Can anyone shed any light on this please. Get this error message pop up when we try to open itunes. The error box is titled itunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found. Thank you in advance for any advice.

We get the error message box mentioned above pop up when we try and open itunes on our laptop (which is clear of any threats / virus'). The error message itself reads,


The procedure entry point ADAdpolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be locatedin the dynamic link library AdCore.dll.

Entry point errors can usually be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of from the programs and features control panel. iAdCore.dll is part of the main iTunes application and should be located in one of the following locations:

  • C:\Program Files\iTunes
  • C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes



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.


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 the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues, or for compatibility with QuickTime or third party software on 64-bit systems.


Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.



Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.



If the issue persists and you have a 64-bit system try the for older video cards version which is a 64-bit installer for mostly 32-bit code, similar to all 64-bit versions of iTunes up to 12.1.
