iTunes 9.0.1.8 open...but not?

iTunes appears to install smoothly and there is no indication that it failed to install. However, when I view the Reliability Monitor is says: Windows Installer / Stopped Working. I know this has something to do with iTunes because the time stamp is dead on and I haven't tried to install anything else. There is a "Check for Solutions" button and I clicked it, but it says there are no solutions currently available.

The details are as follows:

Calvin what sound card/chip do you have?

I do not have a separate sound card, using the mobo for now.

Asus P5N-T Deluxe nForce 780i SLI Mainboard FSB1333 DDR2 3 x PCIe x16 SATA RAID w/ USB2.0,IEEE1394,&7.1Audio

there is a problem between itunes and a sound card but it isn't yours. From the snips below it appears that itunes wasn't installed correctly. You should reboot into safe mode and un-install the driver. You may have to kill the itunes processes if they are running (shouldn't be in safe mode)

then download a new copy and try installing it in safe mode. check reliability to see if it was sucessful

Let us know

I think I am just going to accept that iTunes isn't compatible (yet).

***Impatiently waiting for Apple to fix this.

I've got to run out the door soon, but I may try this later tonight. That is if I'm not still as discouraged as I am now.

You might also try running an elevated sfc/scannow from cmd, might be something with your Win7 install, just to check.

sfc/scannow?

Airbot is right. itunes itself is completely compatibile. Its just the 9.0.x that is giving us fits so you could just try a slightly older version . Im using it right now.

Let us know how we can help

I've been searching this forum and have read that others have had issues with iTunes 8, too.

It seems to be a hit or miss deal.
