Here is a set of instructions that I have successfully used.

Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features:

Uninstall the following in order as shown:

iTunes
Quick Time
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support

Restart the computer.

Optionally remove the folder:

C:\Users\jdhurst\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes

Now (if you wish) install the latest version of iTunes

Thanks for your reply, John.  I tried what you suggested in the order you indicated.  Now I have eight error dialog boxes upon bootup that I must OK before I get to my Win 7 desktop.  Before this exercise, I had two error messages.  This whole error mess started when I installed the iCloud software last month.   Here are the dialog error messages in the order I receive them:

#1
---------------------------
iCloudServices.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because icudt49.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling

the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

#2
---------------------------
ubd.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because icudt49.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling

the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

#3
---------------------------
ApplePhotoStreams.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because icudt49.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling

the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

#4
---------------------------
APSDaemon.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because icudt49.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling

Any assistance you have on this would be greatly appreciated.
