Q: Installing iTunes with error message

I am downloading to a new computer.  I received this message: Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.   I have administrator privleges on this computer.  I am using Windows 7.  I have done this on other computers in the past with no problem.  I have attempted twice with not success.

Windows 7

    I copied and pasted this from another discussion regarding a similar question:

     

    Go into Programs and Features

     

    Uninstall:

     

    iTunes

    Bonjour*

    Apple Software Update

    Apple Application Support

    Quicktime*

    iCloud*

    Apple Mobile Device Support

     

    * I didn't have to uninstall Bonjour, iCloud or Quicktime to fix my issue but it won't hurt anything to uninstall them.

     

    Reboot. Download a fresh copy of iTunes. Right click on the exe file and select Run as Administrator if you have the option if not just Run it. Should fix the issue.
