Trying to install iTunes 10.5 on Windows 7

I have the 64-bit version of Windows 7 and everytime I try updating to iTunes 10.5 I get this error message:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture="x86"'.Please refer to Help and Support for more information.HRESULT:0x80070246.
I have no clue what that means. I've tried uninstalling my Apple software through the Control Panel, rebooting, and trying to download iTunes again but I keep getting the same error message.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't install iTunes 10.5? I would like to connect my iPhone 4S to my computer.
Thanks

I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
- Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
- un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
- For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
- run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this) in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
- reboot PC
- Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
- run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
- reboot PC
- run cccleaner
- reboot PC
- install itune 10.5
Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

Hello,
I am Trying to install iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) and I get an Itunes window with an error that says:

I already:

- Installed the security update’ Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update’
But I still get the same error.
Can someone help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you still have trouble you might consider installing the alternate version iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards) where you can download a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of iTunes that works with older video cards. This version may also be useful for anyone who is unable to get the 64-bit version of Apple Application Support to install when using the itunes6464setup file, or has trouble with playback of certain video files despite having QuickTime installed.

Trying to install itunes but keep getting windows error126 message and libicuin.dll missing

trying to install itunes but keep getting windows error 126 message and libicuin.dll missing have reinstalled numerous times and keep getting same messages.

Are you saving the installer first and then installing, or are you running the installer directly from Apple's website? Also save first.
If you're saving first and still having issues, try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If not mentioned in the articles, make a new user account in Windows and see if iTunes opens. That will tell you if there's something funky in your main account (if the new user works), or if you have a system-wide issue.

VBScript Error when trying to install iTunes 7.2 on Windows Vista PC

I downloaded iTunes v7.2 + Quicktime. When I try to install, I receive the following error:
"iTunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn-off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript, and then install iTunes."
I installed my current version of iTunes v7.1.1.5 on my new Windows Vista PC just a month or so ago and never encountered this error. I have also tried to update Quicktime and get this same error. Why am I getting this error now? What do I need to do to 1) ensure VBScript is installed, 2) that script blocking is turned off since I don't see any settings in my Windows Live OneCare that allow me to do anything related to scripting, and finally 3) re-register VBScript?
PLEASE HELP. Thanks!

although the following document refers to XP rather than Vista, it's still worth a crack on a Vista box:

I keep getting an error message while trying to install itunes on my new windows 7 (64 bit)

During the install i receive this error message.
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
It gives me the options to Abort, Retry, or Ignore.
I have attempted to retry and it just comes back. I have tried to ignore this and the install does not complete properly.
I am using firefox to do this download. Could this be causing a problem.
What do I need to do?

What operating system do you run on your Mac?
You have to be running Snow Leopard on a 64-bit machine.

maybe you can let us know what the error message says. I would say you need to make sure you completely uninstall any previous iTunes installation/component first. Follow this guide:

I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.

I am trying to install itunes after downloading Windows 8.1. I get an Windows Error 2 message-- "Apple Application Support is required to run itunes helper." Any suggestions?

I am trying to install itunes (64 bit) after downloading Windows 8.1 on my HP Laptop. I keep getting an error message Windows Error 2--"Apple App;ication Support is required to run itunes helper" Does anyone have any simple suggestions for a user with limited knowledge of Computers?

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.)
