The full and exact text of the error message would help us give you more targeted suggestions.



For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.


The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.


The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try theiTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.



Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

OK, see the full tear down instructions as given in the second box of the user tip. Make sure to reboot before attempting to reinstall. Disable any anti-virus while installing and run the installer from an administrator account. If that error occurs again you try repairing iTunes from the Programs and Features control panel. If it still won't work tear it out again and try the "for older video cards" version.
