Agree with arridel's comment. Apple need to be fixing this. My time is too valuable to be chasing down solutions just to update to the latest version of iTunes

After trying multiple solutions I found this in the discussion forums and it worked for me:

What then happens to all the .dll files moved to the desktop? Should they then get deleted once iTunes has been successfully reinstalled?

Yes... See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
