iTunes Failing to install 11.0.5

I have been trying to update the new version of iTunes to my iMac - Snow Leopard version 10.6.8. using the software update, and it failed to install any update full stop!

There is no error message presented when I click 'Show Error'

I used Disk Utility to verify the disk and then to fix any errors. I tried again with no luck.
I have gone through tutorials to completely remove the old version of iTunes to install the new one. Again, no luck.

I tried to install an older version of iTunes again, the also didn't work
I tried installing the install from another hard drive/flash drive

So, I'm at a bit of a loose end in terms of sorting this **** problem out! SOS!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Disk Utility will report errors if there any to be repaired, or it will say: The HD appears to be ok

Try one more time just in case.

Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities

Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.

Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)

If DU reports errors, start up from your Mac install disc to make repairs.

Instructions here > Mac OS X 10.6: Reinstalling Mac OS X

And make sure there's enough free space on the disk. Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop then click Get Info. You'll see Capacity & Available

Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

You can also view that information from the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
