Accidentally Deleted Bonjour

I accidentally deleted Bonjour from my program list in my control panel and have been trying to redownload it so my iTunes will stop crashing and sync my iPod nano but all I'm finding is the Bonjour Print Services for Windows. Can anyone give me any suggestions for what I should do?

Hmmm.

We'll try a "standalone" installation of Bonjour, sui. (It may not install, but at least we'll have a better idea of what the problem is, based on any error messages we might get.)

Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:

http://www.rarlab.com/

Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").

Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.

Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes behave properly now?

If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
