Itunes CD won't install Quicktime

Hi!
I just bought a Ipod Video 30gb.
when I install Itunes, half way through, there comes the screen that says that Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to be closed, then you can choose send or don't send error report. when I look at the technical information it always say that files like
C:\DOCUME~1\Dennis\LOCALS~1\Temp\ca42_appcompat.txt
that always end on appcompat.txt will be included in the report. I can't try to install the standalone QT version because I live in the middle of nowhere and only have 24.5k modem internet.
PLZ anyone help me I have tried everything I've been able to find....

hi siwan!
"The following file does not exist or is not a valid uninstallation log file.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\QuickTime\Uninstall.log"<
yuck. that one usually responds to brute force rather than finesse ... installing a standalone QT over top of the existing installation.
... but the problem is getting a standalone QT 7.0.3 installer for you.
so let's just try some finesse, on the off chance it works in your case. try downloading the Installer Cleanup utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
when you install and run that, can you find any installation registry entries for QT 7.0.3?
(checking on this first, because sometimes in these cases no such entries show up.)
if they do show up, try removing them. then use the QT component of the uninstall instructions given here as a guide to a manual uninstall:
Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
and then let's try that repair technique again.
(a good idea to switch off antispyware and antivirus applications prior to the repair.)
keep us posted.
love, b

Itunes 9 won't install on Snow Leopard.

Itunes 9 won't install on my Snow Leopard. It wont even try. The install screen freezes on "Choose Disk to install" screen and the eternal beachball attacks. I've tried 4 times now, with no success
Current Itunes: 8.2.1 (6)

I'm having similar issues. iTunes 9 hung during the install. When it launched, it hung on converting the library, but eventually did it. Took well over a half hour. Then it automatically tried to do a Genius update.
Well, that also hung iTunes and almost an hour.
I then plugged in my wife's 32 GB Touch. Again hung iTunes. Force Quit and re-launch, and it detects the iPod and prompts to update to 3.1.1. Halfway through the update I get a spinning beach ball.
After that is done and I finally sync the **** touch, I update my Podcasts. Spinning beach ball and 15 minutes later, no updates.
Then I turned SoundCheck on. Instant beach ball. It's been an hour and half and it hasn't even done 25% of my library yet. It moves along slowly, but there's a spinning beach ball throughout the whole process so far.
I've rebooted between each spinning beach ball and force quit more times than I can count.

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-)#

1) Could not open key: unknown\Components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF18C3B9B1A1EE8\DD7906EE4F50871479913D71B00 F898E. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support personnel.
RollsBack:

3)RollsBack and continues to install. when install finishes, i get a couple of errors. (itunes was not installed correctly. please reinstall itunes. error 7 (windows error 5).
4. when i open Quick time i get an error (C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTimePlayer.exe windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions to access them)
5. i have downloaded Quick Time installer stand alone, and installed and get error message well i have uninstalled itunes and tried installing quicktime itself first, then error message says: QuickTime for Windows: The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime Read Me.htm
*QuickTime installer completed* the installer encountered errors before the requested operations for QuickTime could be completed. to retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again. click finish to exit the installer.
so i exit. and nothing works. is there any fix for this? or do i have to wait till apple fixes this themselves? so i am tired of redownloading itunes already, did that several times. and keep uninstalling it. so for now i'll leave it installed as is until there is a fix. thanks:)! and my operating system shows below. would be good to have itunes back. every updates with itunes never had any problems until itunes 10.

hey buddy, i have been going crazy for 3 days now trying to install itunes 10 with the exact problems ur experiencing. unfortunately, i haven't figured out how to correct it, other than to assure myself i will never purchase apple products again and will tell everybody and anybody who asks about my experiences how truly and riduculously frustrating this has been. best of luck to u

Itunes update won't install

I have Windows 7 64bit and the latest update for iTunes corrupted my computer. It won't install and I can not launch iTunes. I tried uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components but Apple Mobile device Support will not uninstall. I've rebooted several times and tried to install the latest version several times only to be met with the following error messages:
Install failed "APS DAEMON.EXE error. MSVCR80.dll missing" and "iTunes not installed correctly. Error 7 (windows error 1236)"
What do I do now?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you go to the general iTunes for Windows forum, where this subject has been addressed in a number of threads.
Regards.

