What happens when you try to reinstall iTunes? Do you get an error message? If so, what does the error message say? (Precise text, please.)

Okay ... so it does reinstall, but you get that message when trying to launch after the reinstall?
If so, a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related software components is worth a try. (The 7s can indicate trouble with other software components, such as Apple Application Support.) For instructions, see the following documents:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Update your .netframe work to version 4 (see other help posts by apple support)
Follow the instructions on this link, basically un-install everything, remove programs that says they are made by apple inc. (using add remove program)

You will also need to check and verify that the following folders have been removed:
dont forget to remove icloud alsoyou dont need to delete your itune music library though If any of these folders still exist, delete them along with their contents. (if you cant delete them, right click and go to properties and then security and change the control of the fold to you)do this for files under program files and program file (x86) on your computer once you have deleted everything, restart your computer. Then I repaired my registry using a registry repair program. Important:- instead of installing itunes I installed quick time, which installs apple application support (this is the corrupt file which is causing all the issues) i then installed itunes and it all worked fine, should take no longer than half hour to fix 🙂 hope this helps
Absolutely brilliant, the only post of all I have tried that solved the problem of my error 7 (126) when installing itunes. Just get rid of everything apple and do as Flinneybee says and it works.

FYI: It looks like DivX was causing some issues for me. Removed it from my pc and can use itunes again.
Thank you Flinneybee
Apple Support Centre referred me to Microsoft so v. happy when I found your post. Worked perfectly and eliminated all the dll errors.
Flinneybee - you don't know me...but I LOVE YOU!!!! <3 🙂 Thank you so so so so much!! I have been fighting with iTunes for over a week now trying to resolve this issues, uninstalling, re-installing, nothing worked.....................UNTIL I found your post & it worked!!! Thank you so so much!
I tried unistalling/ reinstalling all the apple applications on my computer, nothing worked. For 2 hours for doing the same thing. Finally I found your post. It worked perfectly. Thank you so much Flinneybee! 🙂
Thank you very much. I had some problems with my Java and always thought that iTunes was to blame. So I went about reinstalling every thing related to Java and was successful. But iTunes was still alluding. I followed your instructions and now every thing is in place. Java had its own problems but I needed it for other works. Once such works were over I could test iTunes. Your instructions really helped. Thank you again.

Thank you thank you thank you!
Like some of these other posters, I wasted an entire evening updating/installing/uninstalling/installing and kept getting the windows error 126.
Your solutions worked.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Thanks for the tips! Uninstalling iTunes and every other piece of Apple software, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes did the trick.
Thank you sooo much for that. You saved my music which means you saved my life. You should charge for that advice. You are a star, thank you again. G.🙂
Spent hours working on this problem. Started with Microsoft and went downhill from there. Not sure why this problem took so long to pop up in comparison to some of your posts but it did today. FRUSTRATION!
Flinneybee had the fix nailed. 30 minutes was just about right to fix the Error7 (Microsoft error 126) problem. Uninstalling all things apple and reinstalling Quicktime prior to Itunes did the trick. Should have started at the message boards.
Flinneybee, Thanks again.
