Problem installing Itunes on my windows pc

I get an error that says could not access network location %PUBLIC%\desktop\
The loading file is visible on the desktop and we can't figure out how to get it to install itunes.

I get an error that says could not access network location %PUBLIC%\desktop\
Interesting. It's a 1606 error (even though the iTunes installer doesn't return the 1606 error message number).
Perhaps let's try the Fixit from the following Microsoft document. It should be effective against one (possibly two) classes of 1606s:
Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled
Any luck with your one?

  • Problems Installing iTunes 10 with Windows Vista

    I am running Windows Vista (32 bit) and have installed iTunes 10. Any time I try to launch iTunes I receive the following message: "iTunes needs to be repaired to work with Vista. Use the 'Programs and Features' control panel to repair iTunes."
    The bigger problem is when I open the Programs and Features control panel, iTunes is not listed as a program. All of the other iTunes components are listed(Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour). However, I can see iTunes (version 10) in the C:>Programs Files>iTunes folder, just not in the control panel.
    I was going to attempt to uninstall and reinstall as numerous posts have suggested, however, since the program does not appear in the control panel, I have not been able to uninstall it.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • Problem installing iTunes on my Windows Laptop

    Hi people
    Right I've had this problem for a while, I try to install iTunes but have faced problems. Im using a windows 7 64-bit advent laptop.
    Recently the error was iTunesHelper was not installed correctly as I tried installing the new itunes, and i DO NOT want to have to delete my laptop completely back to factory settings. There is no system restore in place, and I have tried deleting every file+ software associated with apple.
    PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME
    Thank you!

    Also the installer tells me that iTunes has installed correctly, but when I open it Error 7 (Windows code 14001) appears.
    When I open QuickTime I'm told that "the application has failed to start because of its side-by-sde configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail" appears.
    Please help me

    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.

    Yes, you should be on Quicktime version 7.7. by now. Have you ever used Software Update?

    Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Mobile Device Support entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
