Setting up iTunes on Windows Vista 64-bit

Question

Make this a sticky please, I dont want to type it twice
In the 64-bit versions of Windows there are two locations for programs to be stored by default.
Program Files - All the 64-bit applications that can run with out any assistance from the 32-bit emulator.
Program Files (x86) - All the 32-bit applications that need the 32-bit emulator to help then run under the 64-bit versions Windows.
Problem
When installing the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3) on Windows Vista 64-bit the install of the QuickTime software completes successfully, however when the iTunes software tries to install the application it produces an error message saying that it cannot find the QuickTime installation.
This is happening because QuickTime software is getting installed in the Program Files (x86) since it is not a 64-bit application. And the iTunes application specifically looks for it in the Program Files directory. I don’t know why the Apple iTunes programmers thought hard coding a path was a good idea, because they definitely could have looked up the install directory in the Windows Registry. As every programmer knows and has been slapped on the wrist by a more experienced programmer you should never hard code possible variations to your program. Especially if it is a hard drive path, because a non-standard install of QuickTime would lead to the same problem.
Solution
Basically the solution is very easy and involves a new feature in Windows Vista called a symbolic link.
1) Open up the Command Prompt as an Administrator (Go to All Programs > Accessories and Right Click on Command Prompt and then choose Run as administrator)
2) Create a QuickTime folder in both Program Files (x86)
mkdir "c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime"
3) Now we create a symbolic link to the Program Files directory
mklink /d "c:\Program Files\QuickTime" "c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime"
4) Now install iTunes as you normally would by double clicking on the install program.

Answer 1

If that didnt work try this below:
1) Open up the Command Prompt as an Administrator (Go to All Programs > Accessories and Right Click on Command Prompt and then choose Run as administrator)
2) Type cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64
3) Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll (This registers VB Script with your computer.)
4) Now install iTunes as you normally would by double clicking on the install program and wait for iTunes to finish installing.
5) Type regsvr32 \u vbscript.dll (This unregisters VB Script with your computer.)
THIS ONE COMES WITH A WARNING
TRY BOTH OF THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK
AND some thing below to consider about this second step, not the first post
To enabled, VB Script a scripting language that has been responsible for more trojan and worms floating around the internet than any other on the face of this earth. All in order to install one of the earths most popular programs to get our daily audio fix. So we have to disable security measures built in to protect the operating system from malicious code and leave our selves wide open.This would be the equivalent to Microsoft telling Mac People to disable buffer overflow protection in order to install Microsoft Office for the Mac.
