Your system has not been modified. To retry these operation at a later time, please run the installer again. Click Finish to exit installer.
I have erased all itunes from my computer and downloaded it and tried to install it over 5 times and it still wont install. Please Help Me
See if you can get itunes to install from another Windows user account. That will tell you if the problem is system-wide or user-related.
Then try other steps listed in this article:

I''ve tried running from an external harddrive running in safe mode everything gives the same error...
I had to find this solution from another site, so thanks to all the people who viewed this thread & knew how to fix this but didn't bother.
If anyone is weary enough to come to this forum to solve this problem, here is one solution that worked for me & it may work for you if you encounter the error:
"the installer encountered errors before safari could be configured"
1. Use a trustworthy registry cleaner to clean your registry such as Ccleaner or Advanced System Care. This step may not be necessary though.
2. Go to "C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData(Hidden)\Local\Temp" & delete everything in it.
3. If step 2 still doesn't allow you to install Safari, then try:
4. Open Start type "CMD" in the search button, then in the cmd prompt "Regedt32"
5. In the reg editor open:
"Computer" / "HKEYCURRENTUSER" / "Software" / "Apple Computer, Inc." & try deleting the entries for any Apple programs that may be causing any conflicts.
Be aware that any programs that you delete registry entries for may not function correctly afterwards or need to be reinstalled, but this more drastic measure should hopefully allow the installation of Safari browser.
Hope this helps any further visitors to this forum looking to solve this problem it worked for me, good luck.

ITunes could not connect to the iTunes store. Error 11333-please help!!
When I open iTunes, its fine. When I try to go to the iTunes store it says: iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. Unknown error occured (11333)
I had the same problem - it has something to do with the certificates and found resolution in German and Italian support pages.
I'm not skilled in Italian, but was able to install the root certificate and CRL successfully to PC following the guidance at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306628-it -
Please help. I have a new nano, but I cant access the iTunes store. When I click on the store it tells me I am accessing the store, but nothing happens. When I have clicked on the help function I am told my computer is not connected to the Internet, which is not correct - I usually have other sites running at the time.
Please help.
Thanks,

Version 10.6 installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured
I have a Windows desktop and run Windows Vista Home Premium. I have been tryin gto update iTunes for quite some time and with each new version that comes out I get the same installer encountered errors message. I have tried several fixes that are posted online, but none seem to work
The installation gets to the Apple Software Updater and then errors out.
Does anyone have a known fix for this?I'm using version 8.2 lately and i downgraded to version 7 for some reason.... After i got my new iPhone 3GS yesterday. Which is needed the 8.2 version....So i uninstall the version 7 and re-install the version 8.2 again and i got this message....
*"A NETWROK OCCURED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO READ FROM THE FILE C:\WINDOWS\INSTALLER\BONJOUR.MSI".....*
I try to check this file in my C:\ Drive but unfortunately i can't find it and i can't install the iTunes 8.2..... and the bad thing is i can't f#*******ing use my new iPhone 3GS....
Please help me or otherwise maybe just return it to the shop and get something else instead of this new iPhone 3GS...... too much trouble.... -
I received this errir msg when I wants to sync my 3gs iPhone. And I already update my iTunes to 64-bit. "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed.Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version itunes".
First make sue you are installing the 64 bit version of iTunes.
Second make sure it is iTunes 10.7 or later.
I would download a fresh copy of the 64 bit version of iTunes 11. After installation reboot your computer.
Before connecting your phone reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem. -
Installer Encountered Errors - PLEASE HELP
Hi,
Getting very annoyed - sat at the computer for almost 2 hours.
Have windows Vista and finally it has allowed me access to install iTunes. When I go through the stages to install I get the following message:
+The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.+
I have tried so many times. Windows is up to date and I have looked at the troubleshooting pages and am getting nowhere. I want to play with my new toy and can't. Can anyone help me get this thing installed successfully.
Thank you!See if you can get itunes to install from another Windows user account. That will tell you if the problem is system-wide or user-related.

I've also tried re installing itunes 10, but when I go to open it it comes up with the message 'The files itunes libray.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes'. Please help.

Seriously no idea whats going on, and I'm usually pretty good with figuring an issue
Heres the isse:
When updating iTunes, after the restart I booted up iTunes and it crashed. I was prompted with iTunes had been updated incorrectly and to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. After downloading the installer from itunes.ca. I opened up the application, and clicked Next. Under the directory it says M Drive, I dont have an M drive at all, I click change and a prompt pops that says, "The volume M:/ is currently unavailable. Please select another." with "ok" being the only selection.
After hitting ok, it says "itunes installer completed" "Errors occured during installation before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation, run the installer again. Click Finish to exit the installer." Finish is the only selectable, and upon restarting the installer the same thing happens. I hope theres someone who can help me out with this.Hello Fix88,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing iTunes. I found a couple of resources that I think will help with this.

New 7.6 iTunes64Setup.exe "The installer encountered errors before iTunes..
I am using Vista 64 bit. Used 64 bit IE to download the proper file
iTunes64Setup.exe
from
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
But I get this error when I try to install:
The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit the installer.
I tried installing when logged in as an administrator, and again as a a user, again same results. I tried uninstalling 32 bit iTunes 7.5 and rebooting, but the issue still remains. I manually wiped away the
c:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory (had only one file in there after uninstall), same problem.
FYI, this is just my secondary machine, so I'm not worried about loosing anything. So registry cleaning likely. But first, I'll try installing on a pristine 64 bit Vista virtual machine, just to see if the installer binary itself runs correctly on a machine without a history of iTunes 32 bit.
Is this a known issue with 7.6 64 bit? Is there a workaround?
There are many search hits for similar errors under 7.5 32 bit, but I seem to be alone with this error with 64 bit installer, for now...FYI, I downloaded iTunes64Setup.exe again (not from cache), despite same exact filesize on my hard drive, this time, no install error, problem solved. So perhaps Apple uses no built-in CRC error detection, but at least it works now. I'm so glad 64 bit Vista is finally properly supported without errors about CD burning when you start it (I never bothered with the gear drivers workaround).
I did notice it still installs in the
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
directory despite being a 64 bit app, not sure if that matters, and not sure if it's a side effect of having 32 bit version in that directory previously. -
I tried to install in my Sony Vaio Laptop - Model Name SVF15218SGW Serial No 54****************954. After installation of itunes, when i am trying to connect error message is showing as follows -
"This iphone cannot be used because the required software not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove the itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes".
i already installed 64bit version. but not connecting my iphone with itunes
PLEASE HELP.!!!!
<Personal Information Edited by Host>Hello Negaz
When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall it by using the article below or just uninstalled iTunes? The best practice is to remove not only iTunes, but also other associating software in the order that the first article give. If that does not work, then check out the second article for more troubleshooting options for connecting your iPhone to your computer.

HELP!!!
I am trying to install iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop and get this error:
"The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified"
Arghhhhh!! I've tried different browsers and various other things suggested on other posts to no availOk people, I think I have found the solution !
If you click on the start button from your desktop screen.
Then in the "search programs and files" field type : apple software update - you can find the apple installer.
Click on the apple software update line and let the machine run it's course. I recommend updating whatever it wants to , ie: safari 5, quicktime, itunes....
I then restarted my computer and it seems to be working now !
Good luck everyone ! -

What do I do when I am trying to install my new version of itunes, and it says this: The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified.
I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.
Maybe you are looking for
