Itunes will not install - windows XP - no error

I spent several hours at a friends house last night trying to get itunes to download and install onto his XP machine. I did remove Spy Sweeper and disable all virus software. One time I did manage to get the download to 99% and then it stopped - all other times the download, Save or Run, would not even start - it would just sit. I deleted all itunes folders I could find. Very frustrating - any help would be appreciated

you said there was almost nothing on your computer. so it shouldn't be a big deal to back up any documents, and then perform a CLEAN install of windows. that should fix it. because if you think about it, everyone can't be having this problem or else you'd have heard something by now.
I did a quick search and found this site in just a few seconds:
http://lifehacker.com/software/ipod/hack-attack-add-music-and-movies-to-your-ipo d-from-any-computer-without-itunes-237986.php
It is an article about a freeware app that lets you add music (and video) to your ipod without itunes. i'm sure you could find a few more apps designed to rid you of itunes dependency with relative ease if you don't like this one. it said you had to enable your ipod as a portable hard drive, which can only be done from itunes as far as i know. i guess you could do that on someone else's computer.
i doubt anything will come close to working as well as itunes, though.
hope this helps!

TS4071 itunes will not install on my computer, error says msvcr80.dll is missing. i cannot get to the app store

trying to get to itunes via my pc as i have before in order to download an app...
i recently bought my wive a newly refurbished HP minidesktop and took her old computer...
I installed my 2 1TB drives and was off and running.
I renamed her computer. and retained my own owner name and was the adminstrator....
Yet apple does not identify this as the computer which my iphone4 was originally identified with (this may or may not be part of the problem)...
However, after downloading and running the itunes setup,
it runs for about two minutes
then tells me the external apple device is foreign to it
(i had my iphone4 plugged into a usb port,
and tells me to correct the situation. the retry loops back to that point again,
ignore does the same thing as cancel...leaves an itunes icon on the desktop.
double clicking on this tells me msvcr80.dll is missing.
Help.

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 (if this won't uninstall press on)
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.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

ITunes will NOT install (and presents no errors either...)

Had iTunes on the machine, had to uninstall it for some reason.
Trying to put iTunes back on, so I downloaded the latest version (32bit just like my Win7) directly from Apple, and when I double click on iTunesSetup.exe, the mouse pointer goes busy for a short time, and then NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS.
No errors or any other clues or information.
Here is what I have tried:
-running chkdsks on all drives
-removing all apple software on machine
-removing iPod device from Devices
-trying to install different versions of iTunes or iTunes from different sources
-uninstalling my security and antivirus programs
-Edit: Also, yes, I did Run As Administrator
No matter what I do, nothing happens. I can see the iTunesSetup.exe process show up in the Processes tab of the Task Manager for one second, before it quietly vanishes again.
What should I do? I NEED iTunes for my iPod Touch.
How can I get iTunes installed?
Running a very nice Quad Core machine with a GTX285, windows 7 RC.

Go it done. The key appears to have been UTTERLY removing EVERYTHING - even going so far as to delete every iTune folder under Users/Local, LocalLow, and Roaming, and Programs Files, and clearing out all Temp files.
Thanks!

You probably need to either uninstall and reinstall itunes or to download the apple application support by itself
you can download the itunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/ here
then to do a complete uninstall / reinstall follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
you could also use 7zip to extract the individual installer for apple application support from the itunes setup file http://www.7-zip.org

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

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.

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.)
