Why can't I install Itunes on Windows 8

Need Help,
I have a Dell XPS laptop that was running Windows 7 Ultimate with Itunes installed and running fine. I upgraded to Windows 8, installed all my programs... and finally at the end (last program I need to install), I go to install Itunessetup64 and the software install reverts with and error message.
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'microsoft.VC80.CRT. type= "win32" .version= "8.0.50727.4053" .publicKeyToken= "1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b" .processorArchitecture= "amd64". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80073715.
Again, Itunes was working before, I wish I had installed it before all other programs. I don't want to recover back from an image I took as Windows 7.
Please help

After spending an entire day on this issue, I figured out something that worked. After installing Windows 8 (64-bit) then Visual Studio 2012 (or 2013) then the latest 64-bit iTunes app, I got the 0x80073715 error.
What finally worked for me was:
1) Get all the Windows updates and hotfixes - especially the ones for Visual Studio.
2) Go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14431 and download the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update"
3) Only install vcredist_x64.exe.
After running these steps, I was able to completely install iTunes on my Windows 8 64-bit instance.
Hope this helps.

I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

Why can't I install iTunes on windows RT? Is Microsoft deciding what software I can use?

Why can't I install iTunes on Windows RT? Is Microsoft deciding what software I can use?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Theoretically, Microsoft is deciding what apps you can install. In Windows RT, you can only install apps from the Windows Store and they must be ARM-based, things that Apple and iTunes don't meet, so you can't use iTunes in Windows RT

Why can't I install iTunes on my 64-bit Windows 7 desktop?

When I go to the installation page and input my email address, the full page doesn't seem to load, but then I click on what I assume is the "download" button (though can't really tell because the pictures don't load properly) and nothing happens. After a minute or so it just goes back to the iTunes page and if I click download it all just happens again.
What am I missing?

Thanks, I found the link to the direct installer and installed it. But when I tried to run iTunes after installation an error message occurred: "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTines, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2)". Same thing happened when I uninstalled and re-installed.
Can anybody assist with fixing this?
