No Success re-installing iTunes on my Dell PC

Hi, I have been trying to install iTunes on my Dell pc.
I DID have iTunes installed and running on this computer. I got an update notice that Version 11.1.4 is available to download, so I downloaded it.
After downloading 11.1.4, I got two error messages, with circled RED X's, saying:
"X iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes." "Error 7 (Windows error 126)"
A second message appears when I click out of the above message, and it is:
"X Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"
I've tried three times to download iTunes to my PC.
I have removed all iTunes files from my computer, then I downloaded iTunes from Apple.com again. I realize all my tunes are gone from my PC, but I have them backed up on a separate harddrive, as well as on my iPod Classic, and on my MacBook Pro, too.
However, after re-install iTunes, I'm getting the same messages as above when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop.
When I click on iTunes in my program menu list, it says that my iTunes software is up to date (Version 11.1.4).
But, when I click on the desktop icon for iTunes, it still gives me the same two messages as I wrote above.
Frustrated, I am thinking that "MSVCR80.dll", whatever that is, is causing my problem. Anybody know what I should do to reinstall iTunes on my PC?
Any help and ideas are greatly appreciated.

the message i get is that installing itunes is not possible due to an error in Windows installer.
What's the precise text of the error message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

After installing itunes on my Dell 570 PC every icon on my screen becomes an itunes icon

After installing iTunes on my Dell 570 PC every icon on the screen becomes an iTunes icon and which ever icon you select it becomes an iTunes page. Help

I also have an iPhone 4 with the newly downloaded iOS 5. I have not been able to get the camera icon on the locked screen to appear at all. I'd love to know how to fix it since this is one of the new features that I'd really like to use.

Can't install iTunes on new Dell laptop

I bought a Dell laptop running Windows 7. I can download but not install iTunes. I have tried turning off the pop-up blocker and suspending Norton Antivirus' firewall. Any suggestions? I can't access my full iTunes account that shows previous purchases. And when I plug in my iPod Touch and my new iPad, the computer recognizes them but nothing happens with the iTunes website.

many thanks.
Are you using Internet Explorer for the download?
If so, fingers crossed the following documents might be of some assistance:

If no joy there, try switching off any pop-up blockers or web accelerators you may have running. (They can also interfere with downloads in this sort of way.)

Installing itunes on new dell/ Vista, error that no audio cd can be found

After installing intunes on my new dell laptop, got message that it "was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn cd's, you need to reintall iTunes". I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Same error message. Diagnostics says "no audio CD found". I'm on my 4th out of 5 allotted downloads because of old dell crashing. don't want to uninstall again if I can help it. Please help me.

New Dell in title, old Dell in comment. Have you tried updating the driver for the device from the Dell website? Put the service tag number in and it should show you all available downloads.
And 4th out of 5 allotted downloads? Are you referring to authorizations? De-authorize the machine before you remove the software, if that is what you are actually talking about.

I installed iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run.

I installed iTunes on my Dell PC running Windows 7 and now Internet Explorer crashes and won't run. Are there any known conflicts, or likely issues that may be causing this?
I've rebooted, and the iTunes program seems to operate fine. I used it to upgrade my iPad's OS to 8.1.3.

They aren't related and shouldn't affect each other.

Error 0x800736FD when installing iTunes + QuickTime

Well, I finally caved. I bought my first digital portable media player. The people on the street were throwing things at me, and my doctor said he might have to operate my shoulder. The boombox had to go!
So, I'm trying to install iTunes. My Dell machine came with an "Apple Software Update" program installed. It's been bugging me to install iTunes since I got it, so this time I clicked OK and let do its thing.
The automatic updater "Apple Software Update" is trying to install "iTunes + QuickTime" version 7.4.3. It goes through the download phase OK, then starts the installation. After about 10 minutes (wherein the installation has not progressed in the last 9 minutes), an error message appears in a separate window:
iTunes + QuickTime
(X) An error has occured during the installation of Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc...",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762" ,processorArchitecture="x86". Refer to Help for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD.
Has anyone seen this before or know how I can get around it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried downloading iTunes yourself and installing it manually?
You can download the iTunes installer from here:

I have the same problem and
have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
then restarted as per instructions,
went to Apple to download itunes,
hit download now,
Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
did not get a save instead of run prompt
Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.

I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC. I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126). I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes

I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC. I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126). I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes. What next? I've not had this problem with other updates requested by Apple.

I have also had the same problem with my Win 7 32 bit computer. I had great help from Apple techs in Montreal and Orlando for 2.5 hours. They helped me remove every trace of Apple products and clean the registry in two different ways. Each install gave the same problem! If Apple techs can't fix it (on some of our machines) then we are really in trouble. They promised to raise it with the "engineers" and get back to me with a solution. I am waiting and hoping. Otherwise maybe version 11.1.5 will have a fix ??

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 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.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

I recently tried to upgrade my itunes on my dell laptop with 64bit Windows 7 and it stopped working completely. So I tried deleting and installing all over again and haven't been able to reinstall it since. I've tried numerous things i've read in forums

I recently tried to upgrade my itunes on my dell laptop with 64 bit windows 7. It stopped working so I deleted all files and tried to reinstall and haven't been able to since. I've tried numerous things i've read in forums and nothing seems to work. The installation will not move past the "publishing product information" point. After being stuck there for a while this error message appears:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",process or Architecture="x86"', Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD
I hope someone is able to help me with this.

Did you already try what bnoir suggested in this post about error 0x800736FD:
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?
This thread might help as well, suggestion provided by bnoir:
In general, these ones tend to be caused by underlying problems on the PC that can prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to try to fix the Windows Update issues. If we can get Windows Updates flowing again, that generally clears up the iTunes install errors +en passant.+
Head into your Windows Update, and check for any new updates. Do any fail? If so, open your Update History and doubleclick on the failure entries to bring up a small box with alphanumeric error message codes. Are you getting 8000FFFFs? (They often seem to be associated with an iTunes-install 0x800736FD.)
If you're getting 8000FFFFs, try the following Microsoft document:
[Windows Update Error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
Head back to Windows Update, and stock up on any updates you're behind on. Once you're completely up to date in that regard, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
