"iTunes 64-bit Installer" iTunes does not work on Windows 7 64bit

I have tried installing, uninstalling, reinstalling iTunes 11.0.1.12 multiple times.

I download from: http://apple.com/itunes/download/ (Yes, it shows it being the 64 bit version)

Each time, iTunes either will not launch or locks up once it does.

I see in the notes on the page in the link above that my version of Windows (Windows 7 64bit) requires "iTunes 64-bit installer" yet I can NOT find the download for this "installer" anywhere. Is it supposed to be imbedded/included in the iTunes 11.0.1.12 download?

Everytime I search Apple support for this, it just gives me another version of iTunes to download.

So I tried downloading an older 64 bit version of iTunes. The problem there is, it tells me that I alrady have a newer version, after i already removed it, that already exists, so it won't let me use this version.

PLEASE HELP!!! My iPod classic is now nothing more than a paperweight!
