Hi  JenPea78,

Thank you for replying.

Let’s browse to the location c:\windows\winsxs folder and rename the folder winsxs to winsxs.old.

Then try installing the security update and check if it helps.

Hope the information helps. Please post back and let us know.

Regards

Hi  JenPea78 ,

As I find you need to install the security update’ Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update’ before installing iTunes on your computer.

Let’s follow these steps before you proceed with the installation of ITunes.

  1. Download and install:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update

  1. Also, make sure that you have iTunes installer installed on your computer or else download and install it.
  2. Uninstall all iTunes software from Program and features.

a)Open Programs and Features by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Programs, and then clicking Programs and  Features.

b)Select  the program, and then click Uninstall.

Also, download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to remove all iTunes software:

Description of the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility

Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install Cleanup"). In the list of programs that appear in Cleanup, select any iTunes entries, and click remove. Quit out of Cleanup.

4.Reinstall all  iTunes software and check if it works.

    Tks. I did try all of these but nothing works. The Visual C++ 2010 is installed and ok. I did follow all steps of Apple support forum...nothing.

    Also did try to install the most updated iTunes released today 10.5.1.42 and same problem :(

    My HP netbook running Windows 7 Pro has no problem at all.

    Now wondering to give up of Windows ...for good.

    I didn´t run any Registry Cleaner and I´ve never had this problem before. Just happens when updating iTunes to the latest version (10.5).

    The catch is if I ask for support from Microsoft they will say that´s an Apple issue. The other way around Apple is going to say that´s a Windows issue.

    I´m gonna downloand the process monitor that you recommend and see what happens.

    Tks,

    Daniel

    I've got the exact same problem and have also tried the few solutions and none work.  Started trying to fix a couple of weeks ago and still no solution.

    Pretty rediculous that Microsoft can't solve this - I guarantee it will cause another bunch of people to throw their Windows 7 PCs in the trash and buy a Mac book, air, or mini.
