Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.

I followed this step by step, but it's not working for me.
When I execute step 3: double click AppleApplicationSupport.msi, The file just open and I get a WinRAR diagnostic message: The archive is corrupt.
Please help...

Thank you

Hi guys, the most easiets way to do this is by downloading winrar.
then open the itunes setup through winrar and install and the rest will be a sucess.

I don't have the "open with" option

omgg thank youu!!!!

I finally got it to work! (thanks to r0tt). Due to the fact that Apple & Windows are not compatable the error 2 occurs.
After follow r0tt's instructions, I still had same problem, but he/she steered me in the right direction...
step 1 - Download the Install, saving to your desktop (rather than running it)
step 2 - _*Once completed, disconnect from internet*_
step 3 - Disable both Windows Defender _AND YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM_ (might be
overkill but i got tired & disabled all & everything)
step 4 - click on icon on desktop & "run"
This cleared up my problem & hopefully yours. _*BUT REMEMBER BEFORE YOU RECONNECT TO INTERNET!... TO SET ALL THE ABOVE TO DEFAULT*_ (or whatever you had as custom settings)

Thank you! I was having the same problem after many different attempts, and this solution worked for me. I thought I would have to lose my entire library and start from scratch. Great post.

I just want to load QuickTime, no iTunes required and am getting the same Apple Application Support error. I have a VAIO running Windows 7.
Will your fix this problem and what modification do I need to make to use just for QuickTime installation?

After 3 days of trying other things,this worked for me.

Need to use itunes 8.2 as it does not include the apple application support files.

1. uninstall itunes and qiuck time in the following order.
itunes
quicktime
apple software update
apple mobile device support
bonjour

2. Find itunes 8.2 and save the install exe. to your desktop.

3. Reboot.

4. Right click the install exe. and select run as administrator.

5. VERY IMPORTANT: On one of the menus at the begining of the install it will have options to install ( 3 options )these options will already be pre selected you need to de-select the final option which is "automatically upgrade itunes"you must de-select this or it will upgrade to the 9.0 which requires the apple application support.

6.Click next to complete install.
