The key seems to be deleting a file or setting or registry key that is hanging up the program.

There seem to be residual file/files from attempted (but failed) installations or uninstallations.

Manually deleteing everything related to Apple of iTunes seems to be step one.

Running antiviral software to check seems logical (mine didn't find anything)

An independent file cleaner of some sort (I used CCleaner) can be very helpful (over, simply, OS utilities).

Others are AusLogics, Norton's .......

Registry repair (same programs) makes sense.

Once you are convinced that your computer is free of Apple files (see turingtest2 list of the important ones), go back through the installation process (preferrably 'as Administrator') --- get to that by 'right click' on the '.exe'

Actually this issue is a pain Ukn@w where...


I did what it says on the original post and didn't work, then tired of searching for a solution, tried my own.


Removed all the apps listed including iCloud CP reboot, then went to regedit, delete all the apple soft related I mean (ALL registers) then go back to the explorer and deleted the iTunes folder in music 30.3 GB or so... and reinstalled.


Fixed.


And that's why I hate all related with gĂĽindous; I love my Mac but I have to work with 'em at the office.


Yeah that ***.

Your solution worked beautifully. I Also had the problem with Adobe CS4 Bridge, so I deactivated my license and uninstalled the whole suite. After that I reinstalled Itunes and everything is working like a charm. Didn't have the problem on my Ipad, only on my PC.


Would you have any suggestions on finding problem opening a program. I have DesignPro 5.5 on my office computer and when I try to open it, it immediately closes. I don't remember the message I get. I have the same program on another computer and don't have the problem, except when I open a product label the header (top section) which is the product group and company name and address is missing. The bottom section with stock number, and product name is missing. The lable(s) were originally created in Corel Draw 9 and were imported as a jpeg. I have uninstalled the program on my office computer several times and reinstalling. When I reinstalled today

the program opened up and the files were fine. When I tried to open again later on, the problem reoccured. There is something I need to look for that is either missing or corrupt, but don't know where to look. Avery Dennison is not supporting this anymore. Any help would be appreciated .

Hi, Good to know you got iTunes fixed. 🙂


The general advice of uninstall, reboot, reinstall works nearly all the time. When it doesn't it can be hard to track down why not. You may get lucky if there is a meaningful error message that somebody has written up a resolution for. With the "working" unit and the labels I'd be thinking of some sort of margins issue, but I don't actually know the software you're talking about.

Hello! You seem to be quite the expert, so maybe you can answer my question. I just bought a new iPhone and traded in my old one in-store. When I got home to transfer my backed up data onto my new phone, I was greeted with that runtime error. If I follow the steps that you've posted for removing and reinstalling iTunes, will all of my backed up data be lost? Thanks!

Me too! I've been having this error @ windows boot, and at various other times with other apps...i've been going Crazy trying to figure out what i installed or uninstalled that stripped that library... iTunes was not even on my radar.


Uninstalled all per instructions...reinstalled, launched iTunes (all settings et al returned as they were) ... and no more C++ runtime errors from other apps.


Thank you very much for your time to post the solution.

I have followed all the steps and finally got everything removed, I try to reinstall last night and got error ("Apple Application Support was not found" Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again." Error 2 (Windows error 2)" ) I then went through the uninstall process again which happened to be only iTunes and none of the other supporting programs. After download and install, I got the same error as above along with "Apple Application Support was not found" Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again." Error 2") so now I have those two errors. Could you point me in a direction that I could try next please?

I have tried everything again. I used winRAR and tried to extract contents and I must be doing it wrong because they are not extracting. I'm so frustrated with iTunes and Microsoft right now that I'm going to go out and buy a Linux machine and an Android phone. I just want the previous version of iTunes back! The **** thing updated itself and screwed everything up! Can you post the link to get a previous version again please? Apple and Microsoft are competing to see who can **** users off the most and make them install a million useless updates a week!

I feel your pain azmomof3grls. !!!!!! I am beyond frustrated and fed up right now. I have an Associates in Computer Networking/IT and experience in the field of tech support for various programs and network monitoring. I have NEVER had something so difficult and seen so many steps thrown at you to "see what it does". Well, endeth the rant. Good luck to you and everyone else that is having issues. I hope that all of these issues will be figured out so future iTunes users will be able to have exact directions on how to fix the issue!

Easy fix on windows XP

1) Start Windows task manager.....hold ctrl+alt+delete, then choose START TASK MANAGER

2) In task manager click tab services

3) under services tab find "MSiSCSI" right click choose STOP SERVICE


I did this immediately after seeing the error while Apple updates was trying to run. It works and if you ever need the service it restarts on its own.
