Trouble Re-Installing iTunes

I have received this error message when attmpting to re-install itunes, "there is a problem with the windows installer package. a program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." I tried downloading and saving the itunes setup and doing the quicktime stand alone installation and it failed. Any tips? I can't have uninstalled and tried to install it all over several times, please help. Thank you!

Those ones are consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Hello, i'm having trouble with installing iTunes.

There appears an error, saying - 'policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32-policy".version="8.0.50727.6195".pub licKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture="x86"
I\ve tries everything, but nothing helps(

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

Having trouble with Installing itunes on web site

Can someone help with this issue. I have tried installing itunes thru
www.apple.com/ipod/start
I download the program via the 'run' option and it begins to load in the temp file location. It starts to transfer until 77% (always) and then doesn't continue although the function is running. After 20 minutes the message pops up that the process time out. There is no error message. Does anyone know what would cause this?
Thanks for any help

I had the same problem, and whether you run or save when downloading it would stop at 76%. After 2 days of defragging, updating virus software, checking my registry and everything else I can think of I finally called support. Go to www.filehippo.com and download itunes from there.

I am having trouble re-installing iTunes on my windows 7 pc.....

I was having a bunch of trouble once I updated iTunes to 10. iTunes/apple mobile was taking up 100% of my CPU and making my pc SLOW! I uninstalled all things "Apple", ran a cache cleaner, rebooted and downloaded iTunes again. Now I am getting an error when I try to install it saying " There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." What does that mean? Any ideas on how to fix this? I really need to sync my iPhone!

Download the CS4 trial version from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
then use your serial number during the install.
Make sure you follow the "Very Important Instructions" on that page before downloading.

Trouble after installing ITunes 8.2 64bit

After upgrading/installing I cannot start ITunes. I get the message 'The ITunes library .itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in iTunes folder in the music folder.'
I tried uninstalling iTunes then reinstalling but I still get the same message.

OK, is there an existing iTuneslibrary.itl file there?
The error message stated
'The ITunes library .itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in iTunes folder in the music folder.'
Maybe it's trying to create one, but doesn't have enough permissions in Vista. Take full control and owernship of the entire user folder (whatever account you'reusing in Vista) and all its subfolders.
This will include the iTunes subfolder, and have enough permissinos to create things in it.

Can't re-install iTunes on replaced HD

I am having a great deal of trouble re-installing iTunes to my laptop after a hard disk replacement. I have downloaded and installed Version 10.6.3.25x64 five times now and each time I encounter the same messages as follows:
"iTunes installer completed. The installer encountered errors before it could be completed. Errors occurred during installation. You system has not been modified. Please run installer again or click finish to exit."
Followed by:
"The software required to connect to iPods and mobile phones could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices."
Followed by:
"A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-42404)"
I have checked my firewall to ensure it will allow iTunes to install and that appears to be ok.
I have used the MicrosoftFixItInstallUninstall application to (I think) totally remove any old iTunes software but each new download/install meets the same end. Would it help me to try Uninstall software you suggest ... or is there another solution?
Thank you,

A hint from another thread suggests that temporarily disabling the Windows Firewall may help with the installation of the C++ Redistributable components.

Awful Playback after installing iTunes 7

I can see from the Gapless Playback forum that some are having real trouble after installing iTunes 7. I haven't had that problem (yet) but I have noticed that if I start another application, such as a game, that has sound, then the iTunes playback breaks down and the playback is wildly distorted.
Anyone else seem this?
Any clues Apple?

I shamelessly stole this from another thread - maybe it'll help you.
The Fix:
Close iTunes 7
Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A -9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
Start
Run
Type: dxdiag
Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
Slide bar to "basic acceleration" (mine was at full, and basic is two clicks to the left)
Exit
Restart iTunes 7, and startup music
