ITunes wont install on Windows 2000

i have been trying to get iTunes to install on my computer for a few weeks now and have not been able too. I took my computer to Best Buy to have them install it and they said that the reason it wont install is because i have alot of spyware and virus, they wanted to charge me $80 to get rid of them so i told them thanks but no thanks.
I was hoping that someone out there can tell me which spyware or virus is blocking the installtion of iTunes and how i can get rid of it, i downloaded spybot and updated my norton but i still cant get iTunes to load please someone help me find and destory the programs so i can get iTunes loaded!!!
Thanks
Goody

hiya!
updated my norton but i still cant get iTunes to load
is that Norton Internet Security 2005? are you getting absolutely no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch your itunes?
if so, let's also try giving the trusty Lorraine M technique a whirl:

    HELP!! Itunes wont install on Windows 7.  I get an error msg. there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required to install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor. WHAT NOW?

    Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat. 
    Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
    Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
    It works now BUT there are still problems.  It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn.  Looking still for this fix.

  • Itunes wont install on windows 8

    the itunes installer says there are errors when loading itunes and says to try the installer again.  I looked at other threads which instructed me to run as an administrator.  I did this but come up with the same results.  Is there another fix for this?

  • ITunes wont install on windows 7

    When i try to install iTunes 10.5 on my Laptop with windows 7, i get an error message and then it just rolls back and asks me to try agin but it still doesnt work. can anyone help?

    Try following steps:
    1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
    http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
    2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
    3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

  • ITunes wont install on Windows 8 Pro x86, "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured."

    Installer is being run as admin. Bonjour service is installed and running.
    The lack of information is a bit frustrating... nothing in event viewer that I can see..

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Itunes wont install on windows xp pro x64

    right then i am having issues installing itunes on win xp x64
    the installer goes all the way then i get the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" message then when i send the information i get a link saying "Solution found: contact Apple Computer to obtain the update
    Problem description
    Thank you for submitting an error report. The error was likely caused by:
    iTunes
    Solution
    iTunes was created by Apple Computer. Apple Computer informed Microsoft that they have a solution available for the problem you reported. To learn more about the solution, Apple Computer recommends that you visit the following website:
    Go Apple Computer
    Additional information
    * Microsoft did not create, nor does it provide technical support for iTunes.
    * If you have trouble installing the fix or the problem you reported persists, please contact Apple Computer and alert them of the problem"
    thing is this was the latest downloadable link i have a txt file that lists all the model exceptions etc but its massive didnt want to post here. can any one advise me on if itunes infact can work on the win xp x64 enviroment?

    hi timski!
    "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
    the first thing i check for with one of those is a broken Quicktime. does your quicktime currently launch, or do you get an error message when you try to launch it?
    if you get an error message when you try to launch Quicktime, try a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
    keep us posted.
    love, b

  • ITunes 7 won't install on windows 2000 (network error) but iTunes 6 works

    Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. I have been trying for almost a week to download the "Idol gives back" videos but I'm not able to with iTunes 6. Says I have to upgrade...sounds easy enough, so I download Itunes 7. I already have the latest quicktime installed and it works fine. The setup for iTunes 7, however, will not work. I get this exact message:
    Could not access network location iTunes\.
    I read in another forum that editing some registry keys would help but that didn't work. What does this error mean? And why won't iTunes 7 work with Windows 2000 whenever iTunes 6 works perfectly? This is very frustrating, all I want to do is download the Idol gives back videos to help out the children's charities. I never thought they would make it so difficult. I know I can't be the only one with iTunes 7 issues. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    that's normal. a number of the error messages that displayed with a number in 6.0.x and earlier versions of iTunes (like the 1606, the 1316 and certain species of the 1402) no longer get the number showing up with the error message with the 7.x installers. (it seems to have been part and parcel of the change away from basing the installers on InstallShield technology.)
    okay, let's try the general advice from the following document to see if that can help:

    itunes wont install, runtime error R6034 also 'apple mobile device' wont start! 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 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.
