I'm still having trouble with Error 7 (Windows error 193) - Sept 2015

Hello,

I've followed all the instructions on this thread (If you see Error 7 (Windows error 193) when you try to install iTunes for Windows - Apple Support) and this one (Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support), and still no luck fixing the issue.

I'm running Windows 7 - 64bit, and I've already checked and I'm up to date on system updates as of (9/20/2015). I've followed the instructions on the two links above 3 times now.

Is there anything else I can do?

iTunes-OTHER, Windows 7

This procedure did not work for me either. What finally worked was to right-click on the downloaded install file and click "Unblock". I then installed using "Run as administrator" and I didn't have any problem.

Hope this helps somebody else!

I had the exactly same problem - followed the guide at If you see Error 7 (Windows error 193) when you try to install iTunes for Windows - Apple Support as well. Finally I did a ProcMon on ITunesHelper.exe - and the above guide should not be followed - instead just add the following to your windows PATH (assuming windows 10 64Bit and c:\) C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

You can use a tool like Rapid Environment Editor (remember to run as Administrator)

Apple - Please fix so the installer sets the PATH correct and can find your shared app files on windows 10 - I actually think MS have changed the way it resolves the Common Files folders.

As soon as I did the above it worked as expected.
