Hello, Welcome to discussions.
To recap what was asked before. If you could post more information about your OS and system. Example below
Windows XP Home or Pro - What service Pack?
Windows Vista 32 bit or 64 bit - What service Pack?
*You can obtain this information by right clicking on My Computer or Computer and selecting properties.
If you are running Windows Vista there are currently two versions available for the OS
-32 bit iTunes - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
-64 bit iTunes - http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_0_2_for_Windows_64bit
*Also if you have Vista. When you go to install iTunes you can right click on the iTunes Setup File and run as administrator. You may also wish to turn User Access Control off for the moment to attempt to install iTunes. This can be accessed via
-Control Panel - User accounts - Turn User access control on/off and uncheck the box and reboot. Repeat steps but check box and reboot to re-enable the service.

Itunes won't install due to problem with package.

I went to upgrade my itunes to the 7.3.2 and it froze in the middle of it. I restarted my computer and then my itunes won't show up nor download. I tried to use the apple installer and it gets most of the way through when the following message appears: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330." I have tried installing the program on it's own using tools--> download only and that did not work. I also tried using a different user account and that also did not work. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am using a PC and have windows XP. Thank you.

Hi Royb,
first i excuse myself for my english...its not too bad but sometimes i make mistakes... however
perhaps you can help me with my problem as well. i did the log file as well and i suppose its something to do with the ipod functions in itunes. everywhere in the logfile where the pattern "2330" matches is something like this:
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Note: 1: 2330 2: 23 3: C:\Programme\iPod
MSI (c) (A0:08) [21:33:37:187]: Transforming table Error.

ITunes won't open due to Quicktime error

I recently updated iTunes, and iTunes won't open. It says
"Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
Well, I tried redownloading iTunes and just the latest Quicktime, but I keep getting the message.
I tried clearing my temp files but nothing else will work. Do I have to uninstall iTunes completely, and if so, what do I do about my library?

"Quicktime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
let's try swapping out your QuickTime again. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

ITunes won't install due to package problem - Error 2330

I tried to install iTunes 8 yesterday for the first time and when I launched the Apple Installer and it gets most of the way through when the following message appears: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2330."
I ran the installer again and created a log file of the install process if that could help someone?!?!
Any information would be greatly appreciated. This is my first time dealing with Apple as I received an iPod Touch as a gift the other day and now cannot connect it to get it working!
I am using a PC and have Windows Vista Home Premium.
Thank you.

There is a list of WIndows installer errors here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372835.aspx
2330 is: Error getting file attributes
Often with error, a file name is mentioned - sometimes there is a corrupt file.
It is worth running a disk check to see if a filing system error shows up.
If nothing shows up and you can identify the problem file, sometimes renaming if or containing folder, assuming it is within an iTunes related folder.
Otherwise, if no file was mentioned, maybe you could search through the log file for error messages or 2330 to see if anything shows up that may indicate what the problem is.

I have just tried to update my iTunes to version 11.1.4 and now I get an error and iTunes won't install. I get error code 7.

I have tried to upgrade my iTunes to version 11.1.4. Now I get an error code 7 and can't access iTunes at all. The message says there was a failure to install. I tried to go back to previous version, but that doesn't work, either. Any ideas?

Re: itunes won't install due to problem with package.

I've been having a similar problem--
Here are the exact words: "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2908." fyi, the message came up just after the installer began "updating component registration," if that is of any use. I've tried re-downloading it and restarting the computer. I've tried what the customer service reps told me which was to stop the iPod service and the apple mobile device service during installation but i couldn't find "apple mobile device" on the list. so i tried just stopping "iPod service". that didn't work. please, please help I am at my wit's end with this.

ITunes won't install due to quicktime

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, however i cannot install itunes on my computer anymore. Everytime i try it tells me that my version of quicktime is too new! i have quicktime version 7.2, trying to install itunes 8.1 and if i uninstall everything, the iTunes install freak out too!
I am totally confused! Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
thanks

badalki,
I take it your not using Apple Update, Correct? If so What you could try doing is uninstall Quicktime and then try and install both from the stand alone installer found: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Hope that helps.

ITunes won't install on my system: error during installation of assembly

Hey everyone. I've been living a nightmare for the past month. I tried to upgrade my system to Windows7 x64 and had major CPU problems. After nearly a month of trying to fix it, I decided to go back to Vista x64. That solved my CPU problem, but now I can't get iTunes to load!
Here the error message I get during installation:
An error occurred during installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32"version="8.0. 50727.762",processArchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424
Any ideas??

Doublechecking something, paradox. Head into your Windows Update and have a look at your Update History. Have updates also been failing for you? If so, what error code shows up for the failed updates?
(Doubleclick the failed updates to see a small window with more information, including the error codes.)

Itunes won't install update to recognize my iphone comes up with a error cannot find Itunes.msi

my itunes won't instal the update errors saying cannot find itunes.msi

Hi, kdub5.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you can not update iTunes due to a .msi error. I would recommend uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components as outlined in the first article below. For any component that gives you the .msi error, go through the steps in the second article below.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when you remove Apple software in Windows
Cheers,

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.

iTunes won't install.
Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft
Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this?

I am the administrator, so this can't be a rights problem. The error message says "error writing to file c:\program files\apple software update\softwareupdate.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory".
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, as per the following document:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
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?
