Itunes - Windows 7 Intallation issue ...

I upgraded to Windows 7 from XP last night. Becasue there is no direct upgrade from Win XP to Win 7 I did a new fresh install starting with a new hard drive. The install went fine until I went to install Itunes. Downloaded the latest Itunes and started the install. A good way into the install, I'm getting the following error message:

"An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorarchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT:0x800736FD."

Following this message, the installer reverses the installation process and after a 5-10 minute wait, a screen comes up that says the Itunes installation was complete. Obviously it wasn't but that is what the message says. When you close out of that message, Itunes tries to start and this message pops up:

"Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall itunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2"

I have uninstalled and retried the installation process multiple times with the exact same result. I have downloaded the installation file from the iTunes website 3 different times and retried each one to make sure that I didn't have a problem with the installation file.

iTunes and Quicktime both show up in the program list but when you click to open them the Application support error message appears.

When looking at the registry Bonjour, iPod, iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Mobile Device Support, and CoreFP all have entries.

Does anybody have any idea on what is going on here? This is getting really frustrating.
