When launching iTunes get iTunes system error - program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from computer

Try reinstalling the program to fix problem. Tried to update using Apple software update. Could not update - iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes Error 7 (windows error 126)
Tried to uninstall program. Got service "AppleMobileDevice failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I have priveleges. Tried to start service manually - Windows could not start the AppleMobileDevice service on local computer, Error 1053. The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Would like help installing iTunes so that i could re-install. Any help would be appreciated.

Attempting to update itunes, received system error" Program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from computer, try reinstalling the program to fix the problem. Question, I can't access Itunes to backup library, how do I reinstall without loosing music library?

It doesn't matter and doing a manual install will not fix the problem either. I'm looking for a solution but no luck yet. I think Apple has given us a bad update.

Hi arw8669,
If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may find the following article helpful:

I can't get into my iTunes, I get this message, The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from my computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.

Has anyone had this problem, it just started today?

Hi, Mizzlady1.
Thank you for the question. This error usually means a system library file has been deleted or moved. I would recommend uninstalling all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below. Once this is done attempt to install iTunes again.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
If you receive any errors during the uninstall process, follow the instructions in the article below for each component that gives you an error.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert when removing Apple software in Windows

Despite unistalling and reinstalling iTunes, I can't load the program. The error message "the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer."

Despite trying to unistall and reinstall iTunes, I continue to get the message "the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

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.

My Itunes won't open. When I click on it I get error message: The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.

The first error message is: itunes.exe-System Error: the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.
The second error message says: itunes: itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes Error 7 (Windows error 126)
I have reinstalled several times and the same thing keeps happening. Does anyone know what to do?

Ralph, both links you've posted point to the same place!
Ah, I see the second one is meant to lead to Tony's tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6571
That one applies for certain launch errors that can occur when iTunes has otherwise installed successfully. I've addressed the same issue in the first box of my tip.
What would be interesting to know is if Aswim does indeed have QTMovieWin.dll in their Program Files\iTunes folder, and if removing it allows iTunes to launch? It would seem that different error messages may be thrown up by different versions of the file on different versions of the OS. Perhaps many more people have been doing a complete rebuild than needed to.

Can you help me?????

Hello Charleen,
It sounds like you are unable to reinstall iTunes because of this error message 7. I recommend the troublehsooting found in the following article that mentions that error named:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 126)”
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I keep getting this error message when i try to install the latest version of itunes, the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem??

I am having trouble reinstalling my Itunes on my desktop which uses Windows 7 and I can download it but once it's complete i keep getting this error message...The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Please help me.

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.

I ran an iTunes update. It failed with the message System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. I tried reinstalling but get the same message.

I ran an iTunes update. It failed with the message "System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I tried reinstalling but get the same message. I looked in my Recycle Bin for that file name but there is none there. Is this a new file that iTunes wants?

When installing itunes get error "program can't start because msvcr80.dll is missing

I cancelled the installation of the latest version of iTunes on my Windows PC and when attempting to reinstall it, I now get a message that "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem." Reinstalling the program does not fix the problem. Repairing the installation does not fix the problem. A search shows the "missing" file does exist in the MSOCache directory.

I researched the advice on the link provided by b noir as well as very similar advice from apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376. It worked for me (for now).
Some things of note:
I did all of the things requested by the link I provided
My computer WOULD NOT uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support. I had to manually remove the folder (also as instructed by the url)
I also uninstalled MobileMe. Was a little different than removing the other apps. Follow instructs provided here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2992
I did not uninstall iCloud
I have to admit it was a bit scary removing all those things. Is important to note that when re-installing Apple, follow steps to do so as Administrator (the right-click thingy and whatnot).
Hope this helps!

All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages: 1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem and 2. iTunes was not installed correct

All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
and
2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
Thanks
