HT5654 when I go to my Itunes update I am unable to open because of the message MSVCR80 is missing...which is why I am doing the research...to discover how to recover the missing file.

I keep getting the familiar message "MSVCR80  file is missing...I have read that the most recent update of I-tunes around January had a compatibility issue with Windows 7.  Consequently the updates did not load properly.  I am unable to open my I-Tunes Updates because of this stated file missing.  Like a dog chasing its own tail.     I have seen several suggestions including copying my I-Tunes tunes and totally dumping I-Tunes and all related files then downloading it as new. I also read that I may cause other programs to have issues  as some files are shared across programs/apps and so removing ALL of I-Tunes can cause loss of operation of other apps .  Can anyone verify the latter and assist with the initial problem of getting rid of the message regarding MSVCR80 with a good and lasting fix?
