Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.

I've tried all this with WinRaR and installed all the components in various orders. My issue seems to come when specifically installing the AppleApplication Support when just before it publishes the files, I get the following error message:

An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32", public KeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",process or Architecture="x86". Please refer to help and support for more information.HRESULT:0x800736B3.

Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated!!!

Bump I am also having the same problem as the post above me, pops up with that error just as it gets to publishing the files, tried downloading the netframe 4.0 and still the same error

"an error occurred during the installation of the assembly. 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, version="8.0.50727.4053, type="win32", publicKeyToken=1fc8b3ba1e18e3b", process orArchitecture="x86", Please refer to help and support for more information. HRESULT:0X8007054F"

I am able to do all the repairs things with WinRAR with everything but Apple Application Support! This is annoying! The one thing i need and the computer is doing all sorts of things to stop me from installing itunes! Help!

That's the same thing that came up when I was trying to repair the Apple application support with WinRAR. Apple needs to do something....we shouldn't have to go through all this just to put songs on our Ipods....i am a teenager and i never met up with a problem with the computer I couldn't fix without just doing a few pushing of buttons and clicking. Not even my dad can think of what to do and he is an engineer at Texas Instruments. This is really getting annoying....watch out Apple...I might trade my ipod in for a zune...ha ha ha...I just might if I have to deal with this any longer. >XD

U know what....maybe someone from A-P-P-L-E the C-O-M-P-A-N-Y should come on and Help! Can't you people see were suffering from just wanting to listening to music with ur products! You should all be ashamed! Come on and listen to the problems and fix them! We just want itunes on our computers for the love of bunnies! >O >O >O Lol. Those are bunnies. But seriously, I been at this for months...hear me...months. Some even longer...once we solve one problem another comes up to make us wanna throw away your products. We need you Apple People on this discussion and now. Me need my music!We all do!

This was amazing - thank you! Saved me a ton of time - worked perfectly. I also did not have to repair the AppleApplicationSupport, but I did for the quicktime! WinRAR worked great - those 2 items and everything was the way I had it - all music, apps, ratings!!

Hêllo,

I hae the same problem.....and have installed WinRAR.....but once I right click the iTunesSetup.exe icon, I cannot choose Open with WinRAR". !!!
Is there a prefeered version of WinRAR rather than another one to download ?
THanks in advance....I'm almost desperated !

thats the same with me

Ok easiest way to get your itunes up and running on a pc if you you keep getting the error 2 (AppleApplicationSupport)...install Quicktime separately and first. Once I installed that first I had no problem installing and opening itunes!!

This solution worked for me. Unbelievable! I was down for over a month!

Exactly! Very concise and easy to follow. Thanks for the post!

Yeah I've been having the same issue here (obviously) and as Shihmale stated, I'm getting that same exact error. Ran it down to the registry. Went to regedit (as I found to do http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/1099136a-03df -4da4-966c-5a4e56b8f202 <Here) and looked for the "registry size limit" registry and of course, to my luck, I have no such registry in the control folder. This has gone beyond that of what I have seen other's problems go. I have tried literally all steps, except for reinstalling windows which I would really like not to do seeing as I JUST did it all yesterday (7 Ultimate) and have about 200 gigs of data I downloaded and installed this morning, to have to go back and reinstall just to have iTunes QuickTime and Safari is utterly pointless...

I can't even watch some videos on the internet without this **** application.

Again I HAVE TRIED the method involving WinRAR, uninstalling the apps multiple times and installing them separately multiple times, performing the steps in the Microsoft boards link I provided and I have come to a brick wall at the part where one is supposed to find the "Registry Size Limit" registry... Again I have literally NO registry named that. If anyone could lend a hand I'd be utterly grateful.

EDIT: I created a key and named it RegistrySizeLimit and made the value 0xFFFFFFFF

Restarting computer now, let you know the result.

Well it is now February 2011 and I want to thank you for your post. This worked for me. Downloading winRAR. I did have to uninstall itunes first and reinstall it before I could repair anything. Thanks again!
