stuck at apple mobile device support installer

Hi,


I tried to install iTunes and I got stuck at the very end of the installation so I tried to install the components and the problem seems to be the mobile device support setup. I get stuck in the middle of installation of that file and nothing happens it just installs but no progress and no error message.


I uninstalled everything apple related with revo and ccleaner but no luck

Im on windows 10.....

Windows 10

See this excellent trouble shooting page by turingtest2:


Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates


The general troubleshooting advice when iTunes fails to install properly (and reinstalling or repairing it does not work) is to remove not only iTunes but all related components, reboot, remove the target installation folders and reinstall. See the section:


Removing and reinstalling iTunes and Other Software Components

this is what happened...


I installed walkr and my iPhone wasnt recognized so I installed iTunes and everything worked fine. I removed walkr with Revo and my bonjour was also deleted and my Time capsule didnt work. I panicked and removed everything apple reletated with Revo and after that I couldnt install AMDS no more.

I tried everything you said in your guide, deleted every single file with revo and CCleaner,I deleted avery folder manually but I cant get AMDS to install.

It starts and somewhere in the middle the progress bar doesnt move no more and nothing happens.

Never heard of walkr. It seems like a standard app. Shouldn't have anything to do with the issue. Can you use System Restore to go back to a point before you used Revo and CCleaner. This might allow the steps I've outlined to complete successfully.
