Hi,

Read this from Apple:

If you can't install or update iTunes for Windows

________________________________________

Uninstall everything as per Apple's instructions:

"Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows 7 and later"

https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204275

Uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:

iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support 32-bit
Apple Application Support 64-bit

On some systems, you might see two versions of Apple Application Support or iTunes. This is expected. If you see two versions, make sure that you uninstall both.

Or use this Program to remove it:
