Apple Application support is required to run iTunes

I just successfully installed the new Windows 8 on my desktop computer. Now as I was trying to install again my iTunes an error message occurred saying that I need to install apple application support. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and the same error keeps on showing. What do I need to do in order to properly run it again?

I can’t seem to continue with this error message.

Thanks.
