While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help
I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!

please helpituneshelper was not installed correctly, please reinstall itunes

The error 7 suggests you might also be getting a problem with your Apple Application Support as well as iTunes.
So let's try uninstalling both iTunes and Apple Application Suppport this time. When we reinstall iTunes, that should reinstall Apple Application Support as well. We'll take a few additional explicit precautions along the way too. Best to print these instructions out, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
Preliminaries
Download and save a fresh iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the iTunes install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now, quit QuickTime (if you have that open) and Safari 4.0.4 (if you have that installed and open). Both applications use Apple Application Support, and they will interfere with the uninstall if you have them open.
*Uninstall phase*
Head into your "Uninstall a Program" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Application Support.
(From this point on until we reinstall Apple Application Support, neither QuickTime nor Safari 4.0.4 will be able to run.)
Next we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
(1) Open "Local Disk (C:)" or whichever drive your program files are stored on.
(2) Open the "Program Files" folder.
(3) Right-click on the iTunes folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
(4) Open the "Common files" folder.
(5) Open the "Apple" folder.
(6) Right-click on the Apple Application Support folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Now empty your Recycle Bin and restart the PC.
*Reinstall Phase*
After the PC restarts, do not open any other applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus and antispyware).
Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Did the install seem to go through okay? If so, does iTunes start launching properly again? -
"iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes." Error 7
For a few weeks now(almost a month), I have been trying to get my iTunes to work. When the new iPhones came out, it went haywire. It brings up an error that I cannot open iTunes because "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes." Error 7. I have reinstalled, uninstalled using Best Removal Tool as well as the Rev whatever its called that they reccommended (I've done this like 15-20 times at least). I've run CCleaner, etc and nothing works. I've ensured stuff is updated, turned on/off, etc and nothing. I've logged in as the admin account (personal laptop, but made the admin thing unhidden through cmd.exe) Can someone PLEASE help me because this is getting old and I'm really ****** that I can't get this to work following everything they have stated on the support forums.
I have an iPod touch, not an iPhone btw. Just making sure I specify that. I don't have it plugged in when I'm installing either.I had to wait till the second error popped up so I could update. I am also getting another error "The program can't start because CoreFoundation.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
I have run system repairs galore as well - nothing wrong. When I look in the programs downloaded and installed, the iTunesHelper.exe is no longer in that list. When this issue first started, it was, but I uninstalled everything like the forums said, and nothing. -
ITunesHelper was not installed correctly. Error 7 Help!! My itunes worked yesterday.
My itunes wont open without an error message that says itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes Error 7 (Windows error 14001) What has caused this and how do I get my itunes back????
after i researched this issue for several days and i emailed apple support this is what i did and it really worked. somewhere i saw on a post to download revo uninstaller because it gets rid of all aspects of a program. i downloaded the revo uninstaller pro. you get a 30 day free trial. i uninstalled everything apple. there is a place on there where you check what scale of scan to use. the first time i used medium on the first few items and advanced on the rest. the advanced scan really went through each and every file after the so called uninstall and found traces of the programs. i had to check boxes beside files that had traces and removed them all. (I ended up having to do this twice because the first time i did this the error box kept popping up when i reinstalled, so my advice is to choose advanced each and every time. also after the first time, that box popped up during the reinstall of itunes that said i needed permission to install something.) Next thing i did was checked on the recent updates and installs on my computer. windows/ms had installed 3 things in those automatic updates. i uninstalled all 3. i'm convinced that there is a corrupt file in there somewhere. there are several fixes and scans on the left side of revo, and i ran several of them just to check. the final one on the bottom was an evidence remover. since everywhere i have seen says to remove all traces, apparently when you empty the recycle bin it really doesnt get rid of it. so i did the evidence remover. it took all day. almost 9 hours. next, apple support had suggested i go to windows update site and download the latest version of there update software. i was wary, but i did this update. i restarted my computer. next i went back to apple and reinstalled itunes. during the reinstall, the box that said i needed permission didn't pop up. after the install the error box didnt pop up. and when i went to itunes, everything was there. i cant tell you which exact step fixed it, but something did. good luck to you. i emailed the apple support guy back and mentioned the revo uninstalled. i'm pretty sure that advanced scan really did the better delete than just uninstalling.

