Can't install iTunes on HP Stream 11

Why won't WHAT install? You have posted on a 2-year old thread about old versions of iTunes, and an older version of an HP computer with Windows 8.

See this about constructing a question before you post again, and I suggest that you start your own thread question to receive the help you need. Writing an effective Apple Support Communities question

Try the advice in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates or describe your symptoms in greater detail. Are there any error messages for example?

iTunes should install and run fine on a Stream 11 as long as you have enough room to install it on the C: drive. For all but the most trivial of libraries you'll need to use an SD card to extend storage or have your library on an external/USB hard drive. I'm running on a Stream 13 (essentially the same machine with a larger screen) with my library on a 2TB USB 3.0 drive, and can even run iTunes on the Stream 7 tablet.

Based on recent reports the error you're seeing may be associated with an incomplete or corrupted installer download. I would try downloading again - for the current release of iTunes (12.3.2.35) the file and file size should be:

64-bit - iTunes6464Setup.exe - file size 167,608,088 bytes

See also turingtest2's user tip on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on iTunes installation problems, including direct links to current and past iTunes installers.

Quick update - Apple have patched the 12.3.2.35 release to correct the widely-reported bug that caused the Store screen within iTunes to flash. Unfortunately both the old and new installers are identified as "12.3.2.35". It is possible that the fault in the initial 12.3.2.35 installer that for most people resulted in the display issue could, on some systems, generate a Windows error on installation, so I'd suggest that its definitely worth downloading again now. The "new" installer for 12.3.2.35 is a different size compared to the original release from December 9 - the new one (64-bit) is 167,583,000 bytes.

Thanks for spotting that. I've updated the links in the user tip to point to newer versions.

Just the messenger ... I picked it up from one of the threads on the "flashing Store page" issue 😉

For anyone wanting to distinguish the "old" and "new" 32-bit 12.3.2.35 installers:

• original (December 9) installer, Windows 7 32-bit or later - iTunesSetup.exe - file size 117,524,248 bytes
• fixed (December 24) installer, Windows 7 32-bit or later - iTunesSetup.exe - file size 117,542,680 bytes
