When starting iTunes I get a "Windows Configuring iTunes" window

Everytime when starting iTunes a Windows Installer window pops up and says "Please wait while Windows configures iTunes" while a bar at the bottom moves. It takes like 6 seconds to go away and then iTunes opens up. But if I open a song file from windows explorer iTunes boots right up. Also QuickTime gives me "Error 46: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control." when I try to run it. These happened after I upgraded to 7.2. Also something that might have had something to do with it, last week I had an icon tell me I needed to activate my windows vista even though I had already actvated vista around 2 months prior. So I got it activated again via windows tech support. I think something happened to my vista installation which caused vista to say it needed to be activated and also caused an alteration to my windows user account thus causing error 46 since it thinks it was installed on a different user account. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling. I've created a new user and installed it on there but to no avail.
Please help

Hello midnite1,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would recommend uninstalling iTunes altogether, and then installing the newest version from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Take care,

When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " The registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."

When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " The registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes." I have unistalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and have cleaned up the registry using a 3rd party Windows utility. Any tips on removing this error message for good?

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Removing the SC Info folder as per the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document seems to help most folks reporting the iTunes launch 42110s:

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch properly now?
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:
Re: I recently updated to vista service pack 2 and I updated to itunes

When starting iTunes I always get the message "Do you want the application"... My firewall is on and incoming connections are allowed

When starting Itunes the following message appears every thime:
Do you want the application "iTunes.app" to accept incoming network connections?
I always click on Allow, but it doesn't help.
I'm not using the root user to work on my mac and turned the firewall on.
As mentioned on a website I already removed the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist file, but it didn't help.

Found the solution:
I checked iTunes by executing the following command in a terminal window:
codesign -vvv /Applications/iTunes.app
I reinstalled iTunes because my result was different from the expected output:
/Applications/iTunes.app/: valid on disk
/Applications/iTunes.app/: satisfies its Designated Requirement
I logged in as a root user.
In /Library/Preferences/ I deleted
- com.apple.alf.plist
- com.apple.alf.plist.lockfile
(although I could not empty the trash bin due to the lockfile, you can after a reboot)
I clicked on the iTunes.app application and pressed command+i
In that window I allowed everyone to read/write
I've moved the application to the trash bin.
After rebooting the mac and logging in as a root user, I could empty the trash bin.
I made sure that my firewall was started again, and downloaded the latest version of
iTunes (currently 10.5.1).
Launching iTunes doesn't give any warnings anymore because it's auto-trusted by mac.
Hope this helps others.

Error messages when starting iTunes - 11556 and other. Who may help?

Hi there,
When starting iTunes i get to the iTunes U store. Trying to connect to the normal iTunes store, I get the following error message:
"We could not complete your iTunes store request. The iTunes store is temporarly unavailable"
This message I get since about one week. Further I tried to sign in and then I get the following message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store. An unknown error occured (11556). Make sure your network connection is active and try again."
Network connection is working. iTunes connectivity diagnostics showed: all tests passed. I am using the latest version of iTunes (9.0.3.15). I tried to reinstall iTunes - did not help.
I hope, anybody can help me.
Regards,
kunzro

Hey Richard
After I posted here I realized it was in the Windows/iTunes board. I reposted in the OS X/iTunes board along with the solution.
I did more searching on Google and found that the store was disabled in parental controls in the iTunes Prefs. Go to iTunes prefs, click on Parental. See if iTunes store is disabled. I unchecked it and am all set. Someone mentioned that when iTunes is updated, this setting is the default.
Hope this helps.

An unknown error occured (-42110) when starting iTunes current version.

An unknown error occured (-42110) when starting iTunes current version on PC running Win 8 Pro x86. Tried to uninstall i''Tunes. But erratic behaviour when trying to install iTunes again. Get 2 choices, Repair or Delete. Choose Repair, but after some time I get the question: "Do I want to delete everythin in Itunes" Y/N. No matter if reply Y or N or close window, Installation program is terminated without any alterations (or so it says). What ?????

A repair uninstalls all program files prior to reinstalling them. So the message asking whether or not you want to do that just reflects what has always happened. A repair install (like a standard uninstall, followed by a reinstall) doesn't touch content files under normal circumstances.
If you think the wording is misleading, it's possible to give feedback directly to the Apple folks about it. Here's a link to the product feedback form for iTunes:

Can I uninstall existing iTunes without losing my media library? and then install fresh to fix this problem?

ITunes 10.5 beta: Error -50 when starting iTunes

Hi all,
When i try to start iTunes from the dock i always get the error -50.
I'm also using OSX Lion 10.7 beta.
I have the same problem with iTunes 10.3, only 10.2 works fine, but i already updated my iPhone to iOS 5 beta, so i'm not able to use 10.2 anymore.
I've searched a lot of this problem on google and stuff but i only found solutions for this error while downloading a video or something else, but not when starting iTunes.
Please can someone help me?

Problem when start lightroom 6 on my windows 8.1 notebook

I have a problem when start lightroom 6 on my windows 8.1 notebook, the system says "impossible find input point in _crtCreateSymbolicLinkW in C:\windows\system32\msvcp110.dll", and lightroom 6 terminate. I disinstalled and reinstalled many times but I have always the same error. What is the problem? Thank for the answers.

Download update 4 for Intel x64 or Amd if your notebook have an Amd CPU of Visual studio 2012 and trya again. Before you can controll if the installer install library of visual studio 12 during installation and see if the library missing is on windows\system32.
