Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.

i Had the same trouble.I tried all the sugested in these replies.They did not work for me.Finally I uninstalled all Apple products.Deleted all apple folders from Program File,appdata,windows/system32,registry entries.Than i downloaded ITunes,QuickTime,and Safari Setup files onto my desktop,turned off network,turned off firewalls and AntiVirus and run the quicktime setup as administrator first tried to play it and it played as if nothing has ever happened.than I run ITunes and played it.and run safari the same way.They are all running smoothly.But wasted 8 Hours.thanks Guys.

i downloaded winRAR and opened the itunes setup with winRAR and it fixed that message, but now when i try to open itunes on my desktop it says that i need an apple application support. So then i open the itunes setup with winRAR once again and i see that there is an apple application support there so i tried running that with winRAR and i still got the same message that you see as well..... so idk maybe downloading winRAR and installing itunes from winRAR will help you, for me it just redirected the problem.

I have this SAME problem, cant install the apple application support even when extract it from the main itunessetup.exe

If someone have an solution to THIS case, please do it hurry please!!!

Having same problem, tried everything, but with no luck 😟

Any solution?

I installed winRAR, but there is no iTunes setup.exe icon, just iTunes admin.exe and iTunes.exe, and neither of them says "Open with winRAR". When I click on "Open With" I get something that says Windows can't open this file.

So now I'm really stuck. If I uninstall and re-install iTunes, will I lose all the music I've saved in my computer? And in my iPod?

i have vista home premium and i've tried that but it doesn't work for me, i've rebooted my comp to where its working like new. and i opened with winrar, then double clicked on the apple application.msi and it says the same thing when it load all the way. so do i need to download any other programs like quick time or something?

do i have to uninstall itunes first?

HELP! My main problem is that I cannot get itunes9.2.exe to open because I have +*"insufficient privileges to access the C:\Program Files \ Common Files \ Apple \ Apple Application Support"*+. I have tried using the WinRAR solution others have mentioned but cannot get the itunes setup to appear on my desktop (only in the downloads from Firefox).

Perhaps I am an idiot. Is there an easy way to get this setup to appear on my desktop?

Is there another option of what I can do here?

i have the EXACT same error! 😟 ive ben trying to fix this problem for weeks and have talked to about 20 different people both from apple and microsoft. have you found any solution?

what if i deleted the apple folder from my hard drive? is there any way to just download it and install it **** it!

yeah my problem if anyone can help me is when i installed the new itunes i got an error when apple application support was installing:

An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0 .50727.762",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736B3.

I have already tried opening/extracting/repairing with Winrar and i still get that error...turning off firewall then installing etc. didnt work either.

i have never had any previous problems with itunes so i have no idea what to do next. any solutions? this is ******** haha

having the same problem.... An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0 .50727.762",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736B3.

Have tried the WinRar fix but my version does not have a repair icon on the toolbar. If you right click it says can only repair .rar or zip files so not sure how everyone else got this to work. ANY SUGGESTIONS

I am having the same problem as well!!

As yet no solutions, I am hoping someone might know what to do!!

I have windows vista 64 bit and the apple application support won't install at all. I have tried to use winrar, etc. I get the error message:

an error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",process or Architecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070424.

IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS I WOULD APPRECIATE IT! :-D I LOVE PLAYING GUITAR ALL DAY WITH MUSIC.

Thanks for the Great Support Everyone!

I had the same problem as stated earlier in this thread while performing a virgin installation of iTunes on a Dell Inspiron Mini w/Windows 7.

My fix was to install .NET framework available for Windows 7 via this link:

This also solved an inability to install Office 2007 🙂

Hope this helps!
