTunes and appears to install the new version. I get a grey box on my desktop when it is installing (as if it is going to become the iTunes icon), but the box always disappears at the end of the installation process when the process is in the step of "Publishing product information". After installation completes I have no iTunes and there is no iTunes folder in my Program Files folder! I never get any error message, just no program. I have disabled my anti-virus software and attempted to install again and the same thing happens. Any suggestions?

Hi iFriend,
try this, it worked for me:
1) first of all, uninstall QuickTime and older versions of iTunes from your PC, using the "remove" button in the "install applications" tool that you find in the windows control panel.
2) reboot the system
3) turn off the windows firewall application; go into the windows control panel, double click on windows firewall and disable the firewall option
4) if you have one, disable your Anti-Virus application; i mean its real-time protection.
5) probably it's not necessary, but for being sure... download and launch the standalone installer of QuickTime (latest version)
6) download and launch the iTunes + QuickTime installer from this web address
7) as an option, i suggest you to download and install also iTunes Art Importer. It's a nice application, that allows you to import from the internet directly into iTunes the album ArtWorks of the selected tracks in iTunes. I installed it, and it works very well with iTunes 6.
8) after all the installations, remember to enable both firewall and anti-virus previously disabled!
as i said, probably the 5th passage is not necessary, but i did it and it worked!
if you have any questions or feedbacks, just relpy to this topic. stay iTuned!
bye, bye,
Marco

ITunes 7.6 "invalid signature" installation problems with Windows Vista

I updated my 160Gb Classic to the latest firmware and then up pops: "The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.6 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes."
Everytime I start to download the lastest version of iTunes, Quicktime 7.6 and Safari I get a pop up window saying: "itunes & quicktime has an Invaild signature and won't installed" and the same happens with Safari.
I've turned off my popup blocker as was one suggestion, but still no luck. Am I being a Dunce and missing something?
I'm on dial up and downloading an entire version of iTtunes takes ages, but Download Express usually helps cut this time in half.
Would anyone have any ideas please on how to reslove this please? My iPod doesn't even show up in iTunes, just the message saying to update to the latest ver of iTunes. I'm running Windows Vista 32Bit

Heej
I'm having the same problem
Did you allready found a solvation for it?
Thanx very much
I'm going crazy that I can't put any music on my ipod=(

ITunes 10.3.1(55) Installation Problem

Yesterday I tried updating to iTunes 10.3.1(55), after a long time, a screen pops up saying that iTunes 10.3.1 and Quicktime have trouble updating and told me to do it manually. Immediately after, there is another update (around 2.2mb) for iTunes that installed.
When I open up iTunes, and checked the version, it shows 10.3.1 as the most current version and said my software is up to date.
I checked my library, the songs seemed to be there. Just wondering if there's anything I can check/run to see if my iTunes is possibly malfunctioning or corrupt?
I want to make sure iTunes is functioning properly before I restore my iPhone (due to battery drainage problem) - as Apple suggested I update iTunes prior to restoring iPhone.
Thanks!
Sony Vaio, Windows XP SP3, iPhone (version 4.2.1)

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?

Installation Problem on iTunes 6.0.1.3 - HpSdpAppCoreApp

Help!
I'm trying to install the new iTunes 6.0 and I'm getting a message during installation that says
HpSdpAppCoreApp
"The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative pathway to a folder containing the installation package "HpSdpAppCoreApp.msi" in the box below."
The last time I dug through some files on my own, bad things happened.
Thanks,
C

good gracious, Chris ...
okay, try applying the general advice on installation problems given here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
... and the InstallShield Tips and Pointers are also helpful with these less-well-documented errors:

ITunes 10.5 installation problem

I can't install ITunes 10.5 because the installer says that some programs necessary for the install are missing. I followed the advisory and deleted my old version of ITunes, but still can't install 10.5. Any advice?

I have the same problem. I also have the following problem : iTunes 10.5 told me that my iPad needed resetting which I started to do and then it errored out on me leaving my iPad stuck. I eventually upgraded to OS5 on my daughters Mac which was running iTunes 10.5 with OS X 10.6.8 but have lost all my apps etc which I presume are on my iTunes . Unfortunately my iTunes will still not let me access my iPad. I haven't dared plug in my iPhone since upgrading to 10.7.2 in case it does the same thing. Help!

I cannot install iTunes 10.5. Problem is that there are rest of installations. I uninstalled all iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apples components, but problem goes on. I run WIN XP SP 3 32 BITS. I accept ideas to solve, thanks.

