Itunes 9.2 update windows vista missing file: itunes.msi
I was instructed to download the latest update, which I have but now can't install it due to getting the error message saying that the itunes.msi file is missing. I can't uninstall itunes because of the same error. After doing some digging around I know that there used to be a solution that used the "Windows clean up facility" but that has now been retired by Microsoft and shouldn't be used! I have no idea what to do now and its getting very frustrating. Please help!

Fair enough that you aren't keen on using the utility. Unfortunately, it's the only really effective and straightforward way I've found of dealing with a missing iTunes.msi in the five or so years I've been troubleshooting that particular class of errors.
If you do eventually decide to try using CleanUp, see the following post for some precautions that would be wise to take:

I installed an iTunes update on my Windows Vista Laptop and iTunes wouldn't start saying it was missing MSVCR80.dll, now when I start Outlook it is going on about a mobileme error? Any advice? I'm tempted to not use iTunes ever again.

Hi
After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
All other features seem to work... only opening the iTunes store is failing..
I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
Please helpPurple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!" You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3). I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store. My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5. Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs. I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store.
Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix. -
I have Windows Vista and my iTunes is v10.5, I have and iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4. Everytime i try to update my phone to iOS5 it stops on Backing up and freezes. What can i do? Do i need t upgrade my phones on a Mac? Please help it would be greatly appreciated.
Your expectations are not based in reality.
Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure. -

Unable to install iTunes after converting from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Am told installation was successful, then "iTunes was not installed correctly", followed by "Error 7 (Windows error 193). I have my iPod plugged into my computer via USB port. What am I doing wrong?
i have the only account on my laptop so have checked and am the account administrator
i run windows 7 home premium
I have the same problem and
have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
then restarted as per instructions,
went to Apple to download itunes,
hit download now,
Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
did not get a save instead of run prompt
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.
sick of doing this
at least 7 or 8 times i have re installed itunes to no avail
troubleshooting no better
please help. pulling my hair out at this stage
it was working fine until 2 days ago when i opened itunes it offered to update to 12.1
not working since i clicked yes
also i have gone to restore previous point and ffs there are no restore points before my multiple reinstalls

I am trying to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows Vista) and the download stops just before completion with the following message: "The procedure entry port kCMByteStreamNotification_AvailabileLengthChanged could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Media.dll" Also "error 127. Any suggestions?
Okay. Trouble at the "publishing production information" stage also suggests trouble with Apple Application Support.
Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I cannot sync to itunes on my computer (Windows Vista 32 bit) with my mini connected. What should I do?
My Mini will not boot up. I tried holding both buttons down. I got a "connect to itunes" message. I connected. and nothing happens.Hello there Chess-ster,
If I understand correctly your iPad mini is not being recognized in iTunes on your Windows Vista PC. I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Start with these steps and work your way down as needed:
Restart
Turn off your computer and your iOS device, then turn them on again.
Update your computer
Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer.
Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Is iTunes now compatible with Windows 8 with the iTunes 11.0 update?
Is iTunes now compatible with Windows 8 with the iTunes 11.0 update?
Problem solved. The music was from Amazon MP3 store and I had to re-download it from the Amazon Cloud Player to my hard drive. It was there, but not even the Amazon Cloud Player software would play it from my PC, though it would from the Cloud. So after the re-download, I was able to add it to my iTunes Library.

I can't connect to the itunes store from my Windows Vista PC. I have run diagnostics and itunes have verified my internet connection as positive, but not the secure link to the itunes store. This comes up as failed. Any suggestions?
everytime I try to open the store it endlessly says "accessing iTunes store" but it never opens.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.) -
