ITunes 7.0.2. wont install because Quicktime wont install

I've been trying to install iTunes 7.0.2 on my computer for WEEKS but the installation always encountered a problem: the programme always stopped just as it was computing Sapce requirements for Quicktime. An error message saying "Invalid drive: U:/" appeared and then "Cannot install QuickTime. ITunes requires Quicktime" or something like that. And then the installation aborted. There isnt a drive U: on my computer and I didn't understand why this was occuring.
My brother had been suffering from a similar problem, whereby installation always failed under the same circumstances only asking for a (valid) network path on another computer of his (it asked for //Computer/My Documents instead of U:) He managed to solve the error by connecting to the network path and re-running the installer.
The solution to my problem was much the same. I got a USB flashdrive, plugged it in an using the Disk Manager
(Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Manager Right click on the USB disk and select Change Drive letter) created a disk U:
Problem solved.

I'm trying to figure out if this was a problem with my computer or something to do with the iTunes 7.0.2 installer.
My computer met all the system requirements (256RAM, 500MHz processor - I actually installed extra RAM to see if it would solve the problem!) when the problem was occuring. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

I have also tried to install quicktime separately and nothing seems to work.
did you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall? if so, what did it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
which QT installer did you download from the QT installer download page? was it called QuickTimeInstaller.exe, or iTunesSetup.exe? (the former is a standalone QT installer, and the latter is an itunes/QT installer bundle.)

I think we may have an answer here as these 2 threads seem related to our problems. Unfortunately it's not an answer that's welcome.

ITunes won't install because Quicktime won't

I had QT on my computer, the latest version, and I tried to download iTunes and it says "Quicktime will not install. iTunes needs Quicktime to run." and the only option I have is to close.
I removed QT and tried to install QT w/ iTunes, same error.
I tried then to just install iTunes. same error
I put QT back on alone, tried iTunes again, same error.
If anyone can help before I have to return my new ipod because of software issues that would be cool. thanks.

with that one, 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

Itunes Wont start and i think because quicktime wont work either

Hi,
I have a problem with Itunes and Quicktime:
It says on startup of either of them "Quicktime Player/itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
I have the error signatures for both of them below:
Quicktime Player Error Signature: EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.67.75.0
P3 : 4c613a4a P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll P5 : 7.67.75.0 P6 : 4c613a40
P7 : 00005b6d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
Itunes Error Signature: AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 10.0.0.68 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: c4980000
This happens as soon as I try to open Itunes or Quicktime.
I am new to itunes and just got an ipod touch wanted to install itunes and quicktime and it had a problem with windows installer so i reinstalled windows xp and then tried again to install itunes, this time it installed BUT it wouldn't open same with quicktime.
one other thing: I wanted to play an old game on compatiblity mode, so I installed it and it needed an older Quicktime player and the installer came with it so i installed it and when i finished with the game uninstalled it and the old quicktime i attempted to reinstall the new quicktime but the installer woundnt work so i fixed that but now i think it would have something to do with it not working.
I also searched quicktime while it wasn't installed and it came up with all these random files and folders in random places i didn't delete them as i was scared to stuff something up i wanna know if its safe to delete them.
Thanks to any1 who helps

Excellent detailed information. Many thanks.
It'll almost certainly be older QuickTime componentry lurking in unorthodox places on the PC that'll be causing the trouble. First we'll try to track down misplaced stuff in the most common location for it to be causing issues on XP.
You'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in XP.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.

Itunes 7.5 won't run because QuickTime 7.3 is broken

During installation of itunes you will get an error saying "Itunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes". The reason is because QuickTime 7.3 is broken. You can check by opening QTInfo.exe in the quicktime folder and it will say QuickTime is not installed. What you can do is downgrade to QuickTime 7.2. Get it at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime72forwindows.html. iTunes 7.5 will run fine with it.

