Itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe

itunes install error message - program not found ...x64/difxinst64.exe
no problems with ITunes on Dell Inspiron Windows 7 until yesterday. ITunes version 11.0.2. iphone won't connect stating required software is not installed. uninstall and install 64 bit version of iTunes. I have 64 bit version already. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times already. When re-installing ITunes get error message c:\programdata\34be82c4-e596-4e99-a191-52c6199ebf6\x64\difxinst64.exe. file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. please install or create an association in the Default Programs control panel. iTunes install continues after the difxinst64.exe error message but then get the iphone cannot be used error message again. therefore, I can't sync my iphone with iTunes until I figure this out.
can't win for losing. had iTunes on my windows 7 laptop for 4 years. first time I've ever encountered this.

I am a PC Tech and had a customer with this issue. Ran across this post in my search and ended up finding the solution on my own. The problem isn't with the iTunes software but the installer for the GEARAspi drivers. Really the issues is with the file type asssociations in the windows registry. On the system I was working on the HKCR key for .exe should point to the exefile key but pointed to nothing. To fix it create a new txt document and paste the following in (only paste what is in between the [code][/code] tags):
[code]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[/code]
Now change the extension from .txt to .reg. Then right click and select merge. iTunes should now install properly.

Help!!! iTunes install error "Apple Mobile Device Service Failed To Start". Error 7 (Windows Error 193)

Help! Following a standard upgrade I got the error message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 193).
I am running Windows 7 and installing again brings the message "Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"
I have uninstalled everything Apple, deleted all related folders and run as administrator numerous times with no luck.
I had hoped that iTunes 12.1.2 would resolve the issue, unfortunately it failed to do so leaving me iTunes free which is driving me mad!
Can anyone advise what else I can do to resolve the error and bring back iTunes?
Thanks

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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version, or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

ITunes install error message, please help!

I have had ITunes installed on my laptop since before Christmas. This week I started getting a pop up message saying "ITunes was not properly installed, etc." Is there any easy way to fix this problem or do I need to uninstall and reinstall? If I go the un/reinstall route, will I lose all loaded and purchased music? Also, how to I keep my IPod from losing all the songs on it when I reconnect it for the first time? Thanks for any help!

hi floyd!
ITunes was not properly installed, etc."
what's the precise text of your error message? (there's a couple of different ones i'm thinking of that you might possibly be getting.)

Help! Itunes install error 7 (windows error 127)

trying to install itunes 10.5.1...having lots of trouble!
it seems to install, but whe I go to launch, I got this error message...
"The procedure entry point kCMByteStream notification_Available length changed could not be located on the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll", then when I close that I get another message saying "itunes wcs not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 127).
I have unistalled and reinstalled several times, to no avail..very frustrating! any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
Thanks

"The procedure entry point kCMByteStream notification_Available length changed could not be located on the dynamic link library CoreMedia.dll", then when I close that I get another message saying "itunes wcs not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 127).
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

HT1420 itunes install error in Vista

I (sadly) have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 and no matter what I try, I cannot install iTunes (9, 10, OR 11) successfully. I get an error that is very non-descript, stating my installation could not be completed. Period. No error number, nothing. Screenshot for your pleasure:
I have disabled my Norton Anti-Virus and "Smart Firewall" for the install, but that doesn't matter. And I tried re-installing. Same results.
Is there a way to view and shop at iTunes via my browser (IE8) without installing itunes program?
I thoroughly hate my operating system, and I only need to get onto iTunes to download the songs I want from the American show "The Voice".
It's very sad that there are people who cannot use their social media to vote for the contestants because iTunes and Vista64 aren't friendly.
Ok, aside from my rant, does anyone have direct links or help I can try?
Thanks!

However, when I attempt to open said file, I get this message: Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
Try doing a disk check on the drive that that file is located on.
Go "Start > Computer", select Properties, and in the Tools tab click "Error checking".
Does the disk check find/repair any damage? If so, does an iTunes install go through properly afterwards?

IPhone 3G 8GB Crashes when syncing with iTunes. URGENT HELP NEEDED.

