After searching solution I found that the REQUIRED PROGRAM is "Apple Software Update" which cannot be found/run during the process. Almost solutions are to "Repair" the "Apple Software Update" program, but somehow this program was uninstalled/removed so it cannot help and you cannot find this program to download & install.
Solution:
- Uninstall/Remove current QuickTime program
- Download new QuickTime installation package from Apple - Support - Downloads
- Re-install QuickTime you will also get the Apple Software Update again.
Now you can install/update iTunes successfully.
