Unseen ITunes error? help!

Question

I dont know what to think of this. the bottom image is the first thing that pops up, and when i hit "more details" the top window pops up. This occurs even before itunes appears, it doesnt even open slightly before i get this error. I truely have no idea what to do. It seemed to happen after i tried to completely uninstall itunes (according to the guide) and reinstalled...so now i dont have working itunes at ALL. so im kind of angry >_>
If it helps, quicktime doesnt seem to be existant on my computer, even after i reinstall itunes via itunessetup.exe
Help please! i cant stand this!

Answer 1

on earlier versions of itunes, that "offset 10001040" typically indicated a problem with the QuickTime on the PC. (itunes needs a fully functional QT in order to work properly.)
so let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1.3 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1.3 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1.3 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
