ive just tried to reinstall and it says that itunes can not connect to a network twice and then comes up with something called error 1603 and says itunes has suffered a fatal error almost as soon as the installer starts running.
hiya!
it says that itunes can not connect to a network twice
can you give us the full text of that error message? include any error message numbers if it has any.

I have the same problem, except I can't find the iTunes Setup Assistant.
Hi iFriend,
try this, it worked for me:
1) first of all, uninstall QuickTime and older versions of iTunes from your PC, using the "remove" button in the "install applications" tool that you find in the windows control panel.
2) reboot the system
3) turn off the windows firewall application; go into the windows control panel, double click on windows firewall and disable the firewall option
4) if you have one, disable your Anti-Virus application; i mean its real-time protection.
5) probably it's not necessary, but for being sure... download and launch the standalone installer of QuickTime (latest version)
6) download and launch the iTunes + QuickTime installer from this web address
7) as an option, i suggest you to download and install also iTunes Art Importer. It's a nice application, that allows you to import from the internet directly into iTunes the album ArtWorks of the selected tracks in iTunes. I installed it, and it works very well with iTunes 6.
8) after all the installations, remember to enable both firewall and anti-virus previously disabled!
as i said, probably the 5th passage is not necessary, but i did it and it worked!
if you have any questions or feedbacks, just relpy to this topic. stay iTuned! 🙂
bye, bye,
Marco

Whooooa 4everskiff!
Won't your method result in the library being wiped? Should you not back this up first then reimport to iTunes after successful install?

hi burndave!
i cant get I tunes to work even after i think a succseful un install....I am getting a error message 2095 and quick time wont work .......any ideas
for a #2095 (and a #2093, too), try a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.4 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes work properly again?
love, b

hi infamouspenguin!
okay, have you tried the InstallShield advice on the 1606? there's a link to that off this document:
Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
keep us posted.

hi,
please help!!
Okay so i have tried pretty much everything (excluding throwing my pc down a flight of stairs! which i may have to do very soon!)
i tried your tips but it didnt work for me.
i had iTunes 4 then an upgrade cae up one day. i pushed okay it downloaded but before it finished it stopped completely. then it cleared itself completely from my computer. i uninstalled quicktime then tried to reinstall both. however this failed saying "The installation shield was interrupted before installation could be completed please try again later".
soo..... i left it for a few days.
tried again to no avail. i have spent 3 months trying to get it working. i have gotten rid of the anti-virus program(avg), still doesnt worked. completely deleted anything to do with iTunes and Quicktime, still doesnt install. i even tried installing iTunes again off my cd that i got with my mini ipod, still nothing improves. there are no viruses or worms or anything on the computer. and have only filled up like half of the memory availabe on the computer.
i have restarted the computer countless times, reconfigured my ipod which now has reset itself so no i have no songs to listen to!!
i am completely stuffed!!
please, please, please, someone help me! im going insane because i cant listen to music on my pc or ipod!
HELP!!!
thanks, me 🙂
