iTunes version 12.12.0.6 only works on English-language Windows, crashes on startup when Windows UI is in a different language

I have tried all the steps given. I changed the language from English UK to USA. This did not work. I removed I tunes and downloaded an older version. This did not work either. What do I do to get this working again. This isn't very good customer service!

Good that they stopped enrollment but it’s too little too late. Many many thousands already taken the plunge. They need to push a new update pronto via Apple software update and in ms store. I am not comfortable uninstalling iTunes and putting an older version up in case it has nasty side effects on my carefully built up library of music. The language change might be an idea but I am worried about unforeseen side effects in my system on other stuff if that is done. I am trying to patiently wait for a new version to be pushed but it is very frustrating. I just hope when and if an update arrives no damage is already done. I already went into control panel and selected repair. Then downloaded via browser the version again and installed, was given option to repair and went for that again. This was all before the bug causing it became clear or else I’d of held off. Same end result anyway. Just hope the library isn’t hosed up.

Thank you so much. This is correct, I was not able to run the iTunes App installed from Microsoft Store till I tried your trick and made sure my this below, found under Windows 10 language settings, was set exactly like:

( I was using English - Canada before )

Actually, I use iTunes downloaded by Apple’s website. After the update, I can’t use it anymore, then I downloaded from Microsoft Store too and not work as well. So now, I have both iTunes (from MS Store and Apple's website) and no one of them are working.

Looks like a new version may be with all of us soon. I don’t use the store version and avoid Microsoft’s store like the plague. So waiting for the traditional delivery method of ‘Apple software update’ to offer a new version. So far nothing showing up as says I am up to date. I even went to the website for iTunes to download the windows 64 bit version via my browser. But the installer fails saying a newer version exists on my pc. So I am assuming that version is still not updated to 12.12.1.1 bit frustrating, hope this version will get pushed soon via apple software update and my library setup isn’t affected by all this (that’s why I haven’t uninstalled iTunes and put an earlier version on as don’t want to take any risks with my matched library)

Thank you for your reply.

With the exception of the keyboard, set to U.S. language, all other language settings are in

English (Canada). System information reports "locale" is the U.S. Do any of the language settings need to be updated to prevent the iTunes error? Please advise.

Thank you.

Microsoft store reports iTunes "is currently not available." Does this mean iTunes is not available for all Windows users or only users who don't have the required language? No Apple update - we are told files are missing and to reinstall iTunes. Of course if we could reinstall we wouldn't have the problem!

Downloading now the "latest" version pushed on me this morning, 12.1.1

Hoping that at this point I can reset my language settings back to the Christian goodness that is English - Other rather than wonky English based on silly land U S & A.

Wish me luck.

Version 12.12.1.1 doesn't install in Windows 7.... and i can't update my IPhone12 Pro to version 15 unless I update my Itunes to the latest version... now currently running verion 12.10.11.2........................

Thank you, guess I won’t fiddle with anything. Don’t want any other side effects. Apple needs to get a new release ASAP.

Ciao Massimo, esiste una soluzione a parte cambiare la lingua di sistema? C'è da aspettare un fix da parte di Apple? Grazie

I have installed this same version on my english windows 10 laptop and get the same msge

I've got the same message on my Traditional-Chinese windows UI.
