I am having the same problem. Started when windows 7 PC hung during iPhone synch/update. iTunes and safari will no longer open with two errors which are shown above. Apple updater cannot repair safari and "rolls back" install attempts. Tried uninstalling all apple software, and related apple folders with no luck. Cleaned registry, tried ms config suggestion, completed apple troubleshooting, no luck. I was told it is a Microsoft issue. My PC won't install updates now either. Incredibly frustrating, and no iOS 5.

I was able to fix mine after several attempts at other "fixes". Turns out several registry errors existed, missing Dll. Files and missing extensions. Windows update would not install updates either. I ran windows hot fix which fixed my update errors for windows update, then downloaded CCCLEANER from cnet.com. Clean the registry several times with CCCLEANER. Uninstalled everything Apple on my PC. Updated windows with windows update, then downloaded fresh copies of safari and iTunes. Both installed without those previous errors. This worked, good luck!
