original title: Itunes and DEP

While downloading Itunes on my laptop right before you start to install, I get a message saying that windows Explorer stops because the prevention of execution of data has stopped installation.  Is there any solution for this?  I'd like to install itunes on my laptop.

Hi thrivenformore,

Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

You could try to add iTunes to the DEP exception list.  However, this behavior is not normal.  Go to the support forum of Apple for iTunes for Windows, search on DEP.  There should be a thread "How can I turn off DEP for iTunes?" or it Prevet planting iTunes? "which provide troubleshooting steps you might want to try before adding it to the list of exceptions."

How to add the program to the DEP exception list:

1. Press Start, right click on computer and select Properties.
2. in the window that appears, click Advanced (on the left panel) system settings.
3. in the first box that says Performance, click on the settings button.
4. in the window that opens, click the Data Execution Prevention tab at the top.
5. There should be a box of exceptions in the middle of this window. Click the Add button and navigate to the C: drive, then Program Files, then the iTunes folder, and then choose the iTunes exe.
6. Add the exception, and then click OK in the window of the DEP.

Hope this helps, Kevin
