I have purchased a new ipod shuffle and it requires itunes version 7.2 or later. However, I cannot download the new version because I get a "not a valid win32 application" error. I have an ipod nano which has been working fine on the itunes but just seem to be having trouble downloading the latest version. Very frustrating because I cannot use the new ipod shuffle until this problem is fixed.

If you go to the Start menu, choose Run then type in regsvr32 vbscript.dll Press enter key, and wait for confirmation to pop up. Repeat that but this time type regsvr32 jscript.dll Press enter again and wait for confirmation to pop up. If you're running Vista instead of XP the steps are similar, but you'll need to run those commands as adminstrator - you should be able to do that by pressing Shift and Ctrl keys when you press enter (and you'll get the message 'this command is asking for permissions...) After those steps, you should then be able to run the itunes and quicktime installers without that error message.
