Can anyone help me install i tunes

Question

I got an ipod in feb this year and installed itunes with no problem. Then they released a new version (7?) and since then it has not worked and with the new version 8 I thought it may work but no luck.
Anyone out there know what I can try? It downloads all o.k and then when I click to open the program windows brings up a message saying there is an error and they are searching for a soloution but then it says it can't find one so it's closing down the program????

If you have any of the list of items I gave, they must be uninstalled.
That is:ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter
These are known to be big trouble for Quicktime.
Once you have removed any of the problem items that I listed, go on with the following which is a method for removal of iTunes and related programs followed by cleanup of any that didn't uninstall properly.
== uninstall with cleanup ==
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup

Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
