Re-installing itunes Error message Apple application software not found error 2
I am re-installing Itunes on my home computer at itunes request.
I am getting an error mesage that apple applicatin software not found Error 2
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
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 suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
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 AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found
Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found. What is the fix for this?
It is always these four updates that fail. I've tried downloading and installing them seperately from apple downloads. I've tried various recommended fixes, and nothing I can figure out works. Before these problems, itunes worked on the computer for a year.
Thank you again for wanting to help me.

Im running windows 8 on my desktop. i tried to reinstall itunes and when i open it i get the following message " Apple Application Support not found, Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes". I have a folder on my desktop that has files in it that says Apps removed during refresh and there is Apple files in there. Im guessing this could be a windows issue but Im not to good with computers. Any help would be great.
Hello agerveler,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like we may need to do a complete removal of iTunes and its components, followed by a reinstall. Follow the instructions in the following article to resolve your issue:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and each time it says to re-install iTunes but it doesn't solve the problem. I've been trying to get this to work all day and I'm extremely frustrated. Someone please help me with this. I've done all the reserach on how to fix this and nothing has worked. I just get the same message over and over again.
When I go do download iTunes I get a screen that says, "The feature you are tyring to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." Then is says "Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package iTunes64.msi in the box below". I click "OK" and it says that the path cannot be found. Don't know what do to here.
Sounds like at least two different things are happening to you at once here.
Steps for dealing with the "network resource" message, follow:
(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 iTunes 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? -

Itune launch issue-Apple Application Support not found
I did some serious cleaning on my computer yesterday and may have accidentally removed a program that is needed to open Itunes. When I click to open Itunes, I get an error message stating that Apple Application Support was not found. I have tried to re-install itunes and that has not worked. If I completely remove Itunes, will I lose all my music??
You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try installing AppleApplicationSupport again. It may still fail to install but you may get more useful error messages as to why not.

I have recently installed itunes 10.5, however when i try to get back into itunes it says "apple application support not found" and that i have to uninstall itunes and reinstall to make it work. I tried to do this but it said it couldn't do this. Does anyone have any ideas on how i ca retrieve my itunes on my pc? Thanks
Hi all
I had the same problem and was able to solve it, kindly follow the below steps;
Download the installation file iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunesSetup64.exe if you are on a 64-bit system) from apple
Extract or unzip the iTunesSetup.exe
Open the folder iTunesSetup (or iTunesSetup64) created in the previous step
Double-click the file AppleApplicationSupport.msi
(or AppleApplicationSupport64.msi if you have a 64-bit system)
Choose
"Repair" if you are prompted (if you are not prompted that's fine, too)
Your iTunes installation should work now.
Regards,

I have a new iTouch. I'm having trouble downloading iTunes. I keep getting the error message: "Apple Application Software was not found. Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2." I have uninstalled and tried installing again and get the same error message. What do i need to do?
LgInstall 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.