I have latest iTunes and OS on my iPhone 3G...
Every time i plug my iPhone in it begins to sync and then iTunes will freeze and not respond..
I have tried re installing iTunes.. I can't reset my iPhone as i can't create a backup..
URGENT HELP NEEDED PLEASE!

I don't have an iphone, but if it's anything like my click-wheel ipod, a reset doesn't delete anything.
It just resets the ipod's operating system, kind of like a PC restart. Did you try this Sleep/Wake button thing mentioned here?

Maybe it's a podcast of voice memo causing the problem like it did for this person
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10907809#10907809
That's all I got. You might have better luck on an iPhone forum. Everyone there would probably have one. Like I said, I don't.

Installing error HELP

Ok, I have been going round and round with this. When I load my iTunes an error box pops up saying "iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's you need to reinstall iTunes." I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and can not get it to work. I've deleted from add/remove and even double checked the program files to make sure it's deleted. I've gone to add/remove and selected each application and clicked the repair button. The only one it doesn't work on is when I try to repair "Apple Moblie Device Support" when I try to repair it I get the message: "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" it looks as if this folder may have been deleted, how do I fix this???
thanks
rachel

With that one, let's try getting an iTunes 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 installing error????????????????

encountered a network error when trying to read from file C:\Windows\Installer\ApplesoftwareUpdate.msi.
holy what is this pops up evry time i try to install itunes and then the installer just close.
can any one help ?

hmmmmm. that's not an especially common error message.
okay, we'll try a strategy that can be helpful with other error messages referencing itunes.msi files.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?

ITunes install errors: MSVCR80.dll and Error 7 (windows error 126)

All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
and
2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
Thanks

ITunes tried to automatically update today and failed and then I was also getting the MSVCR80.dll error
After trying many things I finally removed all Apple software
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
I was then able to finally successfully install the latest version of iTunes and the software installed correctly and the error went away.
I hope this works for you as well.

ITUNES SHOWS ERROR AND NEED TO CLOSE

Hi,
itunes page shows error and need to close everytime I plug in the iphone to my desktop. why?

+"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."+
let's first check to see if this is associated with a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

Itunes Launch Error, HELP!!

I have tryed reloading and repairing the software but the problem persists. What should I do ?!?
HP Windows XP Media Center PC

that one is usually caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
the following document may be of some help:

Install Error HELP PLZ

1607: Unable to install Installsheild Scripting Runtime.
can someone please suggest something to sort this out i miss my music:'(

hi REIDO!

were you also getting a 1607 on the uninstall?
before diving into the standard documentation on the 1607, let's just check up on something. did you recently install an MS Security Hotfix? if so, check to see if this is relevant to your situation:

Quicktime help needed - I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed , Quicktime help needed? - I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed?

I have an Imac 800Mhz PPC G4 with OSX 4.11 installed, THANKS! Quicktime help needed?

Thanks for your kind reply Quicktime Kirk! Thanks in advance to anyone who replies to this as well. I have heard that what I need is an older Quicktime Version that allows for saving files, etc. But apple does not support it & I should look elsewhere - hence my appeal on this forum. Also, for some reason, when I try to upgrade to Quicktime Pro my browser (both Safari & Firefox) quits as I am about to complete my purchase. In any event, the real question is this: would the Quicktime Pro upgrade be compatible with my current system?

IPhone + iTunes + installing iQuiz - HELP

This is probably a really lame question, but gimme a break, I'm a Windows user.
I've had iTunes installed and in use on my computer for some time. Yes, I update it automatically. I purchased an iPhone this week and have thus far not had any problems sync'ing my iTunes songs, videos, podcasts, etc. HOWEVER
I purchased iQuiz on iTunes (a whopping $.99) and want to install it on my iPhone. Whenever my phone syncs it doesn't upload/install iQuiz.
I'm either completely stupid (i.e. I bought a game that won't work on an iPhone) or just really missing out on understanding how to install applications/games purchased from iTunes.
Help?

That's what I was afraid of! At least it only cost ninty-nine cents!! I'll keep it in case it will work with the new update(s) everyone is telling me about.
