iTunes won't install properly, gives a rather cryptic error message.
I am trying to install iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, so I can sync my iPod touch. However, when I go to install it, it takes a while on "Publishing product information" and eventually gives me this cryptic error message:
"An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054F"
I've done some research and it seems to be a .NET-related error. However, none of the suggested fixes work: I've tried updating Windows, uninstalling and reinstalling .NET 4.5, ran "sfc /scannow", nothing works. I've also tried separately installing .NET, only to get the same error message. Anything helps, thanks.
