    Presuming that doesn't help, go ahead and remove it per that article you found, but just backup your registry first, just to be safe:

    Hi there, i had the exact same problem and posted a thread a few above yours, and these forums wasnt much help nobody replied, so i did a bit of research and followed all the intructions on this site: http://www.gearsoftware.com/cfknowledgebase/articledisplay.cfm?articleid=296
    If you follow the steps very carefully and do as each says, this will solve your problem.. Now i am very happy i can actually install iTunes and use it for my iPod.
    Remember to be carefully with the steps as the things you will be deleting are very important to your comp.

  • Installing 7.2. Says "Unable to install the gear driver set at this time...

    Hello, Im trying to Install ITunes 7.2, and I get this error:
    "Unable to install the gear driver set at this time. The GEARAspiWDM service use by the GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted during the next system reboot. Please reboot the system and run itunes again"
    I am installing ITunes for the very first time on my comp, cuz I just received a new 2GB Nano.
    I've tried rebooting,tried uninstalling my Quicktime and removing it from my comp, uninstalled and cleaned any remnants of previous ITunes using the windows cleaner, disabling both my mcafee and pccillin, and it still comes up with the error.
    I'd be indebted to any suggestions or resolutions!
    Thank you!

  • "Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time...."

    Hello, I have been having trouble installing iTunes. I uninstalled it because I wasn't able to put songs on my iPod. And when I tried to reinstall it, I got this error:
    "Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. The GEARAspiWDM service use by the GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted during the next system reboot. Please reboot the system and run iTunes again"
    First off, I don't even have iTunes installed any more. Second, I don't know what the heck the GEAR driver is.
    Please help!

    It requires editing the registry so be careful.

  • "Unable to install the GEAR driver set." in Vista Premium solution!

    If you're getting the "Unable to install the GEAR driver set." error, go into regedit, navigate to HKEYLOCALMACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesGearAspiWDM and delete the DeleteFlag key. Run the iTunes upgrade/setup package and iTunes should install correctly.
    If you get an error about explorer.exe being open, use the Tasks section of Task Manager to stop the explorer.exe application.

    Is this 64 or 32 bit Vista?

    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. 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.
