I tried to use Itunes on my laptop and I received the message " Apple Application Support Not Found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install Itunes again. Error 2 ( Windows error 2 )"

I looked for help and found the apple forums... I went through the whole process of extracting the file and redownloading and repairing the file. I re-attempted to open and run iTunes. Then I was hit with another error:

"An error occured during the installation of assembly

Now I am stuck and confused on what to do from this point forward. Help will be appreciated. BTW, I am using a Dell laptop with Windows 10.

Thanks,

The message "An error occurred during installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type="win32", version="8.0.50727.6195", publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitrcture="amd64" ' " may occur because a particular library file is not included in the distribution package supplied with iTunes or won't install for some unspecified reason. Installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update before attempting to reinstall iTunes may help.

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for further advice if required.
