Tried to upgrade as instructed and after uninstalling and reinstalling (even back to the former iTunes which I was happy with)several times, keep getting message "Procedure entry point could not be located in dynamic link library" followed by "iTunes was not installed properly" "Error 7". Help, please??
Entry point errors can usually be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of from the programs and features control panel. Unfortunately you neglected to include the detail of which dll is mentioned.
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 installation or 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.

I tried updating my itune program. Now all I get is the following message "Itunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). WHAT can I do to get back to where my itunes program is running again?
I have uninstalled the proram and tried reinstalling and get the same error message. The other error message I get is "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". I have tried that twice with no luck. Can someone help me get my music back???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.

"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. -
I tried to run the new update to iTunes and I got the error....iTunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall iTunes. I have tried that twice with no success. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

I have an Error Message 7 (14001) that says Itune was not installed properly, to reinstall.
I have tried this twice to no avail.... any answers ? Thank YouHello Debbie,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. It sounds like you have tried reinstalling iTunes twice, but you may need to reinstall Microsoft's .NET Framework:
Resolution
This issue may be caused by a bad installation of a version of Microsoft's .NET Framework. It's important to note that versions 2.0, 3.5, and 4.0 can all exist side-by-side. Click the arrow next to your OS to reveal links to the versions of Microsoft's .NET Framework that are applicable to your OS; you will need to download and install ALL of these. These links will take you to a download page. Click the download button on this page and click Save in the subsequent window to save the installer to your Downloads folder.
Windows XP:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP 1Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=0a391abd-25c1-4fc0-9 19f-b21f31ab88b7Windows Vista:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP 1
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
Note: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is already installed as part of Windows Vista. You can not modify the installation of this version of the .NET Framework in Windows Vista.
Windows 7:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
Note: Microsoft .NET Framework versions 2.0 and 3.5 are already installed as part of Windows 7. You can not modify the installations of these versions of the .NET Framework in Windows 7.
To resolve this issue, run these installers one at a time and follow the instructions on screen to install each applicable version of the .NET Framework. If this version of the .NET Framework is already installed, you may see a screen similar to the one shown below.
If you see this screen, select Repair and then click Next to repair the installation of the .NET Framework.

Beyond Frustrated with Error 7, itunes was not installed properly....
This past Monday I started my computer as normal after turning it off the night before. I noticed when turning it off that several updates were being installed but this happens occasionally so i thought nothing of it. After starting my computer Monday, Error 7 popped up saying itunes was not installed properly and could not be installed. I researched this and after many uninstall attempts on my own and at the advice of another person in this community having the same issue, I installed Revo and uninstalled all the components of itunes. I used several of the scans that were offered as well to make sure that everything Apple was removed from my computer. I have now done this 6 times. Each time, I restart my computer, download itunes and get the same error. Something like I don't have the privileges to download Apple support... Regardless I am extremely irritated and have no clue as to what I am doing wrong. Please someone tell me what to do. Thanks.
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.

I downloaded itunes. It initially indicated that the download was successful, however, when I click the itunes icon, it says "ituns was not installed properly". It then gives me the message "itunes has stopped working"
Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
> Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS. -
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!

Ituneshelper was not installed correctly, please reinstall itunes

error 7
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? -
ITunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (Windows error 998)
HI
I had a Trojan and used Malwarebytes to get rid of it and now everything is fine but for some reason everytime I try to open Itunes I get the message ITunes was not installed correctly Error 7 (Windows error 998)
I have done various searches on this issue and have so far done the following :-
Complete uninstall of Itunes, Quick Time and all associated programs and then a fresh install. I have also updated Microsoft.net framework. I have run a microsoft IE8 repair tool and have also made another windows user account to see if it was just my own user account.
None of this has helped and I am still getting the error. Do I really have to do a complete format on my PC or is there anyone out there that can help?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}
Missing TypeLib Reference IiPodManagerUI - {19D52A9A-379C-4720-BA00-3D396ECD24D7} HKCR\Interface\{D775A119-EAC2-4F28-B06E-8AC16F2695DA}
These always come back when I try and 'Repair' iTunes from the control panel.
Ideas anyone? -
How can I download itunes when I get the following errors ..ituneshelper did not install correctly error 7..I .have installed and uninstalled a dozen times with various fixes...b noir for example and used Revo to clean up.
This has been a problem for 6 weeks now, I retry when I have time and patience and use my other laptop which is also Windows 7 and runs with no problem.
Every attempt fails when all seems fine on the desktop and I try to log on to Itunes I get the errors.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