Ituneshelper was not installed correctly, please reinstall itunes Error 7
Have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and related programs (ad infinitum) per advice offered in this forum. So far a complete waste of time.
Running Windows 7, 64 bit, Home Premium. Have repaired windows installation as well, to no effect. Considering switching to Android phone since Apple obviously does not what PC users to using iPhones or iPods. Any ideas?
Honestly, I have been trying to overcome this setback for two weeks now and am getting discouraged.It's being unusually cryptic for an Error 7.
Usually if the .NET framework is up to snuff, an error 7 indicates trouble with the Apple Application Support installation. But in those cases, usually there's a preceding message about one of the Apple Application Support program files.
On rare occasions (had it happen to me once myself while installing and uninstalling stuff by way of troubleshooting experimentation), the 7 can indicate trouble with one of the other associated programs (like QuickTime, perhaps BonJour). So, perhaps the sensible way forward for us under the circumstances is a complete uninstall and reinstall of all iTunes and related componentry, as per:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
If you get any error messages with any of the uninstalls, deletions or reinstall, let us know what they say.
If, however, the process seems to go through swimmingly, does your iTunes start launching without the 7? -
Itunes was not installed correctly... Error 7...and then some
Downloaded Itunes 9 and now get a message: "Ituneshelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7" I have tried to reinstall and get the same message again. If I try to open Itunes from the desktop icon I get another message: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)
I have taken Itunes off of my computer twice and reinstalled and still get these messages.
I followed the instructions on a similar thread that was posted in May but that didn't help.
What do ya think? Any help would be greatly appreciated.It's being unusually cryptic for an Error 7.

ITunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows 7)
It all started when the apple software updater found updates for both itunes and quicktime. Ever since getting that update iTunes has never worked again.
I've googled this problem and tried all solutions. I tried uninstalling everything, rebooting, and re-installing itunes. I've tried repairing .net framework. I've even tried to use the revo uninstaller.
When I attempt to put iTunes back on the computer I get an error message saying something like:
Service apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges.
I'm given an option to either retry, ignore, or abort. I've tried to retry, but the same message with the same options always comes up. I've tried ignoring, but when the install is done I get the same message that iTunes was not installed correctly error 7. Sometimes it will say the iTuneshelper wasn't installed correctly.
WIthout iTunes i can't add new songs to my iPhone and I can't get any future updates either. There must be a fix out there for this. Please help me.I've found something that may or may not be relevant.
Whenever I run CCleaner after installing iTunes I get the following registry errors:
Missing TypeLib Reference IUserHelper - {19D52A9A-379C-4720-BA00-3D396ECD24D7} HKCR\Interface\{915DA835-02FE-4953-92FA-624BDF5D85AB}

These always come back when I try and 'Repair' iTunes from the control panel.
Ideas anyone? -
Itunes helper was not installed correctly. Error 7 (windows error 14001) ?

Doublechecking. Were you using the instructions from the following documents?
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
(Doublechecking, because an error 7 off ituneshelper normally indicates trouble with Apple Application Support. If something else is going on, it's pretty exotic.) -
I recently moved my itunes to a new computer. The audible stuff doesn't automatically come up because its not purchased from the itunes store. So I opened the files with itunes on my new computer. It said that I had to authorise my audible account on this computer which I did, but then itunes came up with the following:
'Could not authorise this computer because iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.'
So I uninstalled then reinstalled iTunes and it still didn't work, I then did it again and it STILL DIDN'T WORK.
I have absolutely no idea what to do now, so if anyone has any advice it would greatly appreciated.When uninstalling iTunes on your windows computer, there is a specific way it must be done in order to completely uninstall all components of the software. Ensure you follow the article for your correct OS.

Hi!
So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
Tings I have done:
- Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
- Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
- Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
- Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.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.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

I have the latest version of iTunes and when I went to go open it, it can't! It says: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.Error 7 (Windows error 126)" What do I do now? Should I uninstall and try installing it again? I don't want to loose any of my music and info. PLEASE HELP!
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

When opening iTunes on my new Windows 7 PC I continue to get the same messages, 'The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing' and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Error 7 (Windows error 126)' I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times to no avail, even tried it on a different user account and still nothing. I recently installed Panda Internet Security 2012 (about 12 days ago), initially iTunes worked fine as usual but within the last few days I've been unable to open it with the same messages appearing. I've read through some of these pages and tried everything that's been advised, uninstalling and reinstalling while internet and laptop security is swithched off, downloading tools to completely remove anything related to iTunes, tried it in Safe Mode, nothing has worked. I've also noticed that in the start menu when I click on iTunes, it says '(empty)' where it should have the logo and ability to start the program, does this mean it doesn't download + install properly each time I've tried? Any help would be enormously appreciated.
