Itunes 10.6 and 10.7 crash after installing icloud control panel

Question

I recently upgraded itunes 10.6 to 10.7 on my windows home server 2011 computer and also installed iCloud control panel 2.0.  After the upgrade itunes crashes within a few seconds of starting.  I can see the status bar saying that itunes is accessing the store and then the itunes window goes away.  I tried removing the icloud control panel, but itunes still crashes.  I completely removed itunes and all related components and then reinstalled 10.6.  At this point itunes works again so I tried reinstalling the iCloud control panel and not upgrading itunes, but itunes again crashes.  So, it seems that regardless of the itunes version I can't run itunes and iCloud on windows home server 2011.  Any ideas on a solution?

An update to my earlier post.  I just upgraded to itunes 10.7 and icontrol panel 2.0 again, but before upgrading I turned off automatic downloads in the store preferences.  I was able to launch itunes and even click on the store without itunes crashing until I launched the icloud control panel and logged in.  Now if I click on the store in itunes it crashes.  I tried logging out of icloud, but it still crashes, but only when i click on the itunes store.  The error I see in windows event viewer is below.  I've seen this error referenced in other posts, but have not found a solution yet.  At least itunes is partially functional now.
