"not a valid Win32 application" message when trying to install iTunes 7.0

I have downloaded the new iTunes 7.0 setup file. When I click on the icon on my desktop, I get the message, " C:____\iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application".
This problem doesn't seem to be specifically addressed in the troubleshooting suggestions on this website. Does any one have any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this problem? I've tried uninstalling older versions of iTunes and Quicktime, and re-downloaded new software package, but problem continues.

After using the Windows Installer clean up tool and removing the iTunes 7.0.7.16 install file I was able to update to 7.0.2

  • ITunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application message

    I downloaded iTunes7 for 2000/XP, but when I try to install the .exe, I receive 'iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid Win32 application'. Any ideas on what might cause this error?

  • Not a valid Win32 application error when starting javahost

    Hi,
    I am getting the error below. I have searched this forum and the web and found some mentions of it here and there, but no solutions (by the way I am not using MS IIS).
    OBI EE is installed on Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition with Service Pack 2. Everything else (BI Server, presentation services and OC4J instance) is working fine.
    Any help on how to solve this would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Just found the solution for it. I had to "install" a 32 bit JRE and use it to run the java host.
    In fact I didn't install the JRE, I just copied its full folder structure from a 32 bit machine to the 64 bit machine and pointed JavaHome in the instanceconfig.xml to there.
    All is working well and everybody is happy now, however I am still confused... as I said, the OC4J is running fine with a 64 bit JRE, why the java host needs a 32 bit one? Do you think something went wrong in the installation or that is how things are?

  • Error Message when trying to install iTunes

    I'm trying to install itunes to my laptop.  It downloaded tp my computer fine, but as it tries to install i receive and errror window that says, "Application support is currently suspended.  you must undo the changes made by that installation to continue. Do you want to undo those changes?"  if i click "yes" it pops up again immediately.  if I press "no" the installation tries to continue and the same message pops up 3 more times.  if i press "no" to clear it i finally get the message, "iTunes Installer Interupted.  Errors occured during installation before the requested operations for the iTunes could be completed.  Your system has not been modified.  To complete the installation, run the installer again. Click Fiinish to exit the installer."   If i hit finish and try again, I go through all the same errors each time. 
    I have windows 8.
    Any ideas?

    many thanks.
    It failed to update and the error code is 8000FFFF
    Good-O ... with that one, let's try the fixit from the following Microsoft document:
    [Windows Update error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
    Does that get your Windows Updates flowing again? If so, stock up on the ones you're behind on (there may be quite a lot of them) and then try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1926 apple mobile device failed to start ? i keep getting this message when trying to install itunes program.

    I am trying to install itunes as i had to uninstall the software. and now when i try to reinstall it i keep getting this message. I dont understand why? or how to fix it. It shouldnt be this difficult to install a program. All this just because of some upgrade that wouldnt install and messed up itunes and made it invalid to even open.

    Hey AndreaKK,
    I would try the following directions:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    If you have Windows XP, there are slightly different directions in here:

  • Weird Error Message when Trying to Install iTunes 10

    I had to uninstall iTunes recently because it was getting an error message when I tried to open it and that message suggested I remove and reinstall it. Now when I try to install iTunes 10 (I had a lower version before, iTunes 9.something), I get this message:
    An error occured during the installation of assmebly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x76"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054F
    I absolutely hate messages like these, you can't do anything with them and it makes you feel like the problem is unfixable. Hopefully that's not the case because until this is fixed I have no iTunes or Quicktime.

    Through my own cunning and genius, I have found the way for someone else to guide me step-by-step exactly what to do.

    The solution is that "Regedit" thing where you delete certain parts of your registry and then restart your computer. Just do like it says there and you'll be good to go. Finally, this nightmare of epic proportions is over, and I can get back to playing airsoft.

  • Error message when trying to install iTunes on my pc

    Hi I have tried several times now to install iTunes on my PC (Windows XP). 
    The error message reads:  "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified".
    I have tried the help topic "Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP" but I don't have the "iTunesHelper" and "qttask" checkboxes at step 7.  I have tried carrying on without these two tick-boxes and restarted the pc but I get the same error message.
    Any ideas (gratefully received!)?

    Hey AJS4862,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are having trouble installing iTunes on Windows. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Error message when trying to install itunes 9

    I checked already to see if this was answered earlier and it isnt. so.
    When i open the itunes installer and right after it prepares to install i get the message "invalid drive:F:/" and then itunes installer tells me that it cannot complete the install. I usually am able to get around things like this myself but im stumped here so please if you can help me. thanks.

    When i open the itunes installer and right after it prepares to install i get the message "invalid drive:F:/"
    Often the cause of that is that the Windows installer database (that Windows installer checks on when uninstalling previous versions of iTunes) has become convinced that an iTunes program file or whatnot is actually located (in your case) on the F drive. If you don't happen to have an F drive on the system, the installer gets horribly confused when it goes to remove the file (or files or whatnot) and you get an "Invalid drive:" error. (In your case, "Invalid drive:F:/".)
    So first we should try temporarily adding an F drive to your system. (If the Installer can actually see an F drive it usually calms down, even if the files/whatnot in question aren't there.)
    Here's Vista instructions for that.
    Do you have an external drive or a thumb drive of some description? (An iPod in manual mode would do fine ... anything that shows up in "Computer" as a drive would be fine.)
    If so, plug the external drive in. Go "Start > Computer" and check the drive letter it gets assigned in "Computer".
    (1) *If the drive letter the external is assigned is F,* try another iTunes install *(install iTunes to its standard default location, not onto the F).*
    (2) *If the drive letter the external is assigned is not F,* change the drive letter to F using Disk Management, using the following steps:
    In your Start menu, right-click "Computer", and select "Manage"
    Click "Disk Management".
    In Disk Management, right-click the external drive and select "Change Drive letter and paths ..."
    Click "Change".
    Select "F" and click okay.
    Now try another iTunes install *(install iTunes to the default location, not onto the F).*
    Does that get you past the "Invalid Drive F" message?

  • Error messages when trying to install itunes

    I keep getting the message
    "could not write value to key\software\classes\.rmp\openwithlist\itunes.exe
    PLEASE HELP ME.... i'm about the throw the computer out the window!
    thanks.

    +could not write value to key\software\classes\.rmp\openwithlist\itunes.exe+
    That's not the most common of keys to be cited in this context. However it's close enough to a different (more familiar) key message to suggest a course of action.
    Try a modified version of the registry edit procedure described in the following document:
    Error 1406 or 1402 appears when you install iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    The modification is in Step 6 ... here, *Click the reveal button next to ".rmp."* (instead of .cdda) and do all the subsequent backups/edits within the .rmp branch of the Key.
    Any help?

  • Why do I see a directory access message when trying to install iTunes?

    iTunes won't install. I first got this error when trying to update to 9.2: "Error writing to file C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\it.lproj\TVShowsIntro.nib\objects.xib. Verify that you have access to that directory." I then tried to uninstall and reinstall and I keep getting the same error during the 'copying files' part of the install process. Can someone please tell me how to fix this issue? Thanks.

    That's consistent with disk/file damage.
    Let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's instructions and a guided help in the following document.
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk r/ (depending on how you go about this):
    [How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

    hmmmm ... it sounds like you're clicking inside the folder containing installation configuration information for your iTunes.
    what happens if you download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file to your desktop, and then run the install by doubleclicking on that?
    here's a link to the installer download:
