AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found

Story
Have you ever run into this issue before?  I have, twice now!  It seems to happen every time I install, or reinstall 'apple itunes'.

Here's the error message box I get after I've installed/reinstalled 'apple itunes' software.

Message Window Title: AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found
Description: The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll

What a horrible message this is.  It doesn't even tell us what folder it is look for the file in.

Debugging
1. I did a google search for the exact message, and the first result wasn't helpful at all
2. I tried to remember what I did last time to fix this, and I actually remembered.  It was a long time ago, so I can't remember the source, so I'll just include the solution.


Solution
1. To fix this issue, you have to copy SQLite3.dll from one apple program folder to another.  SQLite3.dll should be on your computer, just not in the folder that the Apple Sync Notifier is looking.

Copy file:

SQLite3.dll

from

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\
* this is where I found the SQLite3.dll file.
* If you can't find it in this folder, do a search in the following path to find the file:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\

to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\
* this is where I found the "AppleSyncNotifier.exe" file
* again, if you don't see the .exe file in this folder, search for it in the folder
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
and then copy the SQLite3.dll file to this folder

2. Reboot your computer, and the error message should be gone

Conclusion/Comments
Apple really needs to fix that installer of theirs, but until they do, this should fix your issue.
