Itunes Error 42404- corepf.pkg install fail

The Corepf.pkg in the itunes installer is failing to install, causing me to not be able to authorize my itunes account and preventing me from installing apps on my iphone and playing downloaded music. The pkg gets about 80% of the way through the install process. The error message states "The installer could not install some files in "/." I've tried reinstalling itunes and fixing disk permissions to no avail. Any thoughts?

I have exactly the same problem. I had a support store reinstall all my software after my computer crashed. I now have iTunes 8.2.1 and Quicktime 7.6.2 which as far as I can tell are the most current available. But when I try to play EITHER my own purchased downloaded music OR samples from the store, I get the message "We could not complete your iTunes store request. A required iTunes component is not installed (-42404). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later." I've been trying again later for 2 days but no luck. I repaired all permissions, re-installed Quicktime, and tried every other hint I could find online. Help!

itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?
I get the following:
(1) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? Yes/No
(2) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices. OK
(3) iTunes error message - A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) OK
(4) iTunes error message - We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) There is an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later. OK
Okay, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall. Funny, iTunes can be found in a program folder, but it does not show up in the programs list. I tried to look for it using the command prompt ("wmic" --> "product get name") but iTunes is not there either. Doesn't even show up in the registry to try to uninstall.
I just want to "properly" uninstall and reinstall iTunes (plus the other usual suspects, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, & Apple Application Support). If anyone out there has any suggestions, please help! (I'm running Windows Vista -- don't judge/laugh) :-)

Okay, feeling like an idiot, but will share so others don't have to. I rebooted my computer and that enabled iTunes to reappear in the programs list. Don't appear to be having the same problems as before (no error messages now). Problem solved!

How do I solve the following Itunes error -42404 I have tried uninstalling as well as repair and re installing, I keep getting the same problem, Help please

Please help I am un able to get my I Tunes back on my Windows 7 -64 after a Virus clean out, How can I solve a problem with the followin ITunes error of -42404 I have tried the usual uninstall and reinstal, as well as the repair all at no success, do any of you have any solution Ideas that have solved this in the past? Please Help, Thank you...

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.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

Itunes error -42404

Well, unlike a previous thread about this error code, my itunes will open and play song and music videos. The catch is that it will only play songs and videos that i purchased in the last 4 months or so. All movies and 90% of the songs after that will not play. Movies wont play period while songs pop up the authorize box and when i go to authorize it pops up the "Unable to authorize. iTunes is missing a required component Error -42404"
Now i recently had to archive and reinstall OSX 10.4 because a failed update corrupted many of my programs. Now everything else works fully except iTunes. And i have current itunes and quicktime.
What do i do now??

Hi,
Try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Can you download anything from the iTunes Store, like the Free Single of The Week?
If you can't download from or connect to the iTunes Store, try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368

Errors occurred during installation, install failed.

So recently I got into a bit of trouble when my web browsers got hacked and started installing some adware on my computer... I'm still getting that sorted out, but I think while I was going through my "Common Files" folder and deleting things that looked suspicious, I accidentally deleted some kind of file for Apple's many programs that install with iTunes. I realized my mistake when, at the next reboot, Windows gave me an error that some program could not start due to a missing .dll file and then gave me the program name, which as it turns out was Apple Application Support. I uninstalled the support program to attempt to correct the issue, but when I did it only broke things further! iTunes claimed that it could not work without the support software, so I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes to get the Application Support program back. Sadly, this did not work either as iTunes did not uninstall correctly, freezing windows explorer. Then when I downloaded the install file to try again, it gives me an error almost immediately saying "Errors occurred during installation, your system has not been modified. Run the installer again." (I'm paraphrasing) When I run it again, the same thing happens.
In conclusion, it appears that by deleting one simple file, I have broken iTunes permanently and I can no longer use it on my computer. Ugh. Can anyone help me get it back? I can't believe I'm even asking this... I'm not really an apple fan but I do use it to put videos and stuff on my iPad and I have a bunch of playlists in there that I've spent time organizing, so I still use it as my "main" mp3 player. This is very inconveinent!

Windows gave me an error that some program could not start due to a missing .dll file and then gave me the program name, which as it turns out was Apple Application Support. I uninstalled the support program to attempt to correct the issue,
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 instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Can't install latest Itunes, error "service apple mobile device failed to start

I just finished reinstalling Windows 7 64bit and I am in the process of trying to install the latest Itunes and it gives me a few errors during the install process. First error is "HRESULT: 0x80070BC9", it also had some other stuff before that but didn't take the time to post it. I click ok and the install process starts over again and gives me a different error which says "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start, make sure you have sufficient privliges to start system services." I click on ignore since I don't have any apple mobile devices and the installation continues on until it gives me the first error again and will eventually quit.
I downloaded the file from Itunes website like I always have in the past and never had any trouble. Could this have something to do with me just finishing reinstalling Windows? Is there something that needs to be installed in order to install Itunes?
Just thought of this, I don't have all the Windows updates installed yet, still in the process. Should I wait until Windows is finished updating and then try to install Itunes again?

Just thought of this, I don't have all the Windows updates installed yet, still in the process. Should I wait until Windows is finished updating and then try to install Itunes again?
Yeah, the 1935 errors referencing 0x80070BC9 (you're getting a 1935 error even though the iTunes installer doesn't return that error message number with the message) can be associated with having Windows Updates still stuck in the pipe, or pending completion until the PC restarts. Keep stocking up on the updates, restarting the PC whenever requested to do so. Once you're up to date, can you do the iTunes update?

ITunes error 42404 A required iTunes component is not installed.

Please repair or reinstall Quicktimes.
iTunes and library is stored on external hard drive connected to Dell PC
Windows XP. I made a shortcut on the desktop. Now all I get is this error message.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and repairing Quicktime on both the Dell and external hard drive.
What is going on here?
Thanks!

The last iTunes version that is compatible with Windows 2000 is 7.3
You need to download the windows 2000 version
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes732forwindows2000.html
Then uninstall all the iTunes related programs listed in this article which is actually for XP:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Then install the 2000 compatible iTunes.
If you get a message about a later version library when you try to start iTunes, you have to recreate the library from the xml file:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
I am afraid if you want iTunes 8 you will have to ugrade your operating system or get a new PC.

Pkg install fails - DW CC on Win 8.1

My department has created an installation package for DW CC. I run the .msi file and it tells me to close 2 things, Windows Explorer and some SQL program. I do that. The installation proceeds saying it's "gathering required info" and then "wait while Windows configures Windows" and then the bar graph rolls back and it ends without installing. There is no error message.
I've tried the second option that says a reboot will be required. Same result.
I don't have a "run as administrator" option.
Full Windows 8.1, not RT of course.
Thoughts?

Jeremyh35650713 do you receive any specific error messages? Have you tried utilizing the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application?
