Runtime error R6034

Thanks, turingtest2, worked like a charm, and I am only sorry I fiddled and futzed with the bad iTunes software update and the Runtime library error for four hours before finding this thread. But it's fixed!

NOW, A QUESTION: This happened Friday night when "Apple Software Update" found the new iTunes release on my Windows (7)(64) laptop computer and I told it to install. But I ALSO have a Windows (7)(64) desktop computer and I don't want to fight all this again! I haven't yet been asked by Apple Software Update to go to the new iTunes version on the desktop, but I anticipate that I might. So. . . since several of us on this thread had this same headache with the Runtime error, is it apparent there is a bug of some sort in the new iTunes release/download?? Should I hold off for now if asked to update? What is your advice? THANKS AGAIN!

You're welcome. 🙂

I've no idea why this has happened. My XP box at home had the same kind of meltdown during the install, my Win 7 box at work installed perfectly. I'd probably hold off installing it on your other computer for now unless you're happy to spend the time fixing if it goes wrong. As far as I know there aren't any major changes in this build so I don't think you'd miss much by holding out until the next one.

Hi Everyone....

IT WORKED.

just finished going through the process recommended by turingtest2 - and it has seemed that this has worked. I just wish that I had come to this forum as soon as I got that first error, and not waste 4 hours of my life trying to sort the thing out on my own. THANK YOU APPLE FORUMS. GREAT SERVICE!!!!

Many thanks for the info. I should have checked the discussion board before wasting a couple of hours trying to fix the problem. Hopefully Apple will make sure that the next iTune update will not cause a similar problem. 🙂

Thank you turingtest2 for the solution. It works for me.

I loose a 1/2 day to find on internet a fix. One hour to fix it.

Thank you Apple, where can I post my bill ???

For a French man, like me, it was better to speak the Shakespeare language !....

Hi turingtest2. When I try reinstalling iTunes it says that "The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified. Please run the installer again, or click Finish to exit."

Any ideas?

I've been trying all night to reinstall iTunes. Following all the steps. I have tried deleting the Apple folder in C:/Program Files/Common Files. It keeps telling me I need permission to perform this action. Very quickly losing my patience. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

turingtest2,

I followed the fix you wrote and it still doesn't work. Still getting Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error as well as error 1114 and R6034, icudt49.dll missing. And to install again. What to do now? Thanks!

Try rebooting into safe mode.

I have the same problems with you. So I tried to manually delete all files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\

but still some files could not be deleted since they seem to be used by another program. It turned that iCloud Control Panel was still installed. So after I uninstalled this, that folder is gone and the iTunes can be installed without a problem. Thank you turingtest2 for giving this guide 😁

turingtest2,

I followed the fix procedure but it still doesn't work.

DOESN'T WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still getting Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library error as well as error 1114 and R6034. And to install again.

There's no way to remove Apple Mobile Device Support, trying to reinstalling iTunes i receive R6034 error, and then I cannot remove Apple Mobile Device Support.

I have Windows 7/64bit, what am I suppose to do now?

Can't believe to use iTunes again I need to format my HD, this is just unacceptable, specially from Apple.

Thank you

First, thank you so much for helping us out, Turing.

As I was following the unstall orders, I received this message "Fatal error during installation" when I was unstalling Apple Mobile Device Support. I really wanna sync my iPad and iPhone soon if possible. What should I do?

I've tried everything two or three times i've tried the detailed method I've gone into the C Dr. and deleted all Apple Bonjour folders when I reinstall iTunes it comes up with the box for Apple mobile device support do you have authorization to install or something like that with an ignore retry and abort button i've tried all three it looks like it try's to reinstall and then the runtime errors to start popping up

Hi,

I'm following the HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP guide and I can't get to delete the Apple folder in Common Files folder (specifficaly the Apple Application Support one). It sais that other applications are using it. As it said on the beggining of the guide I had to remove it on the Control Panel, but I couldn't find the program, even using the execute command, so there's only the folder. The problem's there, as I've uninstalled everything and everytime I reboot Windows i get the C++ error. HELP!

Magically, after posting this, the folder got deleted. I am reinstalling again but the Apple Mobile Device Support won't get installed. I'm ignoring it. It says Apple Application Support is not found, so I have to uninstall and install again. ??????????
