Problems installing iTunes with Windows 8

Hi,
I have recently purchased a laptop with Windows 8. I have appeared to have installed iTunes but when I open it I get an error message saying the following:
Apple application support was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (windows error)
I have tried installing it and re-installing but this has not helped
I have seen similar questions (and answers) on this forum but I am totally confused by the answers. Could anyone provide with a very clear, jargon-free solution to this problem?
Any help is much appreciated
Ali

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 a component such as Apple Application Support won't install normally.

How do I install itunes with Windows 7?

how do I install itunes with Windows 7? I always get a Windows Installer error or administrator error __

Have tried: download but do not install iTunes, then turn off virus protection and firewall, restart computer, login as admin, then run the iTunes insallation. After it installs, restart virus protection and firewall and logout and back in as standard user.
Windows leaves installers running or still resident which conflict with the iTunes installer.

Problems installing iTunes on Windows Vista

I have searched these and other forums. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes NUMEROUS times. I have cleaned the registry, tried Windows Fix-it, tried to repair Apple Application Software. I have updated the Microsoft.Net Framwork. I continue to get the same error. The software says that it has loaded successfully, but when I try to open the software, I get the following message:
"The procedure entry point AVCFURLAssetInheritURIQueryComponentFromReferencingURIKey could not be located in dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll"
My only choice then is to click ok. When I do that, I get a second error message:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes Error7 (Windows error #127).
Can someone please help me with the correct fix for these errors or some other ideas of how to get iTunes correctly installed on my computer. I have spent HOURS in the last week researching and re-installing and am at my wits end!

The error report suggests a similar problem to those outlined in the fist and third boxes and is probably the result of an outdated .dll file.

Problem Updating iTunes with Windows Vista

I downloaded iTunesSetup.exe and ran as an Admin and during the installation I get an error message that says "Could not access network location %APPDATA%\."
What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Apple, apparently, had a fix up for an earlier version of itunes, but that is gone from the web page, and has been yanked.
Yes, there are big problems with iTunes for Windows. Until these are rectified, your Ipod will be a paper weight.

Installing iTunes with Windows Vista Ultimate

Hi Innonut;
You are asking your iTune question on the Leopard forum. If you would report in the Windows iTunes Forum, you might get more response there.
