Try to install iTunes on Vista 64 bit on a clean install but it refuses to install

I download the 64 bit version for install on my PC, but during install i noticed it was being installed to Program files (x86) which confused me. so I changed it to Program files in the setup preferences and proceeded to install. It gets half way through installing and gives up. Am I to guess that iTunes 64 is not really 64 bit at all but a psuedo to give it that impression. If it is going to install into a 32 bit directory then I have no recourse but to assume the latter.
     Any ideas how I can get this to install on my Windows Vista 64 bit. Either way it comes up with scripting errors every time I try now. What is needed is an apple cleaner to get rid of elements of the old installs hidden in places like Appdata and the registry as well as hidden MSI scripts which stop subsequent installs.

An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32="8.0.50727.6195".publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a 1e 18e 3b".processorArchitechture="x86'''.Please refer to help and support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054f.
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? Are they also 8007054F, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

    I've been having the same issue for the past few months. Try this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    go through each step of the general installation troubleshooting completely then restart your computer and try to install it again. It worked for me on the first try so hopefully this helps!

  • Hi.  I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit.  I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes.  Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time.  I've turned off my pop-up blocker.  Any ideas greatly appreciated

    Hi.  I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit laptop.  I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes.  Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time.  I've turned off my pop-up blocker.  Any ideas greatly appreciated

    After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it.  After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success.  Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA.  Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully.  I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough.  The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded.  Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.

  • Installing iTunes on Vista 64-bit

    *Looking for 64-bit support from Apple*
    I'm running the 64-bit version of Windows and was disappointed to find out that Apple does not support it (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301 ). I tried to install iTunes anyway and the installation failed. This forum didn't provide any initial solutions that I could find so now that I've figured it out I thought I would post a solution for those that come looking.
    *How do I know if I have the 64-bit version of Vista?*
    Press the windows key and the Pause/Break key at the same time (the pause/break key is normally in the upper right corner of the keyboard). On the window that appears look for the label "System Type." next to it you will see text indicating whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Vista.
    *What Will happen if I try to install Vista?*
    You experience may varry, but when I tried the installation ran for a while and ended with a message saying Quicktime could not be installed. I checked the Programs menu and iTunes was not listed after this failure.
    *How do I successfully install iTunes on a 64-bit edition of Vista?*
    When you download iTunes select the option to save the installation instead of running it immediatly. After the download completes right-click on the installation and select properties. Under the "Compatibility" tab check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for." Ensure that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected. Also check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator." Click on okay and the install iTunes.
    *Will this also work for XP 64-bit edition?*
    I don't know.
    *I've successfully installed iTunes on my 64-bit machine. Can I use it to activate my iPhone?*
    No.
    If you try to activate your iPhone you will receive a message saying "Please connect iPhone to a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows XP (SP2) or Windows Vista."
    *What happens if I set iTunes to run in Compatibility mode*
    iTunes will detect that it is running in a compatibility mode and suggest that you turn the mode off and restart iTunes. Since it recognizes that it is running on a 64-bit machine it will still refuse to activate an iPhone. Bummer.
    *If I activate my iPhone on another machine then can i transfer content to it on Vista 64-bit edition?*
    Nope. iTunes will instruct you to connect the phone to a 32-bit machine.

    Yes the forum has been misbehaving recently hence my double post. Ther should be an edit button, but it is only present for a few minute.
    The error you are getting has certainly been associated with a failure of Windows updates, but I don't know if the one you mention is an issue.
    The microsoft link to the update problem is;
    http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/ca7d15d7-8ee3-4993-bd01-753d adc904121033.mspx
    That's about as far as I can go with this I am afraid.

  • It seems iTunes for Vista 64 bit isn't itself a 64 bit application

    When I am on my 64 bit Vista box and I go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ site and it identified my system as "Vista (64-bit)" and I proceed with the download, and run the installer it provided it installed into c:\program files (x86)\ which is where it installs 32 bit programs. I also verified the file name to be the 64 bit one as identified in this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301301.
    If it is installing into x86 folder it is not a 64 bit application. It may be a special 32 bit application that works correctly on the 64 bit version of Vista but it is not 64 bit according to Vista. Most of what I have seen seems to be misleading and not be clear on this, it seems to be implying that it is a 64 bit version of iTunes when it is not. This may have been unintentional on Apple's part.

    Yeah I am not disputing that it is doing what it is supposed to. I am just disputing that it is misleading. I think it should be very clear and state that this is a 32 bit version of iTunes specific for installing on 64 bit versions of Vista.

  • HT1923 Can not Update to the lastest version of iTunes Windows Vista 32 bit

    I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a compaq laptop. I am trying to update to the lastest version of iTunes. I have tried to remove all of the exsisting componets of itunes but I am not able to remove iTunes and Apple Software Update. I get the same error message when trying to remove either. 
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click ok to try again,or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes.msi" in the box below.
       Does anyone know how to remove these  items or how to proceed from here?

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click ok to try again,or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes.msi" in the box below.
    (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):

  • Help!!! Trouble moving iTunes from Vista 64-bit to Windows 7 64-bit???

