The itunes.exe file is missing after an update!!!!!!!!!!!

I just updated my itunes because I bought an ipad and in order to update my ipad I need to have installed the new iTunes 10.1

I was concern of updating it, because ALWAYS something fails!

My system is Windows Xp, and after updating itunes it comes a dialog window saying:
Windows is searching for iTunes.exe. To locate
the file yourself, click Browse.

I click Browse and on the new itunes directory the file is missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dell inspiron, Windows XP

This worked for me! However, for awhile I was worried that I had a serious virus b/c I did not have Add or Remove Programs in my Control Panel. Upon further research, I found out that it has been changed to "Programs and Features." So look under that if you need to repair iTunes or any other program. Thanks so much

Hi Folks on this thread,

I am thankful to folks like Noir for helping and dissemanating useful information and knowledge. But there are always folks that will still kick you instead of being thankfu ( like on of the users last year)

In my case I just installed Itunes 10.5 on a windows 7 enterprise and after complete successful install the itunes.exe is missing. ( I get a message saying "find the itunes.exe file")

I tried the repair and it still does not get fixed. Is there any new inforamtion I am missing?

It being my work computer, I do have admin access, but i guess it might be something more than that.

If possible, can anyone relate and give me some tips. thanks so much.

My Safari, iTunes, and Quicktime were repaired when I went to (on a PC) Control Panel- Programs- iTunes-Repair-back-quicktime-repair-back-safari-repair. It fixed the error.
