ITunes unable to install/uninstall/Windows installer utility-- DESPERATE!!*

I have had this issue for MONTHS now and I have (no overexaggerating) looked up on this entire discussion board, looked at microsofts discussion board, called apple, and taken my computer to the Geek Squad at Best Buy and no one could help me.
I try to download iTunes versions 10 and higher and everytime it has the error message about Windows does not have the program needed to install, please contact your vendor. And I know I need the Windowns installer, but I cannot find it anywhere on the internet without getting a 404 error from where it's been removed. I really need a straight, direct answer. I have been having this issue since OCTOBER. I really want to have iTunes again and put music on my iTouch and iPhone.
I have Windows Vista, 64 bit.
Please, I've tried everything, and talked to everyone.

What's the precise text of the message please, alexis? There's a couple of different ones that I can think of on a 64-bit system that you might be getting.

  • Itunes will not install..windows INSTALLER service not available.windows 7

    I am trying to find a fix for this...just bought a new computer with windows 7, all updates have been performed. Itunes will not install...it just stops and says "windows installer service not available" Can't find a stand alone downloadable version of installer 5.0 which is what comes with 7 from the research I have done. I have the newest version of itunes saved on desktop, tried running it from desktop, tried running as admin, tried several other ideas that I found on here and Microsoft..but nothing is working. Any advice?

    Same error message "This version is for a 32 bit computer, yours is a 64 bit!"
    Doublechecking ... by any chance did you migrate a 32-bit version of the iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support and Bonjour programs to the 64-bit machine from a 32-bit machine using the PC Mover utility?
    (Your symptoms are consistent with that ... the installer service throws the message when trying to uninstall the 32-bit itunes and related 32-bit componentry prior to installing the new 64-bit versions.)

  • TS1717 Trying to download iTunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    Trying to download itunes onto PC installed with windows vista. Download keeps getting to 99% with 1 second remaining and then freezes / does nothing? Any help appreciated.

    I solved the problem! The updates orignally were downloaded to the C: drive of the server. I've since moved them to the E: drive and for some reason the Content folder in IIS didn't change the file path to the new WSUScontent folder.
    The root cause for this was failing to use the UTILITY designed for this very purpose.
    I edited the virtual directory settings in IIS and was able to put the correct path in.
    You still need to use the UTILITY.. to fix all the other stuff you're still missing.
    In the %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\Tools folder...
    WSUSUTIL MOVECONTENT E:\WSUS E:\WSUS\MoveContent.LOG -SKIPCOPY
    This problem was caused by moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.
    No. This problem was caused by IMPROPERLY moving the WSUS updates to a different local drive.

  • Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

    Any one had this issue
    Itunes will not install on windows 7 home

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

    Hello db133,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that you're unable to open iTunes after installing it due to an error with the Apple Application Support.  I see that you've gone through and reinstalled multiple times, but there are specific steps for removing and reinstalling iTunes which I think would help resolve this issue.  Those steps are found in the article linked to below.

  • TS5376 is there a fix for iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows installation problem?

    I tried the fix in "TS5376: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open" but problem remains. We have the same issue on my dauther's PC (Windows 7 also). iTunes can't open and configure correctly.

    Hey MichelHebert,
    When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow these steps below? This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    from: Step 1 of Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Let us know if uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Take care,
