ITunes installation stuck at 'Registering modules'

Hi can someone please help?
When I try installing iTunes on my SONY VAIO laptop.
It gets stuck as 'Registering modules'
I've tried several times, but no joy
I’ve just purchased ‘an easy to use’ ipod and I can’t use it, I’m not a happy shopper

I looked up troubleshooting tips from this site and followed them to a T. I did pretty much everything I could find that was suggested (disabling all antivirus and personal firewall measures, disabling all non-critical windows components/processes, clearing out temporary files, deleting/removing previous installations, etc.)
just doublechecking. do you have SpyCatcher installed on that PC? if so, have you tried uninstalling SpyCatcher altogether prior to the itunes install?

  • ITunes 7 Installation Stalls when "Registering Modules"

    This issue has been brought to attention in at least three other threads.

    One board member has already suggested installing Itunes 7 on another computer and importing the installed files directly onto the 'problematic system.'
    Unfortunantly, this doesn't work fo all. Therefore I am hoping that this thread becomes a 'ground central' for this problem. Has anyone tried anything else that works? Does anyone at Apple have any idea as to why the installation stalls at this point?
    Thanks,
    Argent

  • Installation hangs at "registering modules"

    I bought a brand new iPod (with a color display & video capabilities) to replace my old iPod. The new iPod came with no installation software - it said you needed to download it from the website. OK, fine, I can do that and did do that.
    I tried to install it. It hangs (aka: freezes) when it gets to the end of the installation, right at the "registering modules" portion. I looked up troubleshooting tips from this site and followed them to a T. I did pretty much everything I could find that was suggested (disabling all antivirus and personal firewall measures, disabling all non-critical windows components/processes, clearing out temporary files, deleting/removing previous installations, etc.)
    In the end: I still can't install iTunes, I still can't install iPod updater let alone use my brand new iPod. FWIW I'm not computer illiterate but I just /do not/ know what I'm doing wrong here.
    Suggestions and/or tips, please?
    Note: Crossposted here in correct forum, as suggested.

  • Installation hangs at Registering Modules phase

    I cannot install a newer version on itunes because I consistently hang up at the registering modules phase. Windows XP, newer machine. I ran an older version or itunes fine.

  • ITunes installation stuck at "Installing Apple Application Support"

    This is the first time I have tried installing iTunes since I recently bought an Apple product. Problem is, the installation gets stuck at the very beggining of the process. The progression bars stays empty no matter how long I leave the window open. The window won't even close when I try to cancel, I have to nuke everything via the task manager.
    I have Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit.

    Hi Ariel,
    I thank you for your post, but after following the guide I am still not able to install iTunes successfully
    Empty your Temp directory and restart- Done
    Completely remove iTunes and related components- Done
    Install the latest version of iTunes- Done (unsuccessful)
    Make sure you have administrator account access- I am using admin account
    Make sure your folder names don't contain strange characters- tried from desktop
    Do you have any other suggestions please?
    Thanks,
    Claysche

  • ITunes installer stuck at "publishing product information"

    I have been trying to install itunes for Win7 64 Bit for the past few days.
    I have - deleted all apple folders, uninstalled all apple products, restarted windows seven, disabled firewalls, resintalled. I get this error, it rolls back, then reinstalls successfully, but does not recognize my iPhone - defeating the purpose of me having itunes if I can't sync my phone.
    And then when it tries again - it errors and says Service (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify you have sufficient priveledges to start system services.

    We have the same problem over here and investigated that the source of this problem is not the iTunes setup itself furthermore it's the setup of the Mobile Device drivers ("AppleMobileDeviceSupport64") that raises the provided error.
    Maybe someone could work on a solution with this information.
    We'll follow this thread...

  • Crystal Report 2008 Installation Failed - Registering modules

    HI Folks
    I'm trying to install Crystal Report 2008 on XP Pro SP2. The installation stop on Registering Modules, even if I click Cancel,
    it does not do anything it just hang there. I have to kill the process in Task Manager. If I restarted the installation,
    it says that I have already an installtion process running. So I have to reboot and then restart the installation,
    now it says that it will continue a previous uncompleted installation. But it hangs again at Registering Modules.
    It does not even stop at the same file. I have done this process several time with always the same result.
    Each time it stops on a different file but always during the Registering Modules process.

    As well as that make sure you are a local PC administrator or belong to that group. Also check Microsoft's site to make sure you have the latest Microsoft Installer. I believe there is a test tool to check your PC.
    Do you know what version of CR 2008 you have? There should be a ProductId.txt file to confirm the version. SP 3 should fully support DEP so if you don't have it download it from this [link|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip].
    Then it should get past Microsoft's security. If it's your Anti-V as Stratos suggests then only option is to disconnect from the network and disable it, install and the reconnect.
    The other common registration issue is due to missing dependencies or possibly updated dependencies that CR found but can't use. Some of our dependencies are specific versions.
    Thank you

    After spending another two days on pinning down the iTunes 10.5 blank store page problem, here's the solution to be found: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3372617?start=0&tstart=0
    Look out for "japiohelp".
    In short:
    a) press Windows key + "R", enter "cmd", and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter (= runs as admin)
    b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
    c) reboot the computer
    and Bob's your uncle.

  • Itunes Install Crashes when it gets to Registering Modules status

    Appreciate any help someone could offer me on this. I've had the same thing happen several times. Every time I try to install the new version it gets stuck at this status. I can't figure what the problem is.
    I've gone to the Microsoft update page to make sure I had the most recent version of the service pack 4 and still it didn't finish the installation.
    Thanks for the help

  • Registering Modules Freeze on Installation??

    My computer always freezes at the Registering Modules portion of the installation of iTunes 7.2. After the incomplete installation I can open iTunes by opening a music file (I do get a box warns me that iTunes was not installed properly). It even seems to work fine, it plays music and tv shows and the iTunes store works too. The problem I am having with the incomplete installation is that I can't rip music from my CD's. Is there anyone out there who knows what I can do to finally get iTunes to install completely??
    Thanks!

    THANK YOU for pointing me in the right direction!! It was my SpyCatcher program that was the problem! I've been dealing with this for months! This is such a relief.

  • Upgrade failed...itunes wont start....hangs on registering modules

    have tried numerous times to complete installation, all fail at registering modules. cant uninstall previous because its not listed in add and remove programs. deleted itunes folder under program files since nothing else worked. this step didnt either.
    in task manager, noticed cpu useage is 100%. there are six instances of msiexec.exe running. four at 00 and two at 50 apiece.
    all antivirus and spyware programs disabled for install too.
    a simple "forced" upgrade to the latest version tonight and now itunes is lost and wont work.
    thanks apple.

    I've had exactly the same problem (in fact I always have a problem installing i-tunes) I've tried using the MS Installation Cleanup Utility, deleting the Quicktime files from my program files and System32 folders, turned of anti virus and anti spyware and it still didnt work...
    ...But after reading your post I noticed that I too had several instances of msiexec (four in my case). While the installation was still hanging on module registration, I opened task manager and shut down the processes, as soon as I did the registration completed!
    I know it's not too scientific but it worked. It may depend on the order in which you stop the processes - give it a go, it might just work.
