Unable to install itunes 10.1 on vista 64-Bit

Hi, I have been trying to get itunes 10.1 installed on my vista system so that I can use my new ipod touch. I have tried the update within itunes, but it just stops without anything happening. I have tried downloading the 64-Bit version but the it says "The Windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
I have tried multiple different things suggested through google, and some on here regarding trying to get the windows installer to work, but have had no success. I was wondering if anyone has a solution?

Yeah I have Office but it is working fine, along with all other programmes I have installed. Is it worth uninstalling Office?
No no! We'll leave that in place.
Okay ... let's try a re-registration of both your 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Installer Services.
In your start menu, in your Start Search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At your command prompt:
Type *%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister* and hit enter.
Type *%windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister* and hit enter.
Type *%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver* and hit enter.
Type *%windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver* and hit enter.
You can close your command, now.
Are you able to do an iTunes install now?

    Hi I am unable to install itunes on my Windows 8 64 bit PC, can you help please

    Many thanks.
    the message I get says unable to remove old version of itunes
    (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?

  • 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?)

  • I am unable to install iTunes due to update (vista)

    I was prompted to update my iTunes to the latest version (along with QuickTime). when I clicked update, it deleted the old iTunes and made a shortcut, but I am unable to use iTunes or QuickTime. when I tried to reinstall them it opened the installer and just when it was almost done (publishing product information) it brings up a message saying   "An error occurred durring the intallation or assembly 'mictosoft. VC80.CRT,type=''win32" , version="8.0.50727.6195" ,publicKeyToken=" 1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b" .processorArchitecture="x86'" .please refer to help and support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD"

    I finally got the program to install/run.  I downloaded a third copy and saved it again on the desktop.  I selected "Run as Administrator" instead of "Run"  It must have been the 10th plus time I tried to install, but this time it completed.  I don't know if the "Run as Administrator" was the key since it is Vista, or if I just got lucky. Either way I am relieved.

  • CAN'T INSTALL ITUNES ON MY WINDOWS VISTA 64-BIT SYSTEM

    Hey guys,
    I'm having a hard time installing Itunes on my 64-bit Windows Vista system. Everytime I think it's about to finish installing, it shows this message.
    Someone, please help me! I haven't had music on my iPhone for 4 weeks now!

    Not Windows RT then .  When you say "I've tried both" do you mean the 32- and 64-bit installers for Windows?  In the first instance you should go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ - this should detect the version of Windows you are running and offer the correct installer.  It'll look like this:
    Click on Download Now - this will download the correct installer for you to run and install iTunes.
    There is, however, some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded.  As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe
    of which you'll need the second one.  See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation; you may also need to consult HP's helpdesk as the error message you report may be symptomatic of a Windows issue, not an iTunes one.

  • Error while installing itunes software on windows vista 32 bit operating system.

    Hi friends,I am getting an itune installation error,Microsoft.VC80.CRT.version=8.0.50727.4053,The operating system in windows vista,i donwloaded itunes with IE as well as firefox,but always same error message is coming.Please help me out with this error.

    I browsed this page earlier, and now im back to explain how i fixed my problem which is similar to yours.
    All of the below must be followed manually: (that windows msgbox error is just confusing you) be reminded that:
    %appdata% is not a network location. It is a systemwide variable used by Windows OS. %appdata% is a directory on your computer
    I have win 7 OS, and i tweaked the below values so the Nokia_PC_Suite will install:
    follow ALL of the following one by one:
    -----first, the package----
    first, go to the file which you downloaded from the net, (usually: Nokia_PC_Suite_eng_web.exe) right click the file and click properties, then click the compatibility tab and tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" then (select your OS on drop down box) then also click the lowermost button, "Run this program as administrator" then click OK. and close the properties box.
    ----second, the registry----(carefull a little mistake will render your machine unusable, so don't mess inside registry)
    enter your registry by >> Start > Run > "type" regedit (without the word type) expand the following:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders, (on the right pane) you will see AppData, double click AppData and change the value to: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming
    do the above to below location also: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    ----third, Windows environment variables----
    in your windows, right click the "My Computer", then click "Properties" then click the Advanced tab, on the lowermost of the window click the button [Environment Variables], click edit and change the value of "Temp" to variable value: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.
    Now double click (re-install) the Nokia package which you have downloaded from Nokia website and i hope it will install flawlessly this time

  • Unable to install JRE 6u24 at Windows Vista 64 bit

    Hej
    When I start I see a dilalog window popup and then it is removed imeediately. I am not able to see the text. Then nothing happens. When I go through all running processes I see that 3 instances of msiexec.exe have started. One of them takes 13% of the CPU and will run for ever.
    Any suggestions?
    Regards
    Anders

    Do the following:
    1. Ensure that you are a member of the Windows Administrators group. If not, you will not be able to perform the installation.
    2. Ensure that any previous attempts to install have been terminated (refer to the Task Manager)
    3. Decrease or disable UAC. Refer to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off
    4. Once you have completed the above (reboot may be necessary), right mouse click on the JRE installable you downloaded (i.e. jre-6u24-windows-i586.exe). Select "Run as Administrator"
    Be sure to do this from the local machine and not a remote machine. For example do not do this using VNC, Remote Desktop Sharing, ect.
    Also, if you have older JRE versions installed, I would recommend uninstalling them and rebooting first.

    Unable to install iTunes after converting from Windows Vista to Windows 7.  Am told installation was successful, then "iTunes was not installed correctly", followed by "Error 7 (Windows error 193).  I have my iPod plugged into my computer via USB port.  What am I doing wrong?

    i have the only account on my laptop so have checked and am the account administrator
    i run windows 7 home premium
    I have the same problem and
    have followed the link uninstalling in the correct order,
    then restarted as per instructions,
    went to Apple to download itunes,
    hit download now,
    Visit the iTunes download page. Click Download Now to download the iTunes installer. When prompted, click Save (instead of Run).
    did not get a save instead of run prompt
    Right click on iTunesSetup or iTunes64Setup (the installer you downloaded in step 3).
    If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: Choose "Run as administrator."
    i can only click run as administrator from right clicking the shortcut on my desktop screen
    If iTunes fails to install or repair, it might be necessary to remove components left from a previous installation of iTunes and then reinstall.

  • I am still unable to install itunes in Windows Vista

    I have tried to run Fix it 4 times now after doing other things suggested in the Apple community and I am still unable to install itunes. Do you have any other ideas?
    I've been uninstalling/reinstalling and using CCcleaner, sfcscannow and nothing seems to correct error msg 2- corrupt files found/unable to fix.  Now what??????
    I am using windows Vista.  I NEED help!

    nothing seems to correct error msg 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:
    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 instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Unable to install iTunes, I get an error saying it is unable to create the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\da.lproj\iPodWelcomeOffline.nib

    Unable to install iTunes, I get the following error:

    That one's 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?

    Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    I am trying to install it on my desktop.  I am also in Administrator mode.  My iTunes stopped working when I was notified that there was a new version of iTunes and would I like to download it. I said yes as always and it was unable to finish the update because of a
    runtime Error!
    Program: C:\program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contace the application's suport team for more information.
    My iTunes stopped working at this time.  I thought I could delete iTunes and start over. This tactic did not work.
    Can anyone make sense of what I am saying and help me to get my iTunes back again?

    Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
    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.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