Hi,
Thank you. Had to perform the following steps 'IN ORDER' to get 7.5 to work. Formerly was running iTunes 7.3.1 'without' incident.
1) Install iTunes 7.5. Quick Time 7.3 installs at same time. When error message occurs, click OK and finish installation.
2) Go to 'control panel' and remove 'Quick Time 7.3'
3) Install Quick Time '7.2.
4) Re-boot system and launch iTunes 7.5. How 'bout that. It works !!
Best Regards, DE

Itunes cannot sync apps to iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined

when i try and sync my iphone 4s it shows a message saying itues cannot sync apps to iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined

I am encountering the same problem. This is a good start but need some guidance:
1. How do you get to the iTunes files you mention?
2. What specific files do you need?
3. Will I lose any data?
Thanks for any help.
1) The files are in the iTunes folder. The iTunes folder is in your Music folder which is in your home folder (user).
So go to <user home>/Music/iTunes.
2) Any files that end with .xml, .itl, or itdb. Please note that I had upgraded iTunes many times over the years and had several obsolete versions of those files in my iTunes folder. By moving them out and forcing iTunes to create new ones (see steps 3 & 4 above), I was able to determine which ones iTunes actually needed. Those were the files that I copied back into the iTunes folder, overlaying the new empty files.
3) Always make backups before you try tricks like this. I would recommend backing up your entire iTunes folder. I did not experience any data loss. Those files seem to contain your iTunes library information but not the actual music, movies, etc. When I started iTunes in step 3 (see above), iTunes showed an empty library. After performing step 4 (see above), I started iTunes again and it showed all my music, movies, etc. So I assume that the actual media files are stored elsewhere. Again, always make backups before trying something like this. I use Time Machine.
Good luck. Let us know what happens.

Administrator will not install because it wont let me?

The only problem I am seeing this happen is trying to install Adobe Air I get the following
"An error ocurred while installing Adobe Air. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator."
I am admin account so I don't understand why it will not install. I tried other Adobe programs like ADobe Flash and Reader and they installed fine.
I even tried uninstalling it through Utilities>Uninstall Adobe Air but give me an error.
I am thinking this is now admin thing but an Adobe Air problem.
Hope someone can help

Probably best to submit that question to Adobe:

Quicktime not installed error message upon installation of Itunes

HI,
I have Quicktime already installed (7.7 1680.34) and I have Itunes (10.4.0.80). Now when I seek to update to the latest Itunes I receive an error message saying 'Quicktime not installed' and then it stops the installation. Same thing happens after reinstallation of Quicktime. -What to do now?

Try removing QuickTime from Control Panel before installing iTunes 10.4.1.
Check out this Apple document, if you need a walkthrough of uninstalling from Control Panel -> Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Make sure you read the detailed steps, if you run in to a problem.

ITunes wont download because of Quicktime?

When I try to download itunes it wont let me because it says the quicktime is needed. ive tried and tried and i got to the point were i actually downloaded quicktime seperatley and it still does not work. ive checked the forums up and down and i cant find anything. does anyone have any suggetions please?

Could you give the error message in full and exactly what you were doing when you received it.
The iTunes installer includes Quicktime and it should install it unless something goes wrong.
You should down load the installer from here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And save the file on your desktop. It should be called iTunessetup.exe and your run it from the desktop to install iTunes.
Sometimes if there is a problem with installing iTunes it can help to install QUicktime separately. You need the version of Quicktime that does NOT include iTunes, which is not the default option.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
There is an article on trouble installing itunes here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
If that doesn't help, post back with more details of exactly what you did with error messages in full.

Itunes wont work because of quicktime or something?

from then on

however
everytime i try to download quicktime 7.0
it still doesnt open
what am i doin wrong?

hi Connie!
how do u kno if u have a k lite mega code pack?
hmm. i think it's something you need to install, so if you don't know you have it, you probably don't have it.
let's try this again, using a QT 7.0.3 standalone installer this time.
first use the QT part of the uninstall instructions given here to get rid of that existing QT you have:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
after you do that, download the Windows Installer Cleanup utility and use it to check if you still have an entry for Quicktime. if so, remove it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
then download the standalone QT 7.0.3. save it to your hard drive (we'll run the installation from there rather than online). again, switch off any antivirus and antispyware prior to the install:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
reboot after that install. will itunes run properly now?
love, b

Quicktime wont load because the installer thinks I have a newer level quicktime installed already.

quicktime wont load because the installer thinks I have a newer level quicktime installed already. Thus the newest level of iTunes and quicktime will not install, help... Thanks.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Restart the PC, and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
Thank you.

My phone is the iPhone4 and my computer is a Windows Vista

I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.
