I had the same problem. I am running iTunes 11.0.0.163 on Windows 7 64bit. Thanks for all who've posted suggestions. This is what I did and it fixed the problem:
1) closed iTunes
2) configured iTunes to Run as Administrator
3) unplugged the iPhone from USB
4) plugged iPhone into USB
Windows automatically launched iTunes.
The phone now syncs fine.
