Windows 8 will not install itunes 11.1.3. Why?

I am currently trying to install itunes on my new laptop and it give me the error message, " This app can't run on your pc." I have downloaded the Windows 8 64 bit version 3 times and they all don't work. I have gone to 'My Computer' > 'Properties' to see that I have Windows 8 64 bit. I have not idea what to do at this point. Please Help. Thank you.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Hi Tamekia,
I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.

Computer will not install itunes 10.5

I have downloaded the new iTunes 10.5 to my computer, but it will not install. I have never had any problems with any of the other iTunes downloads. If I can't get this to install I won't be able to use the backed up info I have to add to my phone since I restarted it.

I Found a Cure!!!
I would like to thank: Lukefrom somerset - he posted this comment and i did what he said and it WORKED!!!
Luke Posted - If your having the same issue as I did, click your start menu in the search bar type in Apple Software Update, click on it the program with open and it should start searching for updates. Do the updates and then it will try and search again for more updates and it will find ITunes 10.5 click the box next to it and download.

Windows installer will not install ITunes 7 or Quick Time

I previously ran iTunes 4 with an earlier model iPod. Recently upgraded to iPod for video which was not recognized by iTunes 4. Attempted to download updated iTunes software and continue to be unsuccessful. Here's what happens:
I am able to download both iTunes 7 and QuickTime to my hard drive, but when invoke the respecive .exe files I get the same error message which reads, "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

I have never heard of the respecive.exe file in regards to itunes or ipod. Are you sure you followed the troubleshooting steps word for word? I've had some people read the follow, "Empty your temp folder contents" to mean delete the temp folder. You have to be careful to follow them closely. I still sometimes have to reread some steps only to find out I didn't read it correctly the first time.
With that said, how do you know its a windows installer problem? If you were installing itunes & QT using their standalone installers there won't be a file called respecive.exe for either. You should be launching itunessetup.exe to install itunes (which can possibly contain QT). I forget what the standalone QT installer is called but I know it isn't respecive.exe.
Here are the steps I suggest to people who have trouble installing itunes. Please read them over first and ask a question if something isn't clear.
1. Uninstall itunes and ipod software
2. Reboot your PC
3. Re-download the itunes installer and QT and save this installer to your desktop
4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes,msi
6. Clean out your temp folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
7. Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
8. Reboot your PC.
9. Now try to go and install everything again. I'd do QT first then follow with itunes. Remember to disable virus/firewall/privacy/web accelerators before launching the install.

My laptop (Windows 7) will not install iTunes. "Error occured during installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type=win32'

I have a picture of the entire error message, but it won't let me attach it. Also, if anyone knows a way of contacting apple support without being charged $20 that would be nice as well...

Itunes for windows will not install

SInce Christmas, I have tried installing iTunes for my Ipod shuffle. I have NIS and I've followed some instructions I found on a thread to add itunes and ipod into my programs and "permit all"- that usually freezes the computer. I wind up sending error reports to windows and cold booting the computor. I think I successfully installed both itunes and ipod into My Computer/Downloads. However- - neither via shortcut on my desktop or thru programs can I access itunes. The icon is there, and nothing happens. I am pretty sure it has to do wit NIS. In one instance I did try disabling the security and firewall features- but a lot of crap got onto my desktop. help!

Kellie,
remind me, did you try an EWIDO scan? Sounds like a malware problem to me. Go download EWIDO, its free and the only program that I know of that is catching the particular variant of malware that is blocking iTunes. Its a nasty bug that started showing up in October or so.
The website is www.ewido.net/en/
Use that scan about twice a week. It blows Mcafee and Norton out of the water.
Good Luck.
PS I recommend picking up LsvaSoft's AdAware SE, its free and available for free downloads on their website. It scans and removes spyware. Use that twice a week as well to maintain a healthy PC.

Itunes 7 - win xp pro will not install "iTunes needs quicktime" error

iTunes 7 will not complete the install - it says the old version of iTunes could not be uninstalled and then says "iTunes needs quicktime". I tried installing quicktime alone and it also won't install saying it cannot remove the old version. Tried a manual uninstall and I get the same error.

A tip posted by b noir on the following link solved my problem. I just downloaded "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" from Microsoft, removed my existing version of Qiucktime. Restarted my computer then started fresh with Itune 7 installation. No more problems.

ICloud Control Panel for Windows will not install on Win 7 64-bit

I already installed iTunes 10.5 and I downloaded the iCloud Control Panel for Windows and when I tried installing it I got the following error message:
I cannot find a a 64-bit of iCloud (if that is what I need). The 64-bit iTunes installed ok. What am I doing wrong?

I don't know how to answer that question, Rob, or why I would be able to. Obviously people will have different configutrations. It really just points to the question I am asking. I can only assume Adobe hasn't tested it thoroighly enough and is not making any effort to find out why, which suggests to me they don't really care enough about their users to bother. This issue has been raised often enough and nothing has been done.

Itunes will not update. I get an message saying that it cannot verify signature and it will not install, itunes will not update. I get an message saying that it cannot verify signature and it will not install

iTunes will not update. I get an error message saying that it cannot verify signature and it will be unable to install.

Yeah me too try going through the apple website in (firefox) and download iTunes there. Currently that's what I'm doing.

