Windows 7 - Apple Application Support was not found. Error Message

Hello Folks,
i keep getting the following message, despite the fact that i have uninstalled Itunes and then installed it again a few times.
"Apple Application Support was not found. Please uninstall, and install again. Error 2 (Windows Error 2).
Can anyone suggest any help?
I have a Windows 7, new Dell Latitude machine.
THank you,

"Apple Application Support was not found. Please uninstall, and install again. Error 2 (Windows Error 2).
Is Apple Application Support currently showing as installed in your Uninstall a program control panel?
If not, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer file, then try installing AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. Even if it won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

"Apple Application Support was not found, error 2" how to fix?

I have an Asus and when it automatically installed an "update" it screwed up about half of the software on my computer. Now the error code "Apple application support as not found blah blah blah uninstall and reinstall... error 2" I've tried repairing iTunes but then get the same message again. If I uninstall iTunes will I lose all of my music, videos, iPhone backup, etc?

Here's the workaround I found.
Go here: (Deleted by Apple Moderators)
Okay, they deleted it. Google 'old apps iTunes 9' Should be easy enough to find. The website will have old apps in the name itself.
Download old version. Go to your start button and find 'Apple Software Update.'
Select. Run. Voila! All fixed!

Apple application support was not found error 2

I originally had a problem with my iTunes and went to the Apple website to find a solution and I was encouraged to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Well, I made the mistake of uninstalling the Apple Application Support and now every time I download iTunes, it will not start. I tried looking through other discussions to fix my problem but the only thing I could find that was someone saying to download a free thing and then use it to run iTunes. Everyone said that it worked for them but the home page of the website is a copious amount of external links and it's really annoying as well as confusing. When I found a link that would allow me to download it, it wanted me to complete a task in which I would have to sign up for something (for example, Audible.com) in order to get to the free software. I would just like to download the program required and I am really sick of iTunes at the moment.

i am currently experiencing the exact same problem. ive done everything and researched it completely. nothing has solved this. and I did as you said and downloaded quicktime separately, still nothing..keep getting the same message about "apple application support not found, error 2"..and that cant be, because it DOES in fact have that apple support when I downloaded the quicktime... im beyond frustrated with this! if ANYONE has a solution please help!!!!

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

I keep getting and error when I try to start my iTunes. "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, Then install iTunes again. Error 2(Windows error 2)".... I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and the error still occurs!!! This started happening after I installed the 10.3 update

I took the time to research it and come across a couple of people who experienced the same trouble and so I listed some of there steps(with Credits) and some people said that they worked.
Here is the original Link:

OK, this worked for me:( Original Post by r0tt3n4pp13)
1. Save iTunes install file to your desktop.
2. Disconnect from internet.
3. Disable Firewall/Security software.
4. Run install. Note that it installs Application Support and a bunch of other software this time.
5. Run iTunes.
6. Enable Firewall/Security software.
7. Reconnect to internet.
8. Download Watchmen Director's Cut post haste.
OR!
(Original post by Cr4z33)
1. Download and install WinRAR.
2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.

So when I plugged in my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4), iTunes told me it needed to update to the newest version... so I did. After installing it it gave me an error (-45019) that said that a required component wasn't installed. I looked it up and people were saying to unistall iTunes and all apple related software and reinstall itunes which i did. I am on Windows 8.1.
Now it gives me this error. "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please unistall iTunes and install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows Error 2)." I did this and it gave me the same message... Please help! How do i get iTunes running again?

Unable to Reinstall iTunes - error message: "Apple Application Support was not found"

When attempting to update my iPhone today, my iTunes would not open. I followed the instructions to completely uninstall iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and Apple Applications Support. I then attempted to reinstall iTunes, and everything went perfectly until I attempted to open iTunes. When attempting this, I am receiving the message "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2). Any advice on how to "get this back"?
