I can't re-install iTunes because my PC says there is a newer version already installed, but it's gone. I've tried removing all registry refences and uninstalling all apple software to allow a clean install; but I keep getting the same error message. What next?
Windows, Windows 6
Hello SpSpkWA,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand being unable to install iTunes on your PC, and we'd be happy to help.
We have a handy article here that will help to get this resolved. Check this out:
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows 7 and later
We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. When reinstalling right click on the downloaded setup file and use run as administrator. It may also help to temporarily disable any non-Microsoft anti-virus.
Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, or want to revert to an older version if the current one won't work properly for you at the moment. Links to the most recent builds are now at the bottom of the page.
Your library and device backups should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