Windows will not install under Mavericks

I am trying to install W7, again, under Mavericks and I cannot do so. Every thing seem to be installed but at start, I get a message that "BOOTMGR is missing, press ctl+alt+delete to restart", but the keyboard (wired and working) will not function so I can do nothing. I have tried more than once. I am trying to install W7 Home Premium and it is a legit disc. I installed the same disc under SN and all was fine.

Are you using Boot Camp, if so then please re-post in the Boot Camp forum. If you are using a virtualization app (Parallels, Fusion, etc) please post in that forum.
These are the best methods for installed Windows, this is a general iMac forum while there are a few people that post here that know MS Windows most are OS X oriented.
Good luck.

Will not install itunes 8, system not modified message

Hello,
I cannot install itunes 8, my computer stopped loading itunes so I removed old program and downloaded new version. Now it begins and then rolls back action and says system not modified. I even had my computer guy work on it and could not figure it out. I have done the installer thing. I've had problems with my MSN, I go through mozilla.
Thanks for any help.

I tried all of that, no luck. Did I mention that iTunes is gone from my desktop? This is not the first time that has happened either. I have deleted iTunes download and reloaded it. restarted computer, nothing. In process of downloading installer yet again. And will try yet again. Thank you for the reply though.

Help Will Not Install ITunes 7.3

This is a problem I can install ITunes at all cause it can not unistall the older version, this is frustrating, I tried to uninstal the old one and it can not be found. Help...What do I do? Thanks..

replying to Cynthia-Avey
Yes and in Quick Time as well...But yes I am getting that error...
okay. in that case we'll try the procedure from the following post:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=3568566
(since you're getting a QuickTime.msi message, you won't be able to uninstall QuickTime from add/remove ... no problems, you just have to skip ahead to removing the installation configuration information with Installer CleanUp, and then manually removing the left-over program files.)

My computer will not install itunes and im wondering how to fix it?

My computer wont install itunes it says that an error occured during the instalation and essembly and then has microsoft with a whole bunch of numbers letters and other things. Can you please help me?

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

A program designed for windows will not install

I have been trying install the latest version of the Roche Accu-Chek Compass software on my new MacBook with Leopard, Bootcamp and the latest updated version of Windows XP all installed. The installation disk is OK (It installs on another PC OK. Accu-Chek support have been unable to help so far. I wonder if anyone else has had similar problems or can make any suggestions? The install wizard appears to start OK but then stops and a pop-up headed Install Error detected appears, saying "Install encountered an unexpected error please try again"
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have found a solution! Download and install VM Fusions then install Accu-Chek Compass - it then works like a dream. In fact I am delighted with VM Fusions it seems work in the way I had hoped that Bootcamp would. I have obtained the 30 day trial version from
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
Hope this helps. ( I have no connection with VM Ware other than as a potential customer)

The latest itunes for windows will not install

I have an old PC running windows and I want to transfer my itunes songs to my ipad. I can't do this until I update iTunes but trying to update does nothing, either from iTunes or from the web page. I've tried rebooting the PC, still doesn't work. How do I get iTunes to update? Or, how do I transfer to the iPad without updating? The version of iTunes I have is older than 10.5, not sure where to find version #. Thanks!

Hi b noir, thanks for offering to help. i documented the whole process:
Itunes transfer from pc to ipad.
1. Connect ipad to PC
2. Pc recognizes ipad as a camera, gives me list of programs to launch, not sure if this has any relevance, no itunes on list, instead its kodak easyshare, ms doc wizard, ms camera sharing, ms word,mp navagator ex, omnipage, photoshop - I ignore this screen
3. Launch itunes, get screen, "ipad requires v 10.5 or later' go to itunes.com. I click ok
4. I get screen, still in itunes, "a new version (10.7) is available." I click download.
5. That screen goes away but nothing happens. No download starts.
6. Checked itunes folder on my hard drive, no sign that anything new has downloaded
7. Launch safari, go to itunes.com, hit download button
8. Nothing seems to be happening.
9. I get "thank you for downloading itunes" screen.
10. Still nothing new in itunes folder.
11. Get AVG screen telling me to restart my pc to finish download process.
12. During shutdown, I get screen,"the instruction at 0x100066dd referenced memory at 0x100066dd. The instruction could not be read." Gave me options to terminate program or debug. I did not choose either. No idea if this is relevant.
13. PC rebooted anyway.
14. Launched itunes
15. Got same message as before - "ipad requires v 10.5 or later' go to itunes.com. I click ok
16. Even though ipad is plugged in all this time, the screen that thinks the ipad is a camera does not come up this time.
17. There is nothing to the left of the itunes interface that lists devices - this is where ipad would appear, right?
18. Ipad appears on My Computer control panel
19. My version of itunes is 10.3.1.55
20. In itunes, i go to Help - Run Diagnostics - run all but Cd/Dvdtest
21. Secure Link to Itunes store failed, everything before that is ok. I click Help. nothing happens. Store appears in itunes so I don't see why this would fail.
22. Since help doesn't work, I move on in test. Two more fail screens: itunes helper not running, no ipad found. help brings up appropriate pages for both. Both recommend removing and reinstalling itunes.
23. Device sync also fails.
If it would be quickest to delete and reinstall itunes, I am willing to do that. My music would not be deleted correct? What about playlists (not as important to me).
I also have all my music backed up to CD. It would be tedious to copy that all to ipad, but if there is a way to do it and no other option, I could do that.
