iTunes 7.2: "Please wait while Windows configures iTunes" on every startup

I am running into the some issue. With all of the problems everyone else is running into with the 7.2 install - I am happy that this is all I have going on - but it is getting irrating. EVERY time I start iTunes I get the windows installer starting with the "please wait while Windows configures iTunes."
I have uninstalled, used a reg cleaner, reinstalled with 7.2.0.35. QT runs without issues. I am not sure where to go from here.
When I ran the install - i had the windows installer create a log. I found the following error in it:
Action start 13:15:02: AppSearch.
Info 1402. Could not open key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pcast. System error 5. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
Action ended 13:15:02: AppSearch. Return value 1.
I ran the installer as Administrator so permissions should have been covered.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem, here's how i fixed it:
go to start menu --> run
type regedit, press enter
go to computer/hkey_classes_root/
find pcast and right click it
click permissions
during the course of this you may get a message saying you cant change anything, but you can change who can change things. click ok on it.
click advanced, then owner tab
change the owner from administrator to whatever name you are using
click ok twice to get out of the pop-ups completely
right click pcast again
click permissions
click OWNER RIGHTS
by full control and read click the allow boxes.
click ok
all set!

I’ve tried the indicated solution and it didn’t work. I gave full permissions for Administrators, my user (which is an Administrator) and Everyone, for every single key and sub-key. It didn’t work.
Then, I deleted the .pcast. When I opened iTunes again it came back without the permissions again.
How long it will take for Apple’s programmers to correct this garbage? I’ve read several forums where people reformatted their computers to make it work again. This is simply unbelievable! I’m using the last version (7.4.2.4). I’ve found people complaining since version 7.2.x.
Ah! I forgot. Of course, the problem is the Windows Vista.

This sounds like a reasonable solution but as is often the case....it didn't work for me. Thanks for the tip.
If anyone else has any ideas on this annoying little thing please chime in.
Thanks

Wow good to see i'm not the only person with this problem. The .pcast thing works for a bit but there are many other registry keys with a problem.
I posted a longer post about this same issue and it has never been resolved. Please someone at apple take a look at this bug, it's freakin' annoying...
