Quicktime and itunes wont install. I have never had quicktime installed on my computer before

I recently bought an ipod touch 4g and realized that I needed itunes to activate it. After downloading itunes it wouldn't install, no error messages or anything, when I click on the installer it just doesn't do anything.
After downloading several versions of itunes (older versions) I finally found one that started to install. Then it told me that I need Quicktime on my computer in order for it to install. So I downloaded the latest version of quicktime and had the same problem, when I click on the installer, nothing happens. I tried downloading older versions of quicktime but still had the same problem.
I have never had quicktime or itunes installed on this computer before, so I know that it isn't an older version of the program hidden in my computer that is preventing the installation from happening.
My computer is running on Windows 7. I know that there wasn't a problem with downloading the software, the files weren't corrupted or anything. There are no error messages, the software doesn't even partially install. When I click on the installer, nothing happens. I have tried running the programs as an administrator and that doesn't change anything.
I have tried so many different things, but can't remember everything that I tried. Yesterday I spent nearly 10 hours trying to sort this out because I was determined to get my ipod running. I only stopped when my internet credit ran out and today after buying some more, I am trying again. Please help.

I appreciate the quick response, thank you for that.
One thing I did try was windows cleanup utility and searched through the program files for all apple software, but had none. I even deleted the temp files on my computer, and on my internet browser, but nothing happened.
One thing that I didn't think of was deleting the installation files in my downloads folder, pretty silly of me but I didn't think it would make a difference. I also spent about 2-3gig on downloads yesterday and didn't want to delete the files but as a last resort I did and emptied my recycle bin, then downloaded a fresh copy of Quicktime and finally it installed!
Now I am in the process of downloading a fresh copy of iTunes, the download hasn't finished yet so I haven't had a chance to install it yet but I have a much better feeling about it this time after deleting all the old installation files from my downloads folder. If Quicktime worked after that, I am sure iTunes will.
I can't believe it was something so simple as deleting the installation files in my downloads folder and emptying the recycle bin. I had seriously gone through my entire computer looking for any little file that was related to Quicktime or iTunes. I didn't even think of the two most obvious places. I spent so much time and credit downloading multiple files and my computer even got a virus when trying to download a copy from an unauthorized source, I had no problem getting rid of the virus, but struggled with Quicktime and iTunes, that is why I got so frustrated! I feel like an idiot now :-P
Thank you for your help. I still havent installed iTunes yet, so fingers crossed. I think it will work now though.

Accidentally took off quick time player and Itunes wont open now

so I have a pentium 3 windows 2000 IBM laptop
terrible i know
i was trying to get more memory onto my computer by deleting programs i didnt need and a supposed "computer wiz" told me that i didnt need quick time player to run Itunes.
so i took it off and now Itunes wont even open. a message pops up saying that i need to reinstall Itunes
because i have such an old computer (and buying a new one isnt an option right now) the newest version of quick time player isnt compatible with my computer
i tried downloading an older version of quicktime and that hasnt worked either
so my fear is that if i unistall and then reinstall Itunes that
a) i will lose all my music
and
b) there wont be a version of Itunes i can download since i have such an old computer
any ideas or suggests?

Uninstalling the iTunes program should not affect your music folder however to be sure nothing goes wrong you should backup you music before starting. You might also want to have a look at this page, it refers to XP but you should be able to adapt it to 2000: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components
You can get the highest version of iTunes that will work with Windows 2000 at this link: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

Macbook pro runs slow and itunes wont open

My macbook pro froze and went to a black screen while I was using quicktime so I forced shut down and rebooted and now it runs really slow and itunes and quicktime wont open. I am completely updated

Your MBP should be able to accept 6 GB RAM. I suggect that you install the maximum. Yosemite should run more efficiently as a result.
I note that you have Novatel and Sierra wireless installed. If you do not need one, delete it.
Ciao.

Have upgraded to 7.6.1 and itunes wont open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have upgraded to itunes 7.6.1 as i kept on finding more and more songs only available on newer versions and i was still on 6, anyhow since i have done this i cannot get itunes to open at all and it is driving me insane, there is no pop up with error message or anything it just wont open - any suggestions - please!!!!!!!!!

Here is an article for tropubleshooting that
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
Try opening iTunes in a different Windows user account first, to see if it is a user profile problem or system-wide.

Installed latest update and restarted computer and iTunes wont open!

I have just installed the latest update to iTunes and restarted the computer when told to and went to open iTunes to sync my latest songs and it says:
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missed.
Please reinstall iTunes."
This would result in me loosing all my music so I hope you have a solution.

A simple thing to try is a repair install. You can do this from programs on Control panel, or you can download the iTunes installer and save in on your PC. When you run it it will give the option to repair if it is the same version as the one you have installed.

Otherwise, in the past this has been associated with Spyware Terminator blocking things, but that was a while ago.
The other thing to check for is malware. You can download a free version of malwarebytes to do the scan:

Working now? If not, ask yourself what may have changed just preceding the misbehavior? Add and App? Update one? Update iOS? Anything.

Downloaded 11.1.3 and itunes wont open

Just downloaded itunes 11.1.3 and now it won't open. What to do?

hey katycakes,
yeah, i totally hear ya; I've been struggling with iTunes for the past few days, don't even wanna image what over a month would be like. (First World Problems, i guess.)
anyway, I've read through so much notes and posts the past few days trying to get it back working (and in fact, finally succeeded today), maybe I can help you out here, even though you seem to be suffering a different symptom. (To recap, my iTunes didn’t open at all; no spinning wheel, no error dialog, no nothing.)
so first things first, can you confirm that you downloaded iTunes 11.1.3 from here:
> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
and are running Mavericks 10.9.1?
next up, have you tried
- opening iTunes in 'safe boot'
as well as
- opening iTunes from a guest account?
if so, did you experience the same issue in either circumstance?
for instructions on how to boot into safe mode, see:
> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
and for instructions on enabling/disabling a guest account, refer to:
> http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11321
if you need further instructions on the procedures above, let me know.
this should help pinning down the cause of the whole mess, as I reckon it might be anything from a faulty kext, to a broken preference file, to a diseased plugin.

I have wasted hours on this for the past few days, and this is what finally worked. I uninstalled both itunes and quicktime. I then reintalled itunes and quicktime, then uninstalled quicktime only. I then reinstalled quicktime standalone. For some reason it now works. I have no idea why this worked, but there had to be something strange going on with quicktime. I would try this before I got into the system and started deleting files, and turning things off. At one point I couldn't even restart my computer.....so don't go there. I am not happy that Apple does not come forward with more help, this is a real mess.

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

My itunes wont open! but my quicktime player works fine! help please

my itunes wont opena dn ive been told that if my quick time does not open then people have solutions but what should i do if my quicktime opens fine its just my itunes that wont work??
pleas help me i appreciate it

hi ho!
well i did what u suggested and the itunes only stayed there for about 10 seconds...
hmmm. i don't really like the sound of that. it's consistent with the malware problem (it seems to be a Qoologic variant) that has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failures for a lot of people since late October.
however, there are at least two other fairly common causes of error-less launch failures (and some rarer ones), so the diagnosis can be a bit tricky. look through the diagnostic procedures and treatment suggestions given in this post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=349706&messageID=1211446
if you do get itunes launching using the MSCONFIG technique, let us know the names of the start-up items you you have to disable. (letter-for-letter-capitalisation-for-capitalisation. include the filename extensions of the start-up items.)
