Applepushservice.dll file - can I get this somewhere?

I upgraded to iTunes 10.6 (Windows Vista 32-bit) and since then, cannot access iTunes. Got the following error message:

This application has failed to start because ApplePushService.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Clicked OK on that window and get another window:

iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes.

Error 7 (Windows error 126).

Since that happened, I have followed the advice I got here and from Apple's support files, which was to delete every Apple program from my computer, re-boot, and then re-install iTunes. I have done that 5 times over the past few days and still get the error message. I am completely stuck.

My question is, can I download this file somewhere? I can't find any information on doing that on the Apple support site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m running Windows 7 (Ultimate - 64bits) and was keep on getting “ApplePushService.dll was not found” , “iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” error, right after upgrading from iTunes 10.5.3 to its 10.6.1.7 version, no matter how many times I had the whole Apple’s products uninstalled and re-installed over and over, it just didn’t work!

Short answer:

Removed my “Emsisoft anti-malware” (I didn’t bother to go and add some exception rule or possible workaround within the app, just removed it totally!. In your case, it might be any other anti-malware software)

Longer answer, “how did I do it?” method:

So I looked for “ApplePushService.dll” file online and after getting its MD5 (2F9BC257E314003FF0C332583C4F36C8) could get a copy of it from the net but after placing it in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\” it was getting removed automatically and instantly by an application without even giving any warning about its possible security issue.

Prior to this head ache I had all following applications running on my system;

1: Avira anti-virus (FREE edition) 2: COMODO firewall 3: Emsisoft anti-malware 4:Windows firewall 5:Windows Defender

So started by removing “Avira” and setting both Windows Firewall and Defender to OFF and still no luck, story short, after removing “Emsisoft Anti-Malware” and rebooting the PC and then replacing “ApplePushService.dll” in its designated folder, everything was back to normal!

I hope it’s been helpful to you guys out there and saved you from an unavoidable sleepless-night!
