Not new but still no answer: iTunes Installer - DLL Could Not be Run

Yep, it's not gone away and Apple have their heads in the sand if they think it has. Let's blame Microsoft, eh?
It's widespread, and Apple are not coming up with the goods here. i feel pretty messed around really.
New iPod user, version 7 of iTunes installer .exe, old W2000 PC. Following error means W Installer won't. I have never, ever had this problem with downloading and running Installers before now. Probable that Apple should have offered the correct supporting code/ DLL object in the first place.
Various misleading pieces of Apple e-drivvle have been pursued and much time lost, including Windows Updates. We need a solution from Apple.
Eror:
" There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL requried for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your ..." etc etc.
HELP! I have a very disapointed wife here, who now has a useless Birthday present. Any thoughts anyone?
Cheers,
Rich.

Update - I have now tried a bit more of the Apple tech. article No. 304405. Having already downloaded a WIndows Update for VBScript, I then tried the fix to register it - this failed too: msg. "Loadlibrary(%filename%)failed GetError returned 0X00000485".
I have also learnt about the Log - find your install logs in TEMP - filename format iTunesSetupAAA.log. Herebelow the last command that then fell into error:
"Executing: "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\msiexec.exe" /i "c:\windows\TEMP\IXP137.TMP\iTunes.msi"
Returned: 1603
Any thoguhts?
Regards,
Rich

    Unless you deliberately downgraded iTunes this may be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account?

    My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?

    If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
    If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
    Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
    The use family sharing to share apps
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
    Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    More details of how:
    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in

    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I run firefox 11 with xp I have avg2012 I will not shut down my avg so when is firefox going to fix this, there is now v 14available but still no answer

    if firefox will not let me run avg2012 then I will have to change to a browser that will I have anther computer running on windows 7 and avg2012 but will not use it yet on the net permanently
    This problem has been known since version 6 and even 4 it its now v14 please fix this well known problem.

    Hi I upgraded to 14.1, Avg safe search was disabled. Skype click to call as well but I do not use that function any way, a Video to mp program,again I do not use it..
    When I installed it I rebooted my computer, then ran a AVG update,
    however to Firefox I do not like running with out the SAFE search, I do have other save guards, but unless Firefox is made to run with the AVG safe search I would advise any one that has important documents on that computer to go to another browser.
    that is what I am going to do once I have all my toolbar contacts saved.
    I have been using Firefox for many years, it seems that is to come to an end.
    My other computer with windows 7 is not connected to the internet, only to connect to steam or other branded secure sites for registered programs.
    AVG SAFE SEARCH has protected me until now, so I am very worried.

  • How to keep music on an external hard drive, but still manage in itunes

    Hello, so i just got a new pc. Have downloaded and authorized Itunes and have pointed my file media folder to the external hard drive. What I'd like to do is keep all my music on the external hard drive without saving any music onto my new pc. So is it possible to keep all my music on the external hard drive but still be able to manage the music library in itunes?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're asking for, but I asked a similar question once before. I hope this helps.
    Here is a tutorial from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364?viewlocale=en_US

  • Tunes disappear from folder - but still play in iTunes???

    I can play songs in iTunes that have disappeared from the iTunes music folder. Maybe I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something, but this has me baffled.
    Here's what's happened: I was looking at my iTunes music folder in Finder. I double-clicked on a song (an mp3 file); iTunes opened and played the song. But when I closed iTunes, the song was missing from the folder!
    I opened iTunes, found the song in the library, and played it again. I did a 'Get Info' in iTunes and it still shows the song as being in my music folder.
    I used spotlight to search for the song name, and it, too, shows the song as being in the iTunes music folder.
    But it still doesn't show up when I open the folder in Finder.
    Worried that something was going wrong with the file structure, I did a clean install of the OS (10.4.11) and upgraded to the latest iTunes (7.5).
    Since then, I've replicated the process with two other songs.
    Any ideas?

    All of the PDF documents on my iPad disappeared. This seems to be a problem that a number of people have experienced, although a clearly documented solution does not appear to be readily available.
    This issue can be resolved by deleting all the PDF documents in the iTunes library. Copying the PDF documents back to the iTunes library and then syncing the iPad will allow the missing documents to reappear back in the collections into which they were filed.
    It is a good idea to make sure that you have a complete backup of all of the PDF documents in the library before deleting them.

  • Trying to sync ipod - all songs erased but still showing in itunes

    I've had my ipod for two years, no problem, just went to sync and everything on ipod was erased, but everything still appears in itunes. Getting the following error message: Songs on the ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist. But they do exist...any ideas?

    Hi, Thanks for replying. I created a smart playlist but when I went to change the ipod settings in itunes, "ipod options" did not come up in the menu. All I have is open, eject, sync, transfer purchases and reset warnings. Any ideas?

  • I cant install java or itunes installation package could not be opened verify that the package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows package installler

    installation package could not be opened verify that the package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows package installler  what can i do ? help me

    Hi,
    Firstly make sure you save it to your hard disk, and then run setup from there.
    If it doesn't help, you may also try to unregister Windows Installer, and then reregister Windows Installer and check if it helps. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Press Windows Key + R
    2. In the "run" box, type "msiexec /unreg", and then press ENTER.
    3. Press Windows Key + R
    4. In the "run" box, type "msiexec /regserver", and then press ENTER.
    Besides that, You could try to create a new user to download and install the application.

  • Ok, very new , but still cant get it to work .

    hi, everyone, i have an older wvc54gc ver.1-1 that i bought on ebay, did NOT come with the CD, but found on this forum, what todo with missing CD, here was the link
    http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Cameras/Missing-setup-CD-ROM-for-WVC54GC/td-p/298310but
    this is my question, my main comouter at home has Vista on it, my remote computer has XP on it, i have a dlink router, i had the cam working for a minute on my remote computer, and when i had to reboot, i lost everything,... the cam was plugged into the remote cam , unplug and nothing works, any great suggestions for this,
    i would just like to get this cam set up at home, and when i am away i can see whats going on..
    any first steps again ?
     i saw a few programs out there for monthly cost, but still like the linksys cam for free..
    will this linksys cam work on Vista ?
    anyone have a link to download the software ?
    tried the cisco site and they said the firmware will not work cause the cam is out of waranty.
    help..
    thanks for your support.
    alex

    You should be able to do a google search to find the latest firmware for that camera. Looks like it is Version 1 (and they are up to Version 3 now).
    I would start by updating the firmware.
    Did you set your camera to have a static IP address? I struggled A LOT with this as I am not a network type guy, but what I found most helpful was to set a static IP address on the camera (and set one outside the normal range) (I used 192.162.1.67). Rebooting routers, etc, caused all of your DHCP ip addresses to renew and change, and I *think* that I was ending up with IP address conflict of some sort.
    A real network expert might be able to help more.

  • Cannot install itunes-installation package could not be opened

    Hello,
    I get this message after downloading the software to run the install for itunes.
    This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and tat you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer package.
    Please help so I can get iTunes onto my computer.
    Thanks,

    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?

    Thanks for your interest in this problem. Last night I decided to solve the problem by the "brute force" method and I blew everything away and re-installed Windows XP and the download worked perfectly. I suspect that the real problem was with the earlier Windows installation (a full install done by a technician following a disk drive replacement on my laptop).
    Thank you very much for thinking about this problem. It was certainly an odd problem and one that I have never run into before, where Windows didn't even recognize the file as a legitimate installation file. Hopefully it was a one-time anomaly and it won't happen again.
    Cheers!
