0x80073715

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.

Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?

If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 0x80073715, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

Okay ... this is a less standard one, but there's a hotfix from Microsoft that looks like it might be applicable. See the following document:

FIX: "HRESULT: 0x80073715" error when you install an application by using an .msi file if the file is merged with merge modules for the Visual C++ 2005 runtime library
