Update from itunes 9.1 to 9.2 fail, can't start bonjour service, window 7.

I am on windows 7
I try to update from itune 9.1 to 9.2 with the update tool.
When the install starts, after few steps, it trys to start the bonjour service and it fails.
How do I solve this problem?

Same problems here. Got an older itunes installed to activate my new iphone 3gs. Activated and updated the iphone's OS. After the update the iphone requires itunes 9.2 however.
Tried installing 9.2. Bonjour service cannot start, install rolls back.
(whenever i refer to bonjour "dying", i mean it cannot be started due to priviledges missing - i'm the admin lol - or service specific error 6 (0x6) in event viewer)
Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes/quicktime/bonjour several times. Got bonjour working again a few times. During 9.2 installation however, it always dies.
Tried the reloading thing (about 20 times), no go.
Tried installing Airport 5.5.1 for windows which supposedly has a better bonjour installation. Seemed to work for bonjour. However, upon installation of itunes 9.2 bonjour still dies and the install rolls back.
Tried registry changes to grant bonjour full permissions.
Tried giving the bonjour service itself administrator rights to see if i could manually start the service, no go (could not log on).
During all this i have also pilfered with windows firewall (setting exceptions or shutting it off completely), windows defender turned off, uninstalled AV and similar completely, used msconfig to make startups without anything but the itunes/quicktime/bonjour specifics, and still no go.
I'm at my wits end and tired of searching for a solution. Heeeelp!
