ITunes 64 will not install: says needs Quicktime, which *is* installed

This is what I've done:
Deleted temp directory
Restarted
Uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, through Windows Add/Remove programs
Deleted temp dir
Restarted
Installed Quicktime (from QuickTimeInstaller.exe,  v7.69.80.9)
Deleted temp dir
Restarted
Ran iTunes 64.msi, v10.4.0.80
Received the message, "Installation was not successful. iTunes requires Quicktime".
This was my fourth attempt this evening. Not happy with Apple, right now. Can anyone suggest another approach that works?
Thanks!

Exactly my problem. Very frustrating. It bricked my wife's iphone. She was not happy. I'll never update itunes or the iphone again!
Apparently what happened is this...
I plugged her iphone into the pc.
Itunes then updated the iphone.
Next, Itunes wanted to update itunes, but I kept getting the above Error.
So, I installed the Windows installer cleanup utility as the other posts say to do.
Then I deleted itunes with the cleanup utility.
Still, I get the error.
But finially, and here is the Solution...
Use the installer cleanup utility to delete any itunes things listed.
Apparently the Iphone update installer was the problem... Delete It with the cleanup utility!
Hooray!
Thanks Apple for this horrible hassle!

  • ITunes will not load--says I need new version of Quick Time

    I've used iTunes for a year and downloaded the new software 7.01--it will not run, says I need to install new version of Quick time. I removed all versions of iTunes off my computer and reinstalled iTunes with same result--Need to install new version of Quick Time. I did this and Quick time said--Can't install because a more current version of Quick time is already installed. Catch 22? Is this a do loop of apple frustration or what? Any ideas would be appreciated.
    iTunes used to work great, I'm very disappointed in apple right now.

  • New version of iTunes will not open says problem with QuickTime

    Followed all instructions to unload/reload QuickTime still same problem iTunes will not open due to problem with QT so removed both iTunes and QT and reloades still shows message and will not open iTunes.

    Try uninstalling the QuickTime Player application using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926.
    Also, *Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled*, as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925.
    Then download and install the latest version of iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • Itunes will not open/ cannot uninstall quicktime

    Since restoring my PC following installation of replacement harddrive, I cannot get into itunes. It says itunes has encountered problem and needs to close. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it will not let me uninstall Quicktunes. I get a DLL function call crashed error. Can anyone help? Thanks/

    Emma,
    I was able to get my iTunes working again - I can't remember the exact order of my steps as I was at my wits end, but I did have luck when I followed the Windows Troubleshooting tips for "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    I believe that I did the following steps:
    -I installed the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility then opened it via Start/All Programs/Windows Install Cleanup. (see more detailed instructions in the article referenced above.)
    - I selected iTunes from the list and clicked Remove
    - I also selected QuickTime from the list and clicked Remove.
    - I restarted my PC after exiting Windows Installer Cleanup
    - I checked for QuickTime and iTunes in my Control Panel/Add Remove Programs and removed them if they existed
    - I may have restarted my PC again at this point
    - I then downloaded standalone versions of QuickTime (I did this before iTunes) and iTunes. I found the links to the standalone versions of these applications on the same document with the Clean up iTunes Installer files instructions.
    - I did another re-start of my PC
    After doing this, my iTunes miraculously worked again and all of my song files were intact from the restore that I did after clearing my hard drive.
    I urge you to try this at your own risk... it worked for me, but I'm not an expert. Maybe someone else will see this and can confirm that this is a good fix for you too. I'm sure if you're as frustrated as I was, you are willing to try almost anything!
    Good luck!

  • IMovie '06 will not open - says a Quicktime update is required

    iMovie '06 will not open for me. I get a message saying that, "QuickTime update required - iMovie requires QuickTime version 7.5.0 or later, which can be downloaded from www.apple.com/quicktime." And the only button displayed is "Quit".
    The problem is, my QuickTime Player is already at Version 7.5 (149.5) (and beneath that it says 'QuickTime Version 7.5.0 (861)').
    Any idea how I can get iMovie '06 to realise that I do in fact have the up-to-date version of QuickTime?

    Hi Michael and welcome to the forums!
    Did you restart and repair permissions after updating Quicktime?
    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.

    and here:

    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • Itunes will not start says incorrectly localised, itunes will not start says incorrectly localised

    Cannot start iTunes on computer. An error message appears saying, This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English version. I have tried unsuccessfully to uninstall to try to do this. any ideas?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