    I've got 64-bit iTunes installed and, seemingly, working just fine on my new laptop. But I can't figure out how to get iTunes to "see" my old library (currently running on my old Vista Ultimate 64-bit laptop), including playlists and info like date added.
    Is there an installation or migration guide out there?

    Never mind, I figured it out. The trick was to
    1) Install
    2) Start and let it open/create an empty library.
    3) Exit.
    4) Hold down shift and restart, then select my library.
    Now all seems good, including iPhone sync.

    Its a Issue with your C++ Library on your computer, a way to fix it is to Rebuild your entire C++ Library from uninstalling the highest version to the lowest verision and reinstalling them back in chronological order..
    I would suggest to contact apple support, request a Senior advisor they should be able to get that squared away, now if your not in phone support period you will probably have to pay for support.
    I'd suggest the apple care if you havent got it yet

  • Internet Security Suite does not work with Vista 64 bit

    After attempting to use the Chat Help, twice, and spending hours in queue before getting kicked off, I finally called Support to find out why my new Vista computer was not running the Internet Security Suite that I downloaded.  Yes, I found the link to "download to a second computer" and went thru all the steps.  Got lots of positive feedback: little bars were filling in letting me know I was 40%, 72%, 100% done, etc..  Was given a window allowing me to Run or Don't Run the software.  It all seemed to go very well.  However, when the "download and installation" was complete, there was no new software running anywhere on my computer.  Couldn't find it in the Control Panel, the Start menu, or the system tray.  Called Support and spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with a "technician" (and I use that term VERY loosely) who had to have major assistance from a co-worker before he could even start screen-sharing with me and, during the course of our time together, made the following brilliant remarks:
    Upon seeing my desktop wallpaper (which is a lovely photo of some cliffs and a lake - and it came with Vista), he wanted to know what the picture was.  Not where it was taken, but just what it was.  His exact comment was "Does your screen always look like that?".  I had to dig deeper to determine if he was asking about a particular icon or some other computer related concern that he saw (he was "technical support", after all), but he was just asking about the stupid photo.
    He couldn't find the Control Panel in the Start Menu until after trying several times, and then he couldn't navigate to the Programs area very well (I had to give verbal hints as to where it was), and his brilliant comment then was "I really need to go to my mom's house and get on her new laptop and try out Vista."  Can you believe that Verizon has technical support folks who have never used Vista?  It's not like Vista just came on the market yesterday!!
    So, when he finally decided that he was not going to be able to help me, he didn't offer me any other recourse.  He just stated over and over that he was not sure how to solve this issue.  Oh, and this was after I re-downloaded ISS (again, "successfully").  I had to ask if there was someone else there who could possibly help me.  He offered to put me on hold (for the 2nd or 3rd time at this point) to check around.  When he returned to the phone, it was obvious that someone else was operating the mouse in the screen sharing mode because the operator moved confidentially around the screen and went immediately to system properties and saw that I am running Windows 64 bit.  The other operator then told my guy to tell me that ISS only works with Windows 32 bit.  Their final resolution was that I should call billing on Monday and end my subscription.  I think that may be the only good advice I was given that day.
    So, am probably going to renew my trial version of Norton on this new computer and remove ISS from the laptop and put Norton on there as well.  Apparently, they are up to date with this fancy new technology.  At least they probably know about sophisticated and highly technical stuff like desktop wallpaper.

    I have been trying to get somewhere with this Internet Security Suite...and now have come to the conclusion this is not going to work.  Now running Vista 64 bit, and have gotten nothing but the run around to try to complete the downloading of the program.  I've contacted Verizon Tech Support...then tell me that this works with the 64 bit but I need to contact Windows as there is a glitch and they give you the steps to get thru it.  Windows advises me to contact Verizon again as there are no problems with the OS.  Also have contacted Radialpoint and once again nothing...Obviously the Secuirty is not compatible with Vista 64 bit yet, which I just can't believe like you said...it's not like it was just yesterday this OS came out.  My frusteration comes from nobody steps up to take any responsibility as to what the problem is.  If it is not compatible yet then say so and not waste my whole weekend trying to get a straight answer.  I have other computers that I am currently using the service on and do like the program, but as for my Vista 64 bit looks like I may go to Macafee for protection.  It just amazes me as big as Verizon is and as popular this Vista has become they are not on the ball in keeping up with technology.

  • CAN'T INSTALL ITUNES 9 ON WINDOWS VISTA 64-BIT OS

    Hey guys!
    I'm having a reaaaallly hard time installing iTunes on my Windows Vista 64-bit OS. Everytime I think it's about to finish installing, it shows me this message:
    What does it mean?? Can someone PLEASE help me, I haven't had music on my iPhone for 4 weeks now!

    Curses ... you did everything right by providing the screenshot, thanks. But we really need to see the error message number that shows up after the "HRESULT" bit for one of those, and it's deciding not show us that.
    Okay ... people who get these error messages for iTunes installs typically are also getting Windows updates failures too. So we'll try to work out what the iTunes/Updates issue is by checking your Update history.
    Go into your Windows Update and click "Update History". Have updates been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on each failure to bring up a small window showing some info about the failure.
    What error message codes are you getting for the Windows Updates failures? (For example, 0x8007000B, or something else?)