A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
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 performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

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
If you don't find ASU, go to Control Panel:
START/CONTROL PANEL/Programs n Features/highlight ASU and click REPAIR,

Got exact same problem, was told to delete all old apple, quick time and bonjoir from computer then it would work. I use a programme called malware bytes and this takes everthing out of your computer right down to the roots but unfortunately I still have same problem

ITunes update installation problems

I just tried to install the latest update to iTunes, and I've encountered several problems. One error message says "Apple Mobile Device failed to start". Another says "MSVCR80.dll missing". Anyone know how to resolve these problems? I uninstalled iTunes, restarted the computer, downloaded the file, and then ran it. It failed to install, and gave me these error messages.

Itunes 7 fails to install - QuickTime problem.

I successfully used an earlier Itunes with an Ipod 1GB Nano. My new 2GB Nano (courtesy of Netgear promotion!) demanded V7 which I downloaded and tried to install. There were many errors installing Quicktime, but one was
"Could not open key HKEYLOCALMACHINES\software\classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuicktimePlayerApp\CLSID"
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
I accessed myself (8-)# I tried running regedit, but that key and all the other "QuickTime" "software/classes/" keys gave the same error. I tried right clicking to set permissions, but although the list comes up, I cannot enable any of them.
I even tried safe mode, but all those entries are give similar errors. I have now deleted all references to "QuickTime" in the registry except the inaccessible ones, and the "Program Files" directory, but installation gives the same errors.
The result is that Itunes will not install, and I am unable to use my new Ipod.
A Google search finds no-one with similar problems.
Any ideas?

I am answering this blind as I did not realise I would not have access to the previous posting! Thanks for responding.
There is no version number of the installer under properties, but it says "V7" when run, and was downloaded earlier today (38,808,256 bytes) from the Apple site (as linked to by my then presumably working Itunes).
I see exactly my problem is in http://forums.vnunet.com/thread.jspa?threadID=93546&tstart=0
and unresolved.
I rolled back Windows to yesterday (and then the day before), and now find I cannot even uninstall either Quicktime or Itunes. The "Add or Remove programs" utility starts its progress bar and then quits with no report. I tried a re-install of the only previous installation of Itunes and it reported "You have a later version of Itunes installed" (meaning presumably V7) The Itunes I have on disk will not run "Files missing". This I suppose must be due to the failed installation of V7, which System Restore has failed to undo.
I tried then the V7 install again, and got:
"QuickTime failed to install Error #-2903"
and later
"Error 1905 c:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTOControl.dll
Hresult -2147220472"
... and then followed by three or four registry errors in HKEYLOCALMACHINES\SOFTWARE\Classes\ including the one I started this thread with. All these registry items are inaccesible under regedit ("Error opening key").
I am now in a position that I cannot go back or forward and still cannot link my IPOD to Itunes.
Is Itunes the only program that can transfer music?
It seems that one cannot simply copy, as firstly there is no "music" folder, and when it is done in a kosher way, the filenames are changed to an internal format, with the real names in a database.
It looks like Apple are managing to stop loads of other people using their new IPODs. I would ask for my money back if it wasn't a gift from Netgear (8-)#

When your username includes a Charakter like "acson te graf" zhere is a Problem for Windows to find your installiert-Files. Yust Build another Username like "Dummy", give admistration rights, change to this user and install iTunes on this accout. Now you can Return to your Old account an use iTunes.
I am still surching how to change the username in Windows but still no idea.

When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems), I get the error message 2324. What should I do to reinstall the application?

When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems; iTune error message states it cannot sync and that I should reinstall the application; also, it fails when I tried to upgrade to the latest release), I get the error message 2324. What should I do to reinstall the application?

That installer error is a "Can't open file" error
It suggest that you may have a corrupt file.
Try running a disk check
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
If it fixes errors try uninstalling iTunes again.
If that doesn't work, is it possible for find out the name of the problem file, is further information available? Try looking in your Action center - that's on the control panel. Another place is in the Windows Error logs. From the start menu , right click on "Computer" and select manage, then Event viewer.
If nothing emerges, try a manual uninstall of iTunes and related programs according to this method:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Don't worry if an uninstall fails, that is expected. Go on to the part where you have to delete files (2. Verify iTunes etc completely deleted) . Hopefully you manage to find a file that can't be deleted, that is the one we will need to deal with.
