Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.

Wow...Whizwon. How did you become so knowledgeable? I would love if you could teach me the ways of the Apple kingdom

thanks Cr4z33, it worked for me too!

Thx Cr4z33 you are awesome!!! problem solved!! thx mate!!!

I went to WinRAR, and downloaded. But, I am getting nowhere. PS I'm a greenhorn.

It's working everyone else. What am I doing wrong? Greenhorn is another word for SLOW!

I don't have an "Open with" option

Great solution - works a treat. Now, the question is....why couldn't Apple just have told us this, or even better, supplied iTunes as a zip file in the first place and this would haveen a bitmore obvious.

Cheers

After several unsuccessful attempts of the advise that was discussed on this thread, eight to be exact, I downloaded Safari from apple alone then I re-installed itunes and viola...Thank goodness because I was really started to get worried and stressed.

You're a god, i stressed myself out yesterday trying to fix it and in about 10 minutes or less since i read your post it worked for me!!

"Mes felicitations, vouz etes génial! Votre publication á été asertif! Merci"

"I found the solution myself!

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"

Okay, I tried to do this, but it's looking for iTunes on my C drive and I have it installed on an external (G) drive. So when I click repair, it says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." So what now?

Thanks!

This worked like a charm! Thank you so much!

No idea form anyone on how to get the AppleApplicationSupport Repair action to redirect towards a location other than C:/Program Files? I'm about to completely uninstall and reinstall and want to avoid this if possible to avoid any headaches with trying to recover all my iTuens ratings and playlists. I'd like to try this solution, but it doesn't seem to understand my iTunes is installed at G:/.

Thanks,
Joe

YOU ARE A GOD FROM HEAVEN!!! It took some "tinkering", but your direction was dead on!! iTunes opened and i should be able to move on. I had too much to lose if i would have given in and uninstalled, but i stayed patient and your simple contribution is much appreciated!!!!! Thanks, Mark (SW Florida Gulf Coast)

hay it wont let me repair because its not RAR mine says repair archive

I am having the same problem with my laptop... can someone help me out?

apple support application missing? well, dont make it so complicated. You must follow these simple steps :
1. click on the start bar
2: scroll up on the start bar and click run, type msconfig.ex
3. system utility configuration appears
4. click on startup in the syestem comfiguration

finally uncheck ituneshelper on there, and Presto ready to go buddy, you won't be getting that annoying popup message when u start up your computer anymore.

Next step will be to reinstall the software that you need at apple.com
