ITunesSetup.exe won't download

The latest version of iTunes wouldn't update properly, so I followed the instructions on this site to totally remove iTunes and any associated programs, restarted my computer (Windows 7), and tried to download iTunes from scratch. As soon as I click on the "Download Now" button, I get the "Thank you for downloading iTunes" screen. THEN the dialog box opens to ask me if I want to save iTunesSetup.exe. I click on "Save File", and the dialog box goes away. That's it. Nothing else happens. I get no further confirmation that the installer has downloaded, and I can't find it on the computer ANYWHERE.
How do I force the installer to actually download?

That version is quite old now, though its fine if you don't have a device the requires a newer version for syncing or want to use the latest features. Should you want to bring things up to date howver, then 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.

ITunesSetup.exe won't execute

Trying to upgrade my iTunes 8 to iTunes 9, and since my iTunes didn't automatically detect the update I went and downloaded the setup.exe from the iTunes website (made sure it was the right one, 9.0.1 for Vista etc etc) and when I try to run the iTunes 9 installer it doesn't execute. There's no timer. I've tried running it as an administrator but even that doesn't work. Any soloutions please?

Itunessetup exe

I have had itunes previously installed on this computer, it was working fine until when it said it wasn't installed properly and some files were missing please reinstall. I Uninstalled everything to do with itunes and apple products as it had said on this site i then tried reinstalling but the itunessetup.exe won't unpack/install.
I have downloaded itunes ver 10.0.1 a few times from the apple/itunes website here but it won't unpack to install. I have also tried to do extract files from the itunessetup.exe but it says the file is corrupt.
When i double click the setup file a little bar comes up to show progress of the unpacking but it goes no further then a quarter of the way across.
I have deleted all temporary files like it said somewhere else on this site and still doesn't work.
No error messages come up at all

ITunesSetup.exe download stalls at exactly 3.1mb

Hi,
I am trying to download iTunesSetup.exe onto my new windows xp desktop. the file stops downloading at exactly 3.1mB out of 36mb or so. Any ideas? there have also been some other unrelated downloads that have stalled. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

there have also been some other unrelated downloads that have stalled.
what were the other downloads? (wondering here if that could give us a heads up on the itunes issue.)

Itunessetup.exe couldn't be downloaded error message for for vista.

itunessetup.exe couldn't be downloaded error message for for vista. Couldn't get the update so I uninstalled itunes and still get the error message. I tried reconfiguring the start up components with no luck. anybody know how to fix this?

I actually had started on this before your post but you are right. My luck created some issues but after I got around that it worked. I uninstalled everything in the order it needed to. While I was doing this windows had an update. When I restarted something must have went wrong with the update and it crashed on the start up. took me a while to restore it but when I was done it brought back the programs in their damaged state.
So I did the uninstall process again. restarted. and reinstalled and it all works now.
Thank you for the help.
For those reading this the order to uninstall goes as:
iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support, iCloud, and finally MobileMe. Skip over any you don't have installed. Then Restart then reinstall itunes.

Are you downloading from the Apple site, or some outside source? If from Apple, then I would suggest a false alarm from Windoze.

Cant download iTunesSetup.exe

Cant download iTunesSetup.exe binary file(131 MB), just shows the "Thank You for downloading " page, but the file isnt downloaded.
I removed all iTunes completely due to the MSVCR80.dll missing.
I am using Windows Vista Ultimate, 32 bit Operating System. Also I am the admin for the account.

There seems to be something odd about the way the download is triggered on the iTunes download page. Firefox in particular doesn't seem to like it. Try clearing your browser's cache, changing pop-up blocker settings, using an alternate browser. or these direct links:
iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit)
iTunes64Setup .exe (64-bit)
I got the links by intercepting the download requests from Softpedia's iTunes page. If they don't work try going there. The files themselves are hosted at apple.com.

Problem downloading itunes using IE8. Registry problem with iTunesSetup.exe file

I am trying to install iTunes and have come up against the Registry problem and Windows saying the file needs a signature. I have tried deleting the browsing history and searching and deleting all copies of the iTunesSetup.exe file. I have even begun again with QuickTime. All to no avail.
I'm using Windows XP.
Does anyone have any further ideas for this problem please?
Thank you!!

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Cant install QuickTimeInstaller.exe or iTunesSetup.exe and IE9 SmartScreen Filter reports the program is not commonly downloaded and is not signed by its author. I run it anyway, but "is not a valid Win32 application". Tried Firefox

I followed the Article TS1406 (recommended solution) on both a Windows 7 OS and an Apple OS, tried Safari and Firefox, tried using 'Upgrade ITunes' button on my old version of iTunes, then uninstalled ITunes, then QuickTime, now can't install either because I'm getting the same error message when I download and choose Run > 'not a valid Win32 application'. On IE9, the SmartScreen Filter returns a warning that the file could harm my computer because it is not commonly downloaded. I tried downloading it from other internet sources, but that's risky, and anyway, it's still causing the same errors. What else is there to try? If I can't find a solution, I can't use my new Iphone 5

It's still pointing to the installers getting damaged during the downloads.
Perhaps try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to a different PC. (If you're on a 32-bit Windows system, try to download on a different 32-bit Windows system.) Copy the iTunesSetup.exe installer to an external hard-drive, or a large-enough thumb drive or burn it to a CD-R. Carry the installer back to your PC, copy the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install from the ExHD, thumb or CD-R.) Start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.
