ITunes 10.7 not downloading!

Question

I have been trying to update my iPhone 4 to the recent iOS6 update via iTunes, but my iTunes requires update10.7 to download iOS6. I do not use iTunes on my computer (Windows 7) very often, so it was not suprising to me that I needed to preform a few updates. However, my suprise did come when I could not download iTunes 10.7. I have even gone under the Help tab under iTunes and manually searched for the update, but when it finds 10.7 and I go to download it, the box disappears and nothing happens. A bar appears for a split, saying that it is downloading, but quickly disappears. I know i could always update my iPhone 4 from its settings, but I will more than likely lose compatibility with my current iTunes on my computer if I needed to access it again (which I more than likely will).
I have tried abour ten times now, and in my frustration, I went to the internet to find a possible answer to this problem. Apparently, other people have been having issues with downloading iTunes updates (both a few previous updates and the current one available) but have not found a solution. Many have given up and re-downloaded iTunes entirely, or even gone through such lengths to get it done (hard-core technical magic), but I do not want to lose anything that I have now or go through such a process and or risk messing something up on my computer. Is there any solution that may fix this problem?

Update:
I re-downloaded iTunes completely and learned that iTunes will keep ALL of your content, music, pictures and information that you had on your previous iTunes and transfers it to whatever new installation of itself you put on your computer. In this process it also deletes whatever version you had previously, along with any shortcuts, and replaces them with the newest version. (Many people, when searching online, said that Apple had no official fix or solution to the iTunes updating issues, but I think the way iTunes replaces itself like this was made in case of such event, which would explain why I couldnt find any official processes to fix this).
All you need to do is go under iTunes on Apple's site and download it (even if you already have it) and it will just replace your old version. You will have to go through all of the downloading process (wizard) but it will be well worth it.
I suggest this to ANY and ALL who are having issues with updating thier iTunes or downoading the update, especially those who have updated their iPhones to iOS6 through their phone and not computer. I am pretty sure it will work on other versions of Windows or on a Mac, and hope this will help anyone else who is having this issue.
