itunes not installing mulitple issues

Hi TT, thanks for the reply. This is one of the steps I took after reading your troubleshooting thread on install problems. I just shortened the description of the Microsoft link(being lazy) as well as the first error code. Do you know which particular version of the Visual C++ update to use, as there are 3 to choose from, as I D/L'ed the x86 version, based on the contents of the error code. I will go through your troubleshoot, and try to resolve 😐

Hiho, update. Been through troubleshoot, d/l'ed direct link for iTunes setup, extracted using 7-zip, un-installed in sequence, virus and firewall off, UAC off, windows module installer service, started re-installed alphabetically all msi files (apple application support 64 bit produced the error code "An error occurred during installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type="win32", version="8.0.50727.6195", publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitrcture=...") apple mobile device service failed to start during install, same result, error 2 on starting iTunes.

Going to try the regedit idea, should I un-install all iTunes components before the reg edit or after?😕

Hi TT, another schoolboy error by me, usual protocol is to provide these details early on😊

Right, vcredist_x64.EXE installed, removed all iTunes/Apple files. Tried install as admin privilege, same 2 errors, removed all again, try using standalone alphabetical file install, Apple Application Support 32 bit installs, Apple Mobile Device fails to start during install, error 2 when iTunes finishes install, and iTunes won't launch due to Apple Application Support 32 bit was not found, what am I missing? PS UAC still off with firewall and scanning off

You dear sir, are a total legend. The older video card version worked, currently recovering my iTunes library from my ext HDD, may you feet be blessed with the comfort of slippers made of dove feathers➕🙂😍
