Itunes won't install on updated windows XP

for a long time i had itunes working on my computer (windows XP), but all of a sudden when i went to upgrade it, it said i didnt have the proper windows installation. I went back and updated everything from Microsoft's website, but it still wont work. Now when i try to open itunes it said there is a component not installed, and it said there is a problem with the Quick Time player (-42404), so i repaired that, but i still cant install itunes back on my computer....
i know you need the SP 2 or better, and the most updated windows system is only SP1, but i got that a day after itunes wouldn't install on my computer.... please help... i rly want my music back...

nvm i got it lol
i just had to delete/uninstall all my itunes stuff (except for the songs on my back up drive)
it still said there was sumthin wrong with the windows installer, but in the end it all worked

If iTunes has been previously installed, I would recommend completely uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified in the article below. Once this is done, attempt a download and install iTunes.

I can't seem to get iTunes to install install on my PC. I've tried various versions and none get past the part where Bonjour is installed. I've followed various posts, reset install folder permissions etc, but none of this works.

New 2014 itunes won't install on my windows 7 64bit

Don't mean to beat a dead horse (if I am) though I've since spent too much time on trying to fix this amid this CESSPOOL of advertising known as Google/the internet. I just want my itunes, to work, rip cd's etc. IE7 64 bit, pc a few yrs old.... what are my choices? What are the true answers? Running MacAvee, CCCleaner, Malwarebytes....
suggestions appreciated

Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Itunes won't install on my windows xp pc

it saying C:\program file\Itunes\itunes.Resources\en_GB.Iprovj\GeniusDone.nib\objects.xib. verify that you have access to that directory.
How do i fix this? Please help!

If you're getting an error-message-free iTunes launch error, and the iTunes.exe is making a brief-if-any appearance in Task manager, we'd better check for a QuickTime problem.
Try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does iTunes start launching again?

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.

HT1926 iTunes won't install everything it needs to run. I remove it from my computer and reinstall it and it keeps saying it. I am using Windows 7 and the latest update from iTunes.

Error 7 (Windows error 193) iTunes won't install correctly.

Perhaps first try a complete uninstall/reinstall as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
... but if no joy there, check on your .NET framework as per the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes

Itunes won't install. I get a message stating "apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services. I had itunes on this laptop and an urgrade came. Now nothing. Windows7, 64 bit

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 move on to the next item)
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 won't install I keep getting "The installer has insuficient privileges to modify this file: C:\programFiles\iPod\Acknowledgements.rtf." it comes up if I try to uninstall iTunes as well.

iTunes won't install on my PC after using it for several years, now I get the following error message; "The installer has insuficient privileges to modify this file:C:\programFiles\iPod\Acknowledgements\rtf." I get the same error message if I try to uninstall iTunes as well. I am the only user of this computer and am the administrater.

ITunes won't install. Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft

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?

ITunes won't install on my Toshiba - it used to have iTunes!

iTunes won't install. It used to have iTunes, but I cleared it off when I thought I no longer needed the computer (big mistake). Now it's my only computer and I want iTunes back, but when I try to install it it reads "This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows installer package. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer Service."
Now, how do I do that? I tried faffing about with installing this and that yesterday, but none of it seemed to work. I'm a stupid girl with no computer skills - I need definitive instructions!

Now, see, I did try that. My computer is now happily updating itself where it wasn't before, but still the same message. I also went and searched Google for a 'Windows Service Pack 2', which lead me to the microsoft site, which gave me the option of downloading the service pack. "Oh good!" I thought, "This will be fixed in no time!"
Wrong.
I downloaded said service pack, tried to run it and it too decided not to work. It sprung up a message that was something like "There is nothing on your computer that needs this pack" or something like that.
Is my computer just so old that it's beyond saving? It is far older than a laptop should be, I know. I bought it in 2003. (I'd also like to point out that I'm not daft, I DID have a brand new laptop - which decided it didn't fancy having a working motherboard anymore. Clearly my ancient Toshiba is far more reliable.)

Itunes won't start up in Windows 7

iTunes won't start up in WIndows 7. Double click on it and it looks like it is going to start but nothing happens...

I am having the same problem. I didnt have quicktime on my computer, so i downloaded that and still not opening. I have re-installed it 3 times, restarted my computer multiple times. try'd launching in compatable mode (95,xp,and vista), tried running as admin, and have tried restoring previous versions,and now even those wont start. It was working fine, untill i installed the new update 2 days ago. i think it was update 11.0.1, im pretty sure i had 11.0.0
Any other suggestion?
