You're welcome.

tt2

I am all of a sudden getting this Error 7 (Windows Error 193) messages and I cannot seem to troubleshoot this.  I have uninstalled everything in the order you set forth in this support but it's still happening.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.

Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)

If you still have no luck try reinstalling iTunes 12.0, links in the user tip.

For those who updated iTunes and displaying the error "Windows error 193 or similar," a way to still use the iTunes download the 11.1.3.8 version of iTunes and install. Before installing something must be done:

* Step 1 - Uninstall the following programs:

1) Apple Software Update

2) Bonjour

3) iTunes.

Step 2 - Install version iTunes 11.1.3.8

If it shows the error "iTunes Library.itl" the solution is simple. Only delete the file in the C: \ Users \ Name \ Music \ iTunes called iTunes Library.itl.

Note: When you open the older version will ask if you want to update. Do not upgrade because it will give the same error in the update.

It is the hint. Could not say it is a solution, but a way to take advantage of the program for a while and wait for an Apple solution. Sincerely Ricardo.

Download version iTunes 11.1.3.8 >>> version x64 (windows 64 bits) https://mega.co.nz/#!QklXGJLA!w58yHjvgYZfFy_rnGCUu4Nh6If-m4AE8OQpi2Xw5RwQ

More complete info can be found under the discussion for question:  "Unable to install iTunes on Windows 7"

I did all the steps mentioned above, but still have the same problem after installing Itunes again.

I still have Icloud and quick time 7 which I didn't remove.

Will it be safe removing them as well? thanks.

Yes, removing the software won't affect your data. Best to remove all trace of Apple software before trying to reinstall. Note that QuickTime doesn't work with the iTunes6464setup.exe installers. If you have a 64-bit machine and need to use QuickTime then you must install the "for older video cards" version.

Ive tried all of these twice. still no luck???? this is frustrating! Help please

What was the last version of iTunes that worked for you?

Have you tried reverting to that one?

Have you tried the current "for older video cards" version?

Uninstall everyting...everything and try his version of itunes:

Windows 7 User here. Had this same issue over the past few days. After the latest iTunes update, and some Windows updates, I started to receive Windows Error 127.  Did all the steps listed here, multiple times, with no success:

Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support

Just remember to look around for other Apple folders/programs under Common Files and under other users.

Then re-installed iTunes as admin. Didn't work, kept getting the unable to start Apple Mobile Device Service, but then started to get Windows Error 193.

So I uninstalled again, deleted everything I could find that was Apple. Disabled the AMDS under Services:

How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows - Apple Support

Didn't work, kept getting Error 193.

So try uninstalling everything Apple, even folders, disabling Apple Mobile Device Services, then try that older video card version. That finally worked for me, just a few minutes ago.
