Invalid Win32 application error message while downloading itunes 10.5

This seems a very popular topic of discussion and I am now feeling the frustration of many. I am trying to download itunes 10.5 to use my new iphone but I can only get so far then I receive this message

c:\users\wynne\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\temporary internet files\content.IES\KDF6805B\itunessetup[1].exe is not a valid Win32 application

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit (I think?)

Can anyone out there help? Please

Windows Vista
