iTunes 8.0.1 update downloads but problem installing ..screenshots. please send help.

[Rybold]

When I first download the iTunes 8.0.1 update, it downloads, but then towards the end of the "installing," an error occurs. Yes, I have already tried turning my computer off and rebooted. It then says to click "tools" then "download only," which I did and it downloaded a folder onto my computer. But now what? What do I click on next? (I tried clicking on each of the icons in the folder - nothing happens)

Don't ask this question on a primarily Mac-focused forum?

It looks like a useless MSFT error message. Errors occurred, but there's no dump!

Try downloading the iTunes installer from this site:

https://swdlp.apple.com/cgi-bin/Web...unes/download&isMiniiFrameReq=N&showMac=false

You should verify that no iTunes software is running during the installation process. There is an "iTunes Helper" application that I deleted.

are u doing this on an admin account? if not then you need an admin account i also suggest if that dosent work just go to apple.com and download it from there. It would definitely work if u download strait from apple website im a pc user =)
