**Original Title** An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x800736FD
Windows xp to Windows 7 32 bit install of home premium. iTunes will not install. The installation freezes at Publishing product information, gives this error message:

stays frozen and eventually claims iTunes was installed correctly. Opening iTunes produces an error stating that Apple application support is not installed (Apple application support/Apple mobile device support are not on the computer). (Bonjour, Quicktime, and Apple software update are there). I have uninstalled the programs which goes fine but nothing I try can get itunes to work. I tried installing itunes 8.0, running on a different administrator user, running as administrator, stopping all programs from running, and installing while offline. I read that there might be a problem with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005. My computer shows both Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable andMicrosoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.21022.218 on it. I tried installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update file vcredist_x86.exe found at **http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist**
but it freezes at around 100% of completion.
This is where I am now. My Windows updates have not been failing and my system is up to date. I do not know what to do as I need this program installed in order to use my phone.
Thank you for your time and any assistance you might be able to offer.

Still says Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I am on my personal home laptop.

2012-06-25T07:28:53+00:00 I had been unable to install windows updates for over a year until I did the above regedit.
Thanks a lot. All updates automatically installed during reboot.
Still running SFC Scan but I will reply again if Itunes install works as well.
