Itunes 1.11 windows 8 install problems, itunes 11.1 windows 8 install problems

Question

I am running Windows 8 on a Dell XPS16 laptop and was using iTunes v 10 something.  When upgrading my iPhone 4S to IOS7 while connected to iTunes running on my PC, the upgrade indicated that I needed to upgrade my iTunes to v11.1 something (the latest version).  I proceeded to do this and the upgrade appeared to work OK.  However, when attempting to restart iTunes (after a reboot) all that happened was that the iTunes Software License Agreement window opened on my PC.  There are no buttons on the window, even after scrolling all the way to the bottom, and no option but to close the window.  So my current state is that I now no longer have a working iTunes on my PC.
I have tried many of the suggestions made to others who were also having problems with this upgrade.  Each time I downloaded, saved, ran or re-ran an upgrade, the install appeared to work fine and finished normally.  Each time the installation populates the \Program Files (X86)\iTunes folders and the properties of the iTunes.exe are as follows:
I thought this was to be a Windows 64 bit upgrade so I'm not sure why it gets put in "...\Program Files (X86)" as opposed to "...\Program Files". 
I have tried all of the following and each time I just get the same license agreement window shown previously:
1.  Followed an iTunes support link that indicated how to remove and cleanup all Apple software and then re-install iTunes by downloading it and using Run As Administrator to run the downloaded file iTunes64Setup.exe.
2.  Tried to troubleshoot the .exe using the properties | compatibility | Run Compatibility Troubleshooter option - no luck.
3. Numerous cycles of download and save the update, uninstall the old, install the new, install/repair the existing, etc.
Note that about a month ago, I allowed iTunes to upgrade itself to version 11.1... and the same thing happened as described above.  I spent many hours trying to resolve the issue and finally had to go back to ITunes 10 something.  I have, since that time, ignored any iTunes requests to upgrade but in a weak moment when upgrading my phone, I lost my head and let the upgrade proceed!  Hopefully someone has a solution to getting the Windows 8 64 bit upgrade working.
Any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks, Henry.