ITunes 5 Won't Install -- Hangs on Unscheduling Apple Updates

Windows 7 64bit
Trying to update from last version to new version. Install goes until it hits the part where the dialog box says "Unscheduling Apple Software Update," the green bars goes a partial way, stops, retreats. Another dialog box appears and says "There is a problem with this Windows Installation Package. A program required for this installation could not be run. Contact..."
Then it backs out and reverts to the original/last iTunes version.
Tried disabling AV and Firewall...no joy.
Any suggestions?
Thanx!

using MSICUU2.exe didn't help me. But, the new replacement app did:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
I fixed my problem like this:
Here's the deal -
1. can you install itunes via the APPLE SOFTWARE updater?
I couldn't so I downloaded ITUNES and tried to install it that way.   Hence I got the same error hang as you. Nothing worked, (Multiple attempts at uninstall reinstall, stopping of Services, Reg cleaners etc..)
2. If answer is NO to #1 you must fixe the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE Program.
OK so I couldn't find a Download for this.   But: if you have WINRAR, open the ITUNES.EXE and extract the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI file. Execute the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI separately.   And you will not be able to install it and have a similar issue as per your Itunes install.   This of course leads you to believe that the Itunes.exe install is also installing all of these components including the applesoftwareupdate silently.   It must BOMB at that portion of the install and you are done.
3. Your goal now is to get the applesoftwareupdate installed.   How do you do this. Well - here is what I did.
a. downloaded and RUN a PC Installer FIX it tool from Microsoft. This is a replacement for the older MSI fixer they used to use.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
b. It will list programs to attempt to fix.
choose AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
c. Once it is done, then reinstall apple program updater using
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
Finally it should install since the Microsoft tool appraently fixed corrupted installation files in your registry for this application.
(Please note: that I also disabled any apple related services such as BONJOUR or IPOD DEvice RUN: services.msc to get there - although this man not be necesarry.)
Hence Launch this APPLE UPDATE SOFTWARE (Click the ICON in your Start menu) it should list ITUNES
select ITUNES from here and it will update.
KEY HERE is to ONLY UPDATE APPLE Stuff via the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE program. If that program is not working fix it. Then Bingo.
I am sorry to see folks having this problem for weeks.
APPLE,   Spread the word. PC's can get corruption in the registry on your product should the update be stopped or computer shut off during an update. etc...   Please improve your software updater program to check for invalid registry upon launching the app. This will prevent people thinking it is an APPLE issue. It appears to be a problem on your PC's registry settings for the APPLE Software update.

ITunes Trailers Won't Recognize Quicktime

Using Chrome on my 2008 MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OS X Lion 10.7.5 [11G63]).
Quicktime and QT Plugin are both updated but iTunes Movie Trailers won't play the trailers. Instead I get the following image in the player window:
Secondarily, I've run the recommended "Pro Video Formats" update twice and the Mac keeps suggesting it as a necessary update, even after the update has been installed. (not sure if this problem is relevant to the primary QT problem.) I have also restarted the Mac after both updates.
Any suggestions?

Using Chrome on my 2008 MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OS X Lion 10.7.5 [11G63]).
If using latest version of Chrome which eliminates access of the QT Plugin, then switch to Safari or download the trailers or trailer URL for direct playback in the QT X or QT 7 player.

ITunes 7 won't install on windows 2000 (network error) but iTunes 6 works

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. I have been trying for almost a week to download the "Idol gives back" videos but I'm not able to with iTunes 6. Says I have to upgrade...sounds easy enough, so I download Itunes 7. I already have the latest quicktime installed and it works fine. The setup for iTunes 7, however, will not work. I get this exact message:
Could not access network location iTunes\.
I read in another forum that editing some registry keys would help but that didn't work. What does this error mean? And why won't iTunes 7 work with Windows 2000 whenever iTunes 6 works perfectly? This is very frustrating, all I want to do is download the Idol gives back videos to help out the children's charities. I never thought they would make it so difficult. I know I can't be the only one with iTunes 7 issues. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

that's normal. a number of the error messages that displayed with a number in 6.0.x and earlier versions of iTunes (like the 1606, the 1316 and certain species of the 1402) no longer get the number showing up with the error message with the 7.x installers. (it seems to have been part and parcel of the change away from basing the installers on InstallShield technology.)
okay, let's try the general advice from the following document to see if that can help:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows

Can download iTunes, but won't install

I get the following error in the iTunes + QuickTime box:
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.
I've read so many articles and have been trying to fix this problem for months now. Please help.

Why won't it install? Are there any errors?
We are not mind readers, if help is desired it is up to the user to provide useful details.
Also, hopefully the media on the computer and other important data was backed up. Reinstalling iTunes does not cause that content to magically re-appear.

ITunes installer won't recognize QuickTime

Hello - I've been using various version of iTunes for the last 2 years. With the upgrade to 7.0.2 though, the installer will not recognize my QuickTime install.

2. Gathering QuickTime information...
3. An error has occured
