installing itunes on windows 10.Window open saying " there is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run" Any Ideas? No error codes either

I have this same problem but with the Windows 10 Pro Creator Update (10.0.15063).

I followed all of the steps to remove all iTunes pieces, files etc and then tried to install the new iTunes X64 install and got this error message. Any hints on how to fix, I now have no access to iTunes on my pc for backups, syncing etc. I backup to the cloud, but regularly backup to my PC using iTunes for recovery purposes.

Thanks

FYi...I resolved this issue by doing the following, partly from the troubleshooting page:

Extract msi components for new iTunes using 7Zzip

Installed alphabetically as instructed - this highlighted that the issue appeared to be with Apple Software Update and Apple Application Support

Using the individual components I REPAIRED the Apple Software Update and Apple Application Support

After repair, I tried to reinstall the iTunes kit again, no joy

Repeated detailed removal of all iTunes pieces per troubleshooting page, reboot, remove files

Reinstalled the iTunex64setup and voila everything appears to be there and working.

Try the Microsoft Fix-It tool mentioned in the notes to the second box. If you cannot repair ASU nor uninstall it in the usual way then you may need to delete the installation folders manually and attempt to reinstall after rebooting. See the section install missing components. If needs be you can install everything apart from ASU if it continues to be a problem.

When I tried to download the Microsoft Fix-It Tool it said it was no longer supported.

I didn't have any issues with the scheduler either.

Mine required painstaking removal, repair of the bad individual components, reboot and then re-installation

The help looks comprehensive but incomprehensible. I installed iTunes on an xp system yet not on a windows 10 Surface Pro....

And can't install ICloud for windows with the same error.

can anyone explain why the is? And how to fix.

I have the exact same thing happening to me. only I had iTunes and when I tried to import some of my pcs music, pictures or videos it would come up with the same error so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it but then it keeps coming up with the same error message "there is a problem with your windows pc installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run". I cant repair it because I don't have it installed so I have no idea what to do can anyone help?

thanks Matt

cannot install itunes

See the last few paragraphs of Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

Can you post the exact text of the error message? It might jog a brain cell. Otherwise the steps in second box with the notes below should usually do the trick.

Try repairing Apple Software Update from the Programs and Features control panel, then reinstall 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.

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

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 installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.

Your library and device backups should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

You're welcome. 🙂

And now, I have the problem that my updated iPhone 5 cannot connect to my laptop to sync my contacts on Outlook because of an error (no codes)...solution from Support appears to be to have updated software on both devices...OK for iPhone, but unable to update Windows 10 on laptop due to a program necessary for the update being missing???

i have this problem too anybody can help me on this?
