ITunes won't install on Vista

Hi, I'm having real trouble installing iTunes. I've been using it for years, and tried to update around Christmastime, but that failed. Ever since, the programme won't open. I uninstalled iTunes, and tried to reinstall it now, but the error message I got was...
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version=28.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fd8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800706BE.
I'm not a computer expert by any means, can someone explain what's happening? I'm sick of Spotify to listen to music on my computer, and having an unupdated phone!
If it helps, I have the other error message from a while back saved, but let me know if you need it..
Thank you.

I too have Vista, the evil entity, and not only can I not re-install itunes, but it has also disabled my 3 month old iphone and does not recognize the usb hook up, please tell me that there is a resolution for this. Mine all started with just trying to manage some files on my iphone through my pc, like I have done before without any problems. I received a message asking me to perform an update, I stupidly clicked ok, this is when my trouble began. The update failed and it then requested that I restore, stupidly again I did, and received this message:
"The iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred 1603" I then noticed that my screen on my iphone was in a frozen state and had a picture of the usb cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes icon on it. (the phone was never disconnected during updating, so it was not user error) I attempted again, it requested a connection and diagnostics check, both passed without any problems. I tried again, yes gluten for punishment, and same occurrences but received an error log. I called Apple and they ran me through different rebooting methods both with the phone itself and my pc, nothing worked. Then tech then had me uninstall apple itunes and quicktime programs and associated files and try re-installing, this again did not work and now I have nothing. Apple is stating that it is a windows problem, which with Vista, I would not doubt!
And here are some of the other error messages I have received:
that it cannot complete download because of "unknown publisher" and doesn't have "valid digital signature"
in Re to the "apple synch notifier ": "this application has failed to start because a CoreFoundation.dll was not found, please try re-installing" (no disc ever provided, so I can't do that)
In Re to the driver: Apple needs to reinstall driver software for your apple mobile device, with one of the choices being locate driver software...windows will lead you through process or please insert disc (again no disc provided, cannot comply and it cannot locate on web when attempted)
If anyone can help with this I would greatly appreciate it. I am just a general user and have spent countless hours yesterday and today trying to resolve this.
you can email me privately too at [email protected] with any help or suggestions. Thanx again!

ITunes won't install on Vista x64

I've got a Vista x64 system that crashed a while ago. I've succesfully recovered all of my other programs except for itunes and quicktime. I have tried to uninstall them with a few programs and then reinstalled, but then whenever I try to run it I get a "iTunes has stopped working" message. Any advice?

It says you need to re-register the DLL.
All I did was google the error message you got -
+The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.+

How were you able to download a lite version of I Tunes? I would like to try that. My error message is "the older version of Bonjour cannot be removed". I tried some of the other post's solutions and still in a holding pattern. Originally, I deleted and a Jukebox account. Once I did that, I lost my I tunes. Any help would be appreciated.

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. AMDS won't uninstall

Itunes won't install. I've tried to uninstall itunes and all apple software so that I can install the latest version. But it won't let me uninstall apple Mobile Device Support. Can anybody help? How do I get iTunes back? Whenever I try to install the latest version it gets stuck just after checking the AMDS.

There is no text error message. The install of itunes just freezes on the "Checking Space Requirements" bit (which is immediately after it checks AMDS.
Hmmmm. Possibly a disk/file damage issue there, tom. If so, running a chkdsk over your C drive might help.
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. 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?

Perhaps first try a complete uninstall/reinstall as per the following document:

... but if no joy there, check on your .NET framework as per the following document:

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.

ITunes won't install. PLEASE. HELP. URGENT.

iTunes won't install. My PC got reformatted. Now, I can't install iTunes. I've been trying to install it for like 3 months now, then it still won't. I've tried to remove it completely, following the guidelines Apple has given. AND ALMOST EVERYTHING.
Then the other day, I was really really happy that I got it installed, I removed AVG Anti-virus from the PC and turned off ThreatFire. I thought that was the end of my problem, then yesterday, when I opened iTunes it won't work again! So I tried to re-install it, following every guideline. Still, it won't install! In the installing process, around "Registering iTunes automation server", I ALWAYS get the message "Some of its required files are missing. Please re-install."
I REALLY DO NEED YOUR HELP.

Describe what happens when you try to open iTunes - do you see anything? If there is an error message give it in full.
If there is no error message open the task manager (ctrl alt del) and look on the processes tab, do you see iTunes.exe there and does it stay there.
Try opening Quicktime - does that work normally, iTunes cannot work if QUicktime doesn't. If it doesn't work, describe what happens and give any error message.

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 OS 10.3. Will Tiger 10.4 run it?

My PowerMac G4 is running Panther 10.3.9. I have a 733 MHz processor. iTunes won't install nor can I view any videos. If I go to Youtube the system crashes. Some sites tell me I need a flashplayer upgrade, but it won't install. An Apple tech told me to upgrade to Leopard 10.5 and it would solve my problems. My understanding is that Leopard 10.5 needs 867MHz to run. If I upgrade to Tiger 10.4 will that solve any of my problems?

Hello marwhi,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion forums!
Yes, OS 10.3.9 cannot run the latest iTunes 9. You will need at least Mac OS 10.4.11 and above to run it. Your problem with YouTube may just be with your browser if you are using Safari. For now you might want to try Camino 1.6.9 and see if you have any better luck. Camino 1.6.9 tends to be a slightly more updated version of browser than the last version of Safari that runs on 10.3.9 Panther. If you do upgrade to Tiger 10.4.11 though you would be able to use a more updated version of Safari which will "play" nicer with sites such as YouTube and Google etc.
Hardware and software system requirements for iTunes 9 can be found at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
And here are the "Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger System Requirements". You will need to purchase a "full retail" version of Tiger 10.4 install discs from a third party reseller such as on ebay etc. and the discs tend to sell for a premium these days. General idea of price can be seen by going to ebay and searching for "full retail 10.4 Tiger install" and then clicking on the "Completed Auctions" link in the left column. This should give your a good idea of what they tend to sell for on the resale market when available. Do not purchase machine specific or "upgrade" discs.

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?
