Can't uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support inorder to connect ipod touch

Ok so I am trying to connect my Ipod touch. looks like I'm not the only one having issues. So here it goes: First of all the main problem is my iTunes doesn't see my ipod. I get a message telling me that : "iTunes required a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support." I've read all the other threads about this problem, So I tried uninstalling itunes and Apple Mobile Device Support, but my problem is that Apple Mobile Device Support wont uninstall!!!! I go to programs and features and uninstall, it goes through all the motions but doesn't go away! I restart and it's still there. So first I need to know how to get it uninstalled. If I try to repair it, it say's "fatal error during installation." So what do I do from here???
