Cannot install itunes 7.7 with Vista due to bonjour service issues

(I do have itunes version 7.6.2.9 working fine with no issues on vista)Cannot install itunes 7.7 becoz vista doesnt let bonjour service to run, While trying to start the Bonjour service from the Windows Services console gives an other error: "Windows could not start the Bonjour service on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -65549." Is there any way I can get Bonjour to install and run as a service? tried switching off windows defender and Norton Internet security along with norton firewall too, still it doesnt let me install ,even tried downloading the windows version of bonjour but it too doesnt get installed as the service cannot start

Apple offer this advice which I guess is not much help to you as you have Norton:

I wonder if it is worth looking in the your firewall configuration>>Programs and deleting any entry for Bonjour - in the hope that you will be prompted to allow it or not when you do the install, or maybe adding it back with permit all.

But someone came up with another possible solution at the end of this thread:
