Problems with Reinstalling Itunes 9

Hi folks.
I cant find any help in the FAQs and support section of the sight so I thought I would have to post here for help.
I have Itunes on my computer, latest version (i think).
I recently had to "roll back" my Windows because of a problem it was having with Explorer. And after the roll back I noticed that my Itunes shortcuts appeared to be broken (I think perhaps because I rolled back to before I updated to the latest patch maybe?) and so I thought ill need to reinstall to sort that.
It seems to install okay but when it tries to "uninstall" the previous version it seems to think that the Itunes.msi file is "on an unavailable network resource" and thus wont uninstall.
I found Itunes.msi in my Documents and Settings folder on the C drive without too much trouble. So i dont understand what the problem is.
Itunes still seems to run if i go into its own folder and run the Itunes.exe from there so its not too bad but with this problem it means I wont be able to update in future. And I cant uninstall the beggering thing.
Anyone got any ideas on how to:
One restore the Desktop/Start Menu Shortcuts without a reinstall. And...
Two uninstall/reinstall/update itunes when getting this problem?
Thanks folks.

Your problems with the shortcuts and the uninstalls actually have the same root cause. When the itunes.msi relevant to your existing itunes installation is damaged, the Windows Installer sometimes isn't able to "see" it properly, bollixing up the install and producing that message. In your case it's also plausible that the System Restore may have wiped out the relevant itunes.msi altogether.
When you click the iTunes desktop shortcut, your Windows Installer also runs. Roughly speaking, what's happening is that it is checking your existing itunes program files and registry entries against the information in the itunes.msi about what is supposed to be on your system. If it finds you've got some files or registry entries missing, it will do a repair install of iTunes. If everything checks out, it'll just go on to run itunes. But since the relevant itunes.msi is damaged or missing, you're getting an error message instead, rather than either a repair install or a normal itunes launch.
So, if we get your .msi situation sorted out, and remove your existing itunes, we should be able to reinstall and then get you functioning properly again.
Try using the procedure I give in the following post:

Problem with reinstalling itunes

Hello there, edpp.
When having issues with installing iTunes, the following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for working toward completing it:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

Updated itunes to 11.3 on win 7 but had problems. so reinstalled itunes 11.2 but now itunes won't recognize or sync my touch 3 with 5.1.

updated itunes to 11.3 on win 7 but had problems. so reinstalled itunes 11.2 but now itunes won't recognize or sync my touch 3 with 5.1. did all the recommended fixes, appears have correct driver, all necessary itunes programs, etc. still won't work. help!

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.

Problem with installing iTunes

So these are my problems with installing iTunes.
At first it was :
A required iTunes component is not installed.Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-45019)
Then it got worse as it would not even open and these would appear:
The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
and this would appear:
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
Error 7 (Windows error 126)
I reinstalled maybe about 5 times or more...
If I thought I solved the above problem, this would appear:
iTunesHelper.exe is not installed on my computer.
I seen other people comment that you should unistall and restart the computer and install the setup again, but it does not work..
And others would say to repair the AAS or iTunes etc..
And after trying all these it does not work???
What else works?

I also tried repairing the Microsoft NET.

How do I fix this problem with my iTunes?

I've been having problems with my iTunes for over a week now - since I tried to update to iOS 5 - and I've tried everything. I've had to uninstall iTunes multiple times and each time I have reinstalled it, there has been some form of error, the list seems endless. Today, I managed to get an older version to succeessfully install but when I tried to update to the newest version, this is what appeared on my screen after the 'install.'
"The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteSystemAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll"
Any idea what this means, and/or how to resolve it?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Problem with my itunes - programme path cannot be found - can't uninstall

Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me...
I've got a problem with my itunes and I'm at a loss as to what to do!
I recently went to open itunes and as I did a message came up to say that itunes has not been properly installed and that if I want to burn cds etc, itunes needs to be properly installed. Firstly I don't understand why this message has come up as I have barely been on itunes over the past few weeks, in fact I've barely been on my laptop full stop. Secondly, when I have gone into control panel and then gone to repair itunes it says that itunes64msi path cannot be found, itunes is supposedly stored under my user and under 'app data' which is nowhere to be seen on my computer at all. I then tried to uninstall the programme completely and the same message came up. I then downloaded the newest version of itunes on the apple website but that couldn't be properly installed as there is already itunes on my system. I've also tried to remove the programme whilst in safe mode but haven't had any success.
SO confused as to what's gone on, don't understand how itunes is still a programme on my computer but appears to be wiped from my computer at the same time.
I'm running on a windows 7 64 bit operating system and if anyone could help me I'd be so so grateful!!

Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

Create an OS X Mountain Lion Installation Boot DVD or USB Drive with LionDiskMaker

Mountain Lion is out! You can upgrade a Mac right out of the App Store, but some people prefer to make a boot disk. If you’re in that group, rather than making a bootable OS X Mountain Lion installer yourself the old fashioned way, you can do it all in a few clicks with the help of a free app called LionDiskMaker.
After you’ve downloaded the OS X Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store, launch LionDiskMaker and it will locate the installer app, extract the disk image, and then make the boot disk. It’s about as simple as it gets.
For burning a boot DVD you will need a 4.7GB or larger blank DVD and a SuperDrive. For USB install drives or SD cards the drive needs at least 8GB of space available. LionDiskMaker formats the drive you point it at, remember that when you are picking a disk to make bootable for the installer.
Get the newest version of LinoDiskMaker free from the developer
Making a boot installer is really helpful if you need to install Mountain Lion on multiple Macs and don’t want to re-download it on each Mac from the App Store, or if you want to perform a clean install. If you don’t need the bootable aspect, you can also just copy the Installer app file from the /Applications/ directory to other Macs and it will work to perform the OS X upgrade too.
LionDiskMaker has been around since Lion but it has recently been updated with Mountain Lion support, heads up to CultOfMac for the reminder

I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country. Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are.
Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

Problem with my iTunes store, cannot search, stays in one application that I already purchased. Please help!

Go to Settings, Store, Apple ID, Sign out and then sign back in again and have another go.
Also, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
