iTunes Component not Installed? Error -45075?

I am not tech savvy and have been deployed for a while so I haven't been able to access my iTunes, but when I did I needed to download the latest version of iTunes to connect my iPhone.


I downloaded the latest version of iTunes (v. 11.1.2) for my Windows 7 PC.


Once the download was complete I reopened iTunes and before it went through it's entire launch an error message popped up stating that: "A required iTunes component was not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-45075)".


I reinstalled/repaired iTunes from the apple website and the same message has popped up. I have repeated this process 4 times now.


Can anyone help me with this problem?


Much appreciated! Thank you!


I have included a picture of the message.

Davidjm464,

Thanks for the positive feedback. I am happy that this manual effort is still working. Actually I should check the re-install script in itunes.exe. Am lazy as its 95Mb plus in size and that is a fair amount of code to sift through. Like most of us on here, we dont have the time, nor do apple for some reason (its their code and it would be easy for them to find the cause).


Good luck and hope you are trouble free if not blast a post and I'll take a look.

Go to the control panel, then to programs and in direct order uninstall all of the iTunes components, dont use any other software for that

1. Apple Application Support

2. Apple Mobile Device Support

3. Bonjour

4. ICloud

5. ITunes

6. QuickTime.


This worked perfect for me, it was the issue of older version of these programs, when you uninstall them the newest verion of iTunes will install them with all the updates the newest version of iTunes needs.

Hope it'll help you at some point

This plagued me too and i could not reinstall, repair or uninstall! But I found a really simple solution. I am brutally techNONsavvy but it turned out that the SHORTCUT was CORRUPTED! Went to the start menu, typed in iTunes and selected it (was at the top of the list). That worked so I deduced that the shortcuts (desktop, start menu) were the culprits. Maybe this will be obvious to others but maybe not. It sure made it to from another computer **** to relief in a few, albeit agonizing, minutes!

Cheers all. Good luck!
