Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes.

On first execution after a clean install of iTunes 9, this error message:

*Apple Application Support was not found.*

*Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.*

*Error 2*

Can't run iTunes. Already reboot, reinstall, blah blah blah. Windows Vista 32.

Recommendations?

Windows Vista

Thanks Cr4z33! Your advice worked, though as said by one of the users, I needed to repair QuickTime.msi too! But thanks! Pheeew!

I uninstalled Norton Antivirus, then downloaded itunes again and it worked. Itunes works fine 🙂

Hi 🙂 I am having the same problem and have tried doing the steps mentioned in the discussion with WinRar and the other steps, I tried switching off the firewall and still Itunes doesn't work saying it cannot find the Apple Application Support. I even tried downloading it seperatly and nothing. Did you guys find a solution to this misery? I'd be glad to know because I have a ipod touch and I need Itunes to put music on it. Thanks.

I've tried every single thing suggested in this thread and still have the same problem. I'm running Windows Vista 64-bit. Anyone willing to walk me through this? Otherwise I've just wasted my money on a worthless iPod.

Really wanted this to work and it didnt. I have a ipod and itouch so i NEED itunes ! I'm not going to give up until i solve this.

Had the same problem. Also with quicktime. I was able to install by saving the file and instead of just running it, I right clicked and used 'run as administrator'. Because it is faster, I first installed quicktime this way, then iTunes. I don't know if it will work on iTunes first.
