Can anyone please help me with this error: "Apple application support was not found... Error 2"

I've followed the instructions by removing all Apple files from my laptop, but when I reinstall the iTunes software it still comes up with this message:


"Apple application support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2"


Thank you

I have been unable to install itunes on my laptop due to error 2; i read previous forums for the fix to error 2 and im receiving this error now. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well. error reads: "Apple Application was not found. Apple Application is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall ITunes then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows Error 2).

Have you tried the steps in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates? IF not do that first, otherwise remove everything again and reboot then try the following method to install.


Download and install 7-Zip (free) and download a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). If any of the components still fail to install you may get more useful error messages as to why not.
