ITunes 9 Install on Windows 7 64bit

Trying to install iTunes 9 64 bit on WIndows 7 64bit. Logged in as admin. Installing as admin. Granted full access to iTunes folder.
Error Message comes up:
Could not open key:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE32\Software\Classes\pcast
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact you support personnel.
Your only option is to press OK. Then it rolls back
1) If the administrator doesn't have sufficient access who does?
2) In 64bit Windows 7 the folder in the registry is "HKEYLOCALMACHINE" not "HKEYLOCALMACHINE32".
I can appreciate that officially it's only spec'ed for VISTA and I don't know what the folder in VISTA is named, but to ignore that fact that a few million people are running WIN 7 RC and not at least putting some disclaimer is just wrong.
Does anyone have a work around?

No one responded to this post so I'm not sure how widespread this issue was. In any event, after a week of scouring the Internet looking for a solution (many which did not work), I came across this..

It may seem intimidating for a newbie but read it a couple of times. You don't need to understand it. Just follow the procedure. It solved my problem.
iTunes 9 is up and running. (...well as good as the Windows version can run).
As an aside, come on Apple. Mac vs PC aside, PCs are a huge part of your revenue and a huge part of your success. iTunes for the PC is bad to say the least. It's time for a re-write from scratch.

HP C309 G AIO can't install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp

HP C309 G Printer wont install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp on a new iMac
Just bought a new iMac. Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side. I am also running Windows 7 on iMac through a program called Bootcamp. When I boot to Windows 7 and try to install the newly downloaded software for windows 7 from the HP site, it begins to load then stops, giving me two error messages. They are both essentially the same except one says software and the other says hardware. The software one says: This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation. The printer plugs directly into the monitor in one of four usb ports. All the usb ports work on the system when using Windows 7. I have other devices working and plugged into the usb ports while in Windows 7. It is almost like the printer software is unable to find the usb software or hardware. Any ideas

Well, you have a full Window's 7 install so you would really have to go to HP and/or Microsoft to see what is going on. Bootcamp basically is only involved with "booting" and just installs Apple product drivers and such. Just treat the Window's side as if you are using it on a "normal" Window's PC. (As far as problems, crash's, updates, or any other Windows, HP, etc, problems you may have.)
"Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side."
So,,, that means the printer "works" (prints) on the Mac or the installer just worked? Make sure the Printer actually prints in the Mac side as you may have a dead USB port on the Printer. It happens.
If your HP works fine (prints) in the Apple environment you know it's not the USB ports on either the printer or the computer.
You said you already downloaded the newer versions, have you tried using the drivers on the install disk and then update them to the newer ones? Also if you haven't yet, make sure the drivers are for the 64bit version, just a thought.
That's about all my brain cells have so good luck.......

Bootcamp 2.1 won't install on Windows 7 64bit

I downloaded the 64bit Bootcamp and tried to install on Windows 7 64bit Retail Edition (RTM) and Bootcamp won't run. I tried compatability mode for Windows Vista 64 bit with and without SP2.
I need sound drivers. Everything else works on my Mac.
HELP

Install RealTek drivers for sound.
Maybe the 2.0.x Boot Camp drivers didn't get installed. You have to have those first.
Also.... 2.1 is OLD as the hills and was only for SP3 really, nothing there to improve on W7 or Vista SP1/2.

Update KB2685811 fails to install on Windows 7 64bit FROM WINDOWS 8.1

Hi,
Based on my research, this update package only applies to Windows 7 and Windows server 2008 R2. Windows 8.1 doesn't support this update.

I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. Tried to follow some suggestions found here but nothing is working. Any new suggestions?

I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. I've followed several threads I've read here but nothing is working.

For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from
http://office.microsoft.com/, or from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj937170
3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again

HELP!! Itunes wont install on Windows 7. I get an error msg. there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required to install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. WHAT NOW?

Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat.
Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
It works now BUT there are still problems. It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn. Looking still for this fix.

I can't get iTunes to install on Windows 8

I can't get iTunes to install on Windows 8. I click on the download link and it automatically jumps to the Thank you page without getting the run box to actually install the program. I don't have the pop-up blocker enabled...any help?

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Itunes doesnt start in Windows 7 64bit pc

ITunes doesnt start in Windows 7 64bit pc. I have Tried to reinstall again for so many times. Reinstall quick time player so many times. ITunes never starts. However in task manager always there is iTunes process running in the iTunes.exe.*32 name.
Please help me to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Ashunandha

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.

HT1923 1/30/14 trouble with iTunes services on a Windows 7 (64bit) OS. deleting 'common files/apple' will not execute

Following the support steps for uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes on a Windows 7 (64bit) computer, the provided bullet points for additional steps requests to uninstall 'program files (x86)/common files/apple'.
When attempting to delete this 'apple' folder an error message occurs saying 'the action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program'.
Looking in this 'apple' folder there are the folders and files for Internet Services & Windows Migration Assistant, and in sub-folders things like iCloud & Photostream, etc. Makes sense the error would occur given this folderinstall given this situation?
Thanks!

