ITunes not installing- Stuck on Installing Apple Application Support

I have been using iTunes for a number of years and I have never had any problems installing it.
Now I am trying to install the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 64bit version and I have a problem.
he installer starts and there is no progress. It is stuck on Installing Apple Application Support.
Thanks

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

    Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1.  Apple Application Support was not found.  Error 2.  Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work.  Is there a fix?

    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.)

    Hi texasslagle,
    It sounds like you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 7 PC, a frustrating situation I am sure.
    There is an article that you may want to use to try to complete your install here -

  • Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found

    Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found.  What is the fix for this?

    It is always these four updates that fail.  I've tried downloading and installing them seperately from apple downloads.  I've tried various recommended fixes, and nothing I can figure out works.  Before these problems, itunes worked on the computer for a year.
    Thank you again for wanting to help me.

    When trying to download the latest version of iTunes, I receive the following error "Apple Application Support was not found", any suggestions?

    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.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

  • I tried updating to itunes 10.5 and now when i try to open itunes i get a message saying "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2)

    Ok so I went to update my itunes 9 to itunes 10.5 and now I get and error message "Apple application support was not found" error 2 (windows error 2) when ever I try to run itunes and iv been trying to fix this for like a month and let me tell you iTunes for windows is **** and I really want Icloud for my iphone 4 and yes iv tried uninstalling everything by apple in the correct order and reinstalling them after restart atleast honestly 20 - 30 times but nothing worked so if anyone can please help me I have windows 7 and a hp intel pentium computer 

    Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

    If your problem is only w/iTunes, you really should re-post over in the iTunes for Windows forums instead of the iPod forums. 

  • I can't use itunes because I don't have apple application support

    I have recently got I new laptop, and I wished to transfer all my itunes libraries to my new laptop from my old. I plugged in my iPhone 3GS into my new computer, having not previously downloaded the latest update for either iTunes (on my old laptop) or my iPhone, the new laptop did it instantly. Therefore, it never gave me the option of transferring my purchases, which is what I had planned on doing, so I lost all my music and apps. However, I had my photos and contacts etc, and my music and apps were still on my old laptop, so I set up home share, and now have my library on both laptops, but cannot get my apps there and cannot get my library from my new laptop to my iPhone. So, not sure of what to do, I plugged my iPhone  back into my old computer, which had the older version of iTunes, unlike my new laptop. ITunes then told me that I had to uninstall it and then reinstall it because it was the older version. I misread this stupidly, and dowloaded the newer version, which annoyingly didn't even download properly. So, after re-reading the message that came up when I plugged in my iPhone, I looked up on the apple website how to uninstall and reinstall iTunes etc, and it told me I had to uninstall a number of programmes, inlcuding Apple Application support, I wasn't 100% sure why I had to do this, but i thought it would be best if i followed the instructions, and so I erased that from my old laptop, and tried reinstalling itunes. After several attempts, iTunes wasn't even downloading, but eventually it worked, however, upon opening the programme, I recieve a message telling my to uninstall itunes and reinstall it because there is no Apple Application Support, so i do this but to no avail, the same message appears. I have tried installing Quick Time because I read on a website that it would help, but this also had no effect, I really need to get my music and apps back onto my phone, but without iTunes I don't know how! Help!

    Download iTunes to a computer, connect the device, and restore as new.

  • Unable to install iTunes to vista..getting msg that "Apple Application Support was not found" ..."Apple application Support is required to use iTunes. Please uninstall...again" etc.

    Weird, is that is a good word. I have uninstalled, done a complete removal using a data removal program and still cannot
    install.

    Went to M'Sft and selected FIX IT, then after that program found the iTunes app which would not install properly, selected RUN as Administrator and now everything is installed properly and working.
    Just a note to those who may have had any problems.
