Trying to install itunes
OK I need some serious troubleshooting help. I am running build 7100 of Windows 7 x64 RC.
My main music player on my old XP install was itunes, and I was hoping it would work here, but I can't seem to get it to install. I realize itunes isn't officially supported for Windows 7, but I know prople have gotten it to work, I just can't figure out how.
Last night, I downloaded and ran the 64-bit Vista installer, but instantly it gave me some error about not having Quicktime and that itunes needs it. I don't really understand the point of the error since the itunes installers are supposed to provide both. Anyway, I downloaded and installed Quicktime by itself. So now the itunes installer just says there were errors during installation, and no files were changed/installed. I've tried the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions. I've run the installer as administrator. I've run it in compatability mode and tried every possible previous Windows version it allowed. I get the same error every time.
Some things to note:
All of the itunes installers seem for itunes and Quicktime both, though I still have Quicktime installed on its own. I don't know if this matters or not. I haven't gotten any farther in the install process after installing standalone Quicktime, only the error has changed.
I have Windows 7 installed on its own partition, and have been installing all other programs to their own partition. Does it matter where itunes is installed? And does the install path have to include "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)"? I've tried installing to the default path as well as with the rest of the programs on my E:\ drive, the error remains the same. I just want to eliminate any future issues if I get past the first second of installing.
Any further help would be appreciated. Thanks.
