I recently re-formated my PC with Windows XP Pro w/sp2 and i have everything up and running but i'm trying to install the latest Itunes...i got the installer from apple.com when I run the installer i don't get any errors or anything nothing runs.  What can I do to fix this?

try this,
make sure you have winrar,
rename the installer from ~itunes_installer~.exe to anything.zip
extract it with winrar
and run all the msi files individually

make sure you have installed all the latest windows updates first.  i think the itunes install needs .net framework (correct me if i'm wrong)

running msi files individually is a BAD idea as it's not a proper install process.

basically just make sure everything else is up to date....then re-download the installer (make sure it actually re-downloads rather than just using the cached one....clear your cache if necessary, or use filehippo.com or something) and then try running it again and tell us what happens

i tried install .net and still doesn't work..should I try re-formating?

have you upgraded to SP3 and done all full windows updates, including .net?

so you just double click the installer and NOTHING happens?

open task manager and go to the processes tab.......does the process ITunesSetup.exe run?

I havn't installed SP3...but I have ITUNES before on my XP w/sp2

You should always install all service packs and updates installed (unless for some reason they conflict with something on your machine)

it's not certain that this will solve the problem but it helps to eliminate one thing

also:

so you just double click the installer and NOTHING happens?

open task manager and go to the processes tab.......does the process ITunesSetup.exe run?

please answer these questions

nothing happens and no the itunessetup.exe doesn't run

do other installers downloaded from the internet run properly?

yes
