Msvcr80.dll error is this a bug. Will Apple provide a fix?

I recieved a message for an updated version of itunes. However, after installing the newer version, itunes stopped working and began sending a MSVCR80.dll error. Is this a bug? Is Apple aware of how many users this is impacting? Will Apple provide a fix? This is unacceptable.

Try the following user tip:

(Yes, the trouble with the iTunes for Windows 11.1.4.62 installers is affecting a lot of people.)

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.

Just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error; now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes. how do i resolve this ?

just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error;
now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes.
how do i resolve this ?

By way of experiment, let's first try specifically choosing a library for iTunes to open.
Quit iTunes if that error message is showing. Now hold down your Shift key, and then open iTunes. (Keep holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening.)
You should see a dialog asking you if you want to choose or create a library, as per the following screenshot:
Click "Choose Library ..."
You should now see a screen like the following screenshot:
Select the "iTunes Library.itl" file (shown circled in the screenshot) and click "Open".
Does your iTunes library open without the error?

HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
Thanks

Hey I finally got an older vesion of itunes to work!!! 10.7 x64 for windows 7

Then I emptied my recycling bin and restarted my PC

Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. I did the following:
1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replaced)
2) Restarted computer and still got error message
3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not recomment in their posted solutions but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
5) Restarted computer.
6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try.

HT1923 msvcr80.dll error on Windows 7

I began with a msvcr80.dll error on Windows 7. Searching I discovered it was iTunes giving me grief so I attempted to uninstall it.
I tried the steps on an Apple web page (can't find it now but it is the same here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr80-dll-not-found-missing -error.htm
This didn't work for me. The C:\Program Files\Bonjour and both C:\Program Files\Commons\Apple folders would not delete. I tired to use an unlocker too wihtout success. Those extra files all refused deletion.
Everytime I try download the new version of iTunes for re-installing it gives the option to save but when clicked it goes directly to a "you have downloaded successfully" page but it isn't in my downloads. I have tired several times.
Now I have uninstalled iTunes, still have the missing file error and no access to iTunes for home or work!
I am completely stumped and extreamly frustrated. Any ideas how I can fix this error, install iTunes correctly please?
Any ideas how I got this in the first place too?
Thank you

HT1926 Attempting to update Itunes, received System Error: "program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing form computer" try reinstalling the program to fix problem. Question , if reinstall Itunes via download, do I lose my music library?

Attempting to update itunes, received system error" Program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from computer, try reinstalling the program to fix the problem. Question, I can't access Itunes to backup library, how do I reinstall without loosing music library?

It doesn't matter and doing a manual install will not fix the problem either. I'm looking for a solution but no luck yet. I think Apple has given us a bad update.

TS5376 we are getting the MSVCR80.dll error on our home computer. If we uninstall iTunes do we loose all our songs and info in our iTune library?

we are getting the MSVCR80.dll error, it saysit an APSDaemon.exe system error. If we uninstall iTunes, do we loose our library?

I had the same problems. It is a glitch with iTunes and the PC. I found an article that helps you fix your problem step-by-step at http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr80-dll-not-found-missing -error.htm . Follow the uninstall and reinstall directions as exactly stated in the article and your problems will be solved. It took a while, but it worked! And most importantly, you do NOT lost your song library. Good luck!

I tunes won't open because MSVCR80.dll error - and can't re-install itunes either - now what?

Today I went to open iTunes and received the MSVCR80.dll error - unable to open iTunes.
After Googling for a solution, I found the Apple walkthrough on how to copy your .DLL files to your desktop, uninstall iTunes and reinstall.
When I tried to reinstall iTunes, I got an error in the "starting services" part of the installation process and was not able to complete the install.
Now what?
I am getting incredibly ****** off with iTunes - a horrible user interface and no support available even though I've spent hundreds (if not thousands!) of £££ over the years through the store.
