ITunes on Win 7 wont install

Hi guys.
I downloaded the latest iTunes and it wont install.
Im running Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. When i downloaded the 64bit version i got a msg saying that its not a valid win32 app????
I then downloaded it again with the same issue.
When i installed a earlier version that i used on my 32bit system it worked but i cant rip my cd's.
Ayn ideas??

Hello;
I also had trouble installing iTunes on Windows 7, but 32 bit.
It looks like maybe you are trying to install iTunes 64 bit on 32 bit machine or version of Windows, as it is looking for a valid Win32 app?
You might want to verify the version of Windows you are running, and whether your machine is correctly configured for 64 bit.
Here is an account of my trouble, and my suggestions for installing iTunes on any Windows 7 machine:
First, I found that the setup would freeze when it was almost done. The last screen, the progress bar would freeze about 3/4 of the way through.
I found that, after stopping the process in Task Manager, that iTunes was installed, and ran properly. So, it was only the install program that had frozen, after it had completely installed iTunes.
I did run the setup in compatibility mode for Vista SP2, and ticked the run as admin box.
I think that there are issues with iTunes (32 and 64 bit) on Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) but Apple doesn't seem to want to address this. I have yet to see an acknowledgment from Apple on this problem.
What I recommend, is this:
Before attempting to install iTunes, create a system image (not just a restore point) so that you can restore your system if and when iTunes messes up your system.
Make sure you are logged into your computer as admin or a user that has admin privs.
Run the iTunes setup program with the "run this program as administrator" box ticked.
Try running with compatibility for Vista SP2.

Itunes 10.4 wont install

Itunes 10.4 wont install. The installer goes through the motions and then has a fatal error. Have re-downloaded it three times and still not working. Have seen this issue raised on non apple forums, but not with any decent fixes (other than go to to a genius bar) ..... I would like an 'official' apple fix for the problem.

That's why we didn't buy iPods as media players.
If we knew more about your computer hardware we could make recommendations. It's either return the iPods or upgrade your operating system to at least Leopard so you can run iTunes 10.
To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number.

Itunes 10.3 wont install...tried about 5 times...help?

For some reason, after trying to upgrade my old version of itunes the new version wont fully install. I get 'error 7" almost every single time, or i get "itunes has not full installed" then it goes away...like it uninstalls itself?
I have just downloaded the 64 bit thinking that might be the problem, but this is what i got instead...
"The version of this file is not compatible with the versio of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64 bit) version of the program, and then contach the software publisher. "
I have a dell inspiron 1420 laptop. no virus's, running on windows xp i think....cant really remember and not sure how to check.
Please help?

Many thanks.
Both the error 7 and the error 2 suggest that there's some damage to your Apple Application Support. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different apple programs are stashed.)
Let's try the procedure from the following post:

ITunes 9.2 wont install fully, DVD driver not Windows compatible?

I have tried to install the 9.2 version of iTunes several times but everytime it ends up with an incomplete installment. I keep getting an error message telling me the digital signature for the CD/DVD driver isn't designed for Windows and wont install. The rest installs fine but when I open iTunes I get told the software hasn't installed properly and wont work if I want to import or burn DVDs.
I'm not sure if this is related to the installation problems but when I try and activate my iPhone (4g) the iTunes doesn't recognize the phone. It doesn't show up at all.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?

It could be related. A snarl-up in device filters in the registry can cause issues with both optical drives and USB connections (for example).
My suspicion here is that you've got damaged GEAR drivers for iTunes, and they are interfering with your attempts to install iTunes.
Perhaps try a manual uninstall of ther GEAR drivers (quit iTunes first):

I am running WINDOWS XP and I get the same message as ITunes 10.6.1. installs. "A program required for this install to complete could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor." The installation then terminates itself.
The message comes up while installing my current edition ITunes 10.3 with QuickTime, but the program seems to ignore this message and completes the installation.
What program is missing so that ITunes can be installed without any problems?

Itunes and Quicktime wont install

When I tried to update my iTunes and Quicktime recently, it succesfully downloaded, began installing, and once the progress hit Quicktime, and error showed "an older version of quicktime cannot be removed." Now the issue is, that before this happened, the update had already removed the older version of iTunes. However, it was unable to install the newest version due to this quicktime issue. So here I sit. Help?
-D

once the progress hit Quicktime, and error showed "an older version of quicktime cannot be removed."
Most probably that's an issue with the installation database in the QuickTime.msi file.
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we need to hunt down a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for *at least version 3.0* of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 9.2 again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

and if i remove itunes totally will i lose all of my music?
thanks joe

Hello Razorbacksfan88,
First, in order to check which version of iTunes is installed, launch iTunes and from the Help Menu, choose "About iTunes." This will show you which version is installed. If it is not 8.0.2.20, and you did not get any specific error messages when installing iTunes, then try the steps in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
Removing and reinstalling iTunes will not remove your music. The music is stored in your User's folder (or on whatever drive you have your music stored on) and is separate from the program itself.
If you follow the article and are getting any error messages not mentioned there, post the entire error message here and it will help isolate the cause of the issue.

Itunes 7.0 wont install !!!!!!!!

I tried to install itunes 7.6 for WXP and then it popped up:
itunes installer completed.
Installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured.
To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Any comments or answers??

make sure that you have administrative priviledges on your computer to change information used on your computer. if you can, log ino the account that itunes was originally installed on, that way you can uninstall the itunes and reinstall it again and you shouldnt get that error again. hope this helps!

Itunes exe file wont install

Hi,
Two days ago I formatted my pc (Windows 7 Professional 32bit) & have been going through the process of downloading & installing various programmes online. I've installed half a dozen or so & have got to iTunes. Visited apple.com to download the latest version, but everytime I double click, or 'run as adminastrator, nothing happens..?
Restarted PC, turned off firewall & done Windows update, numerous times now & still nothing.
I finally had the bright idea of downloading Quicktimeinstaller, which was no problem, this then presented me with the option to download iTunes. This I did but the file gets half way through the download & I get "iTunes has an invalid signature. It will not be installed"
I'm pulling my hair out now, can anyone help? I have no previous iTunes installed as hard drive was wiped & every other program I've downloaded has istalled 1st time.
Many thanks

OK after hours of my time & a significant loss of hair, I've managed to download it...!!!!
All I did was went to:
http://http://www.dkszone.net/itunes-10-1-download-supports-ios-4-2-airplay
and downloaded iTunes 10.1 (older version) this came down as the normal setup.exe file and installed to my PC, as soon as you open and run this version of iTunes it will inform you of an updated version 10.6. Just hit the install and go...
IT WAS THAT SIMPLE
I hope this will help others NOT to waste precious time, as I did..!
