Hi Liam,

Assuming that you are trying to install a compatible version of iTunes, you can try the methods below:

Method 1: Right click on the setup file and, from the drop down menu, select "run as administrator".

Method 2: Open command prompt in elevated mode and, then unregistered and re-register Windows Installer.

1. In the Start search box and then type 'cmd', when the command application appears at the top of the start window, right click on it and, from the drop down menu, select 'run as administrator' and type each of these commands in the command prompt and press Enter
  • msiexec /unregister 
  • msiexec /regserver
msiexec.exe belongs to the Windows Installer Component and is used to install new programs that use Windows Installer package files (MSI)

Method 3: Start the Windows Installer service
  1. Click Start, type Services.msc and press {ENTER}
  2. Double-click Windows Installer
  3. Set the Startup type of Windows Installer to Manual
  4. Click Start to start the service. Note down the error message if any.
  5. Click OK.After that it should get installed successfully.
If the above mentioned steps don’t resolve the issue, you can try the below as well:

Try to empty your Temp directory and restart
  1. Choose Start > Computer
  2. In Computer, open the "C:" drive.
  3. Open the Users folder. Double-click the folder titled with your username.
  4. If you see an AppData folder, skip to step 10. If you don't see an AppData folder, proceed to the next step.
  5. Choose Organize > Folder and Search Options. Click the View tab.
  6. Select the option to "Show hidden files and folders." (In Windows 7 this option will be called "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"). Click OK.
  7. Double-click the AppData folder to open it. If Windows needs your permission to continue click Continue.
  8. Double-click the Local folder to open it. Right-click on the Temp folder and choose Delete.
  9. In the confirmation dialog that appears click Yes.
  10. Restart your computer.
I hope this helps.

Regards,
Lokesh
