Was Not Installed Properly? Windows x64 Bit...

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem installing the latest version of iTunes onto my Windows XP Pro 64Bit Computer...
Once iTunes is installed, everytime i open it i get an error message pop-up, which reads the following...
"itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's you need to reinstall itunes"
I reinstall itunes, only to get the exact same error. (Ive tried this a number of times now)
What could be the problem?
Many thanks.

ITunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit. My only way to recover is to restore my system. iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly. When will Apply provide a workable update?

iTunes 11.1.4 will not install properly - windows 8.1, 64 bit. The only way I have found to recover is to restore my system. I have unistalled/reintalled iTunes two times. No success. iTunes 11.1.3.8 functions properly (following system restore). When is Apply expected to provide a workable update?

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

I have tried to update my itunes program. It was running great until I attempted the update now all I get is an error message that says "Itunes was not installed properly, Please reinstall itunes, Error 7 (Windows erroe 126)". What can I do to get my it

I tried updating my itune program. Now all I get is the following message "Itunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). WHAT can I do to get back to where my itunes program is running again?
I have uninstalled the proram and tried reinstalling and get the same error message. The other error message I get is "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem". I have tried that twice with no luck. Can someone help me get my music back???

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

Tried to upgrade and after uninstalling and reinstalling several times, keep getting "procedure entry point could not be located in dynamic link library" followed by "iTunes was not installed properly" Error 7.....Help, please??

Tried to upgrade as instructed and after uninstalling and reinstalling (even back to the former iTunes which I was happy with)several times, keep getting message "Procedure entry point could not be located in dynamic link library" followed by "iTunes was not installed properly" "Error 7". Help, please??

Entry point errors can usually be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of from the programs and features control panel. Unfortunately you neglected to include the detail of which dll is mentioned.
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.

I have downloaded itunes numerous times with no success. When I click the icon it says that "itunes has stopped working" and then says that "itunes was not installed properly. It provides an error message code, but it overlayed by another message.

I downloaded itunes. It initially indicated that the download was successful, however, when I click the itunes icon, it says "ituns was not installed properly". It then gives me the message "itunes has stopped working"

Not completely sure. But if you think it is an iTunes issue...... follow through this: Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
ALSO, if you feel like all your music will be gone as well follow through these 2:
> Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
IF YOU THINK ITS A COMPUTER ISSUE, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE DOING ALL THIS.

Hello Debbie,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. It sounds like you have tried reinstalling iTunes twice, but you may need to reinstall Microsoft's .NET Framework:
Resolution
This issue may be caused by a bad installation of a version of Microsoft's .NET Framework. It's important to note that versions 2.0, 3.5, and 4.0 can all exist side-by-side. Click the arrow next to your OS to reveal links to the versions of Microsoft's .NET Framework that are applicable to your OS; you will need to download and install ALL of these. These links will take you to a download page. Click the download button on this page and click Save in the subsequent window to save the installer to your Downloads folder.
Windows XP:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP 1Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=0a391abd-25c1-4fc0-9 19f-b21f31ab88b7Windows Vista:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP 1
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
Note: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is already installed as part of Windows Vista. You can not modify the installation of this version of the .NET Framework in Windows Vista.
Windows 7:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
Note: Microsoft .NET Framework versions 2.0 and 3.5 are already installed as part of Windows 7. You can not modify the installations of these versions of the .NET Framework in Windows 7.
To resolve this issue, run these installers one at a time and follow the instructions on screen to install each applicable version of the .NET Framework. If this version of the .NET Framework is already installed, you may see a screen similar to the one shown below.
If you see this screen, select Repair and then click Next to repair the installation of the .NET Framework.

Beyond Frustrated with Error 7, itunes was not installed properly....

This past Monday I started my computer as normal after turning it off the night before. I noticed when turning it off that several updates were being installed but this happens occasionally so i thought nothing of it. After starting my computer Monday, Error 7 popped up saying itunes was not installed properly and could not be installed. I researched this and after many uninstall attempts on my own and at the advice of another person in this community having the same issue, I installed Revo and uninstalled all the components of itunes. I used several of the scans that were offered as well to make sure that everything Apple was removed from my computer. I have now done this 6 times. Each time, I restart my computer, download itunes and get the same error. Something like I don't have the privileges to download Apple support... Regardless I am extremely irritated and have no clue as to what I am doing wrong. Please someone tell me what to do. Thanks.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

The software required to communicated with iPods was not installed properly

Upon connecting my iPod to iTunes I get this message: "The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?"
Upon answering YES, iTunes shows an iPhone indicator in the upper right corner (even though a phone is not connected); but upon connecting the iPod, nothing happens.
So.......I try reinstalling iTunes as a REPAIR and get this message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes64msi" in the box below.
Use Source:
C:\Users\User\AppData|Local|Apple Software
How can i fix this and not lose my 10,00 plus iTunes Library?
Thanks for any help.

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes64msi"
(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?

ITunes was not installed properly. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes

With Windows 7 I have completely deleted anything that was associated with Apple, Help, Support, you name it. It was verified nothing Apple. Reboot took place. I reinstalled iTunes per instructions and once again I got the following:
iTunes was not properlyinstalled. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes.
Oviously something is amiss.

Having finally found a post to the same situation, I ran diagnostics and believe I have the same problem as this post. Here is the diagnostic report:
Microsoft Windows 7 Business Edition Service Pack 1 (Build 7601)
Hewlett-Packard HP EliteBook 8460p
iTunes 1.14.43
Apple Application Support 2.1.9
