iTunes Download problem

As noted in the user tip:

VC80 errors

The message "An error occurred during installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type="win32", version="8.0.50727.6195", publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitrcture=..." 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.

There are three files to choose from so you need to select the one that matches the processor architecture of your system, which should be noted in the error message.

• vcredist_x86.EXE - 32-bit systems <<< You want this one
• vcredist_IA64.EXE - Itanium processors
• vcredist_x64.EXE - other 64-bit systems

Can you be a little more specific as to what the error msg was?

Without any more info, perhaps this article will help:

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

Is your processor 32-bit or 64-bit?

Make sure to download all outstanding patches to your computer. Temporarily disable any third party anti virus. Right click the vcredist_x86.EXE file and use Run as administrator.
