"MSVCR80.dll Missing"

That works. Thank you.

Stoopid this has to be done but it certainly worked for me and reinstall had all my preferences etc 'as was'.

Thanks for the advice. I tried just uninstalling Itunes to no avail. System restore was useless. Followed your advice and it worked brilliantly, even better my library was still intact. Was worried I'd lose it. Thanks again. Regards Paul

Exactly the same here. 🙂

Hi

Thanks for all the help on this.

Uninstalling all things Apple and reinstalling worked for me.

Just one more annoying experience with Apple following on from IOS7 and the ipad.

Think Apple and I are coming to the end of the road .

I removed all of the Apple programs on two PC's with the same problem. I still couldn't install and received the same error message. Finally, I tried reinstalling QuickTime first and followed that with another attempt to load iTunes. This worked on both PC's. Im thinking loading QuickTime restored the missing dll file. I had even tried reinstalling Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable and that didn't solve the problem.

Thank you for your direction. I was able to successfully re-install iTunes.

Thank you Again.

Thank you otacon72 so much for your direction. I was able to successfully re-install iTunes.

Thank you Again.

Thanks for the information.

Thanks otacon72 this seems to have worked for me. All my music has been left intact.

Me too!

I just uninstalled all apple products, rebotted, reinstalled itunes and it works perfectly! AND my library is intact!

Thanks!!

Thank you, this worked perfectly!! Now, my question is, if we downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now it works, what was in the update to make it not work?

I did this and was able to install itunes, but only my purchased music is there (about 300 of my 1500 songs!) - no playlists, etc. Do you happen to know if I will I be able to sync everything that is on my ipod back onto the computer?

Fix described by tkbear posted January 27th at 10:23pm WORKS! Yay and thankyouthankyou to tkbear. I also uninstalled apple program Voice Over Kit along with all the other programs listed in tkbear's post. Yes, i got the error message while unstalling Bonjour and ignored it, and the uninstall completed just fine. And yes, after following tkbear's instructions, itunes installed fine with my library intact. Thanks again, you just saved my music life!

cheers from Cat

Apple - you are starting to act like microsoft. test your crap before you distribute. I shouldn't have to unistall all your software and reinstall.