I did find MobileMe and deleted it prior to reading the support message, noticing that I likely did not need it anymore while deleting iTunes and the related programs.
And as you were replying just now, I was able to download and install iTunes without having to return to 'commonfiles/apple' and attempt to delete it again.
I discovered that Adobe Bridge was open in the background, and it sent a similar 'runtime' error along with iTunes, and iTunesHelper.exe, and so I used Task Manager to end Adobe Bridge as part of the troubleshooting.
Seems like all is working again.
I appreciate your support!

Iphone 3gs not recognized by iTunes 10.3.1, Windows 7 64bit

Iphone 3gs, 4.3.2
iTunes 10.3.1
Windows 7, 64-bit
Ever since iTunes updated I am unable to sync my iphone 3gs. I have tried the following steps:
-Uninstalling all iTunes and related software (per apple support steps), restarting, reinstalling all itunes software. Did not work.
-Trying several different USB cables, did not work.
-Tried all USB ports on my computer, did not work.
-Restarting phone/computer, did not work.
-Turning off antivirus software (Avast) and firewall (ZoneAlarm), did not work.
I tried syncing with my friends computer (iTunes 10.3.1 and Windows Vista), and it worked! Unfortunately none of my music is on that computer.
Next, I came across an article and tried the advice listed (install ifunbox on pc, delete itunes.db and itunes.cdb files on Iphone). This allowed my iphone to be recognized by iTunes. It began to sync, and gave me the following error: Unable to sync because the disk is not available.
I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in, it began to sync again. This time it went through all of the aps succesfully and got about halfway throught the music portion, and then iTunes froze. I restarted both systems and this happened the last 5 or 6 times...iTunes freezes during the music sync portion.
One other interesting note...in iTunes, the space claim bar (colored bar on bottom of sync screen) shows that there should be about 5 GB of music on my iphone, however the ipod app on the iphone shows no music.
Ughh sorry for the long post I am so frustrated right now.

Nope, haven't been able to fix it. I was able to get some songs to sync by 'manually managing songs' however the songs were all corrupt. They either wouldn't play, or they would start in the middle of the song, and the beginning of the song would somehow be spliced in to the middle of the song!
So frustrating. I can't get apps to sync either.
At this point I am not even going to try syncing my phone until a new iOS or iTunes comes out.
For now I have resorted to jaibreaking so that I can at least have a little fun with it

Will PS7 install on Windows 7 64bit?

Has anyone installed Photoshop 7.0 on Windows 7 64bit with success?
Are there any actions I need to know before attemoting to install it...or any errors I might get and how to remedy them?
I'm not too technical so any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance, I'm about to buy a new PC with Win7 but can't afford to upgrade my ancient PS7 (and it fills my needs so why bother anyway).

It should install and run fine as long as your hard drive is not bigger than 1TB.
Photoshop versions photoshop 7 and earlier can't see a hard drive over 1TB and you'll get a scratch disk full error.
Right now i have photoshop 7 and photoshop elements 2 installed on a 64 bit version of windows 8.
(they are both from the same time period around 2002)
Once you get photoshop 7 installed you should also install the 7.01 update.

Tempro v3.3.3 fails to install on Windows 7 64bit

Hi,
When I try to install Tempro 3.3.3 on Windows 7 64bit it stops after the third step, ends the installation and gives the error: "The installation has ended due to an error" and then the installer exits.
Running as admin and/or in 'compatibility mode' does not change anything.My account is the only user and it's the administrator account.
Any idea's?
Thanks,
Roel

Hi Xaver,
yes, I have read all above.
I think its not a problem with with the installation itself, but on my system I have tried out as many as I can.
Deactivation of firewall and virsuscanner, closed all programms, cleaning registry and so on. All on adminstartion account.
But nothing helps.
After the window "Willkommen beim Intsallationsassistenten fr Toshiba TEMPRO" and confirmation with "Next" a messagebox with "Vorzeitiges Installationsende aufgrund eines Fehlers" is displayed and the installation exits.
My system is a WIN 7 Home Premium 64Bit on a Toshiba Qosmio X500.
What else can I do?
Best regards
Rolf

ICloud 4.01 still won't install on Windows 7 64bit

I had hoped that with the recent update for iCloud to the 4.01 version it would install successfully on Windows 7 64bit.
But alas, the same problem as before.
This time it really looked like it was going to make it all the way through - as it got quite a bit further along than the 4.0 version did. However, right at the end of the installation Windows pops up the dialog that there was a problem with the installation and rolled everything back. Rats!
Anyone found a solution?
Chris

After reading your post I tried messing around a little bit and discovered I could install it just fine in safe mode. It worked just fine after it was installed. I appreciate you responding though. Thanks!
