Problems with iTunes install:A solution

[Steve]

Anyone having difficulty installing iTunes or iTunes updates?Problems seem to exist on certain machines particularly those running vista, it seems to relate to starting the bonjour service during install.If it fails to start the installation fails.

1.Turn off IPv6 on all network connections whether connected or not.

Run the software download, open the download folder

Copy the downloaded programs to c:\ open command prompt and run as Administrator, from prompt run setupadmin.exe, bonjour.msi,Itunes.msi, quicktime.msi.Applemobiledevicesupport.msi

Its a bit long winded, but at least it worked for me
