I have windows 10, same problem..is there any way to fix this, please?

When I try to use Microsoft's Fix It, it pops up with 8000578 error code, and thier whole Fix It Center forum is locked

The error has no connection with iTunes registry, I think it is an Windows Installer, Windows Installer registry or hardware issue.

I've tried it on three differrent clean installations of Windows on the same hardware, with no Apple software installed before, and it went awry.

I have allways installed every new itunes version and ever falled back to an older one except for the sake of Jailbreacking, I had this issue since I changed my tired GeForce 8800GTS with the Radeon HD 5450 graphics cards last month, so I encourage everyone to post his/her hardware or at least graphics card and chipset since I have suspicions about AMD's hardware or software (their CCC).

Clearly something isn't quite right for some people. I've only just got around to making a Windows 10 test machine (64-bit, clean install) and of course iTunes installed for me without any problems at all. I was really rather hoping it might go wrong so I could dig deeper. 😐

There is another alternative version of iTunes 12.2.2 for older video cards, but I didn't tried it:

iTunes 12.2.2 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards)

Right, I think I'm beginning to make some sense of this. Unpacking the itunes6464.msi reveals a bunch of folders with four digit names. These correspond to Microsoft LocaleIDs. 1025 would be Arabic - Saudi Arabia, which isn't a supported language of the installer. Which language the installer should be trying to use is not immediately clear, but this page (assuming it isn't totally out of date) shows it should be:

1. Requested language
2. User's language
   1. GetUserDefaultUILanguage()
   2. GetUserDefaultLangID()
3. System's language (GetSystemDefaultLangID())
4. English

Changing your language and regional settings to something other than Arabic & Saudi Arabia should force msiexec to try to install itunes6464.msi using a different set of locale transforms, which should work. Judging by the contents of the .msi file supported languages are:

Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese

So for anyone one with this issue what are your current language and region settings?

Does setting them to something else allow you to install itunes6464.msi successfully?

You're welcome. 🙂
