Trouble with updated iTunes 7

Today I updated iTunes for Windows Vista to version 7.6.1.9. Upon completion iTunes crashed and did not start again. The error message I received was:

iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration

This was fixed by uninstalling QuickTime, then reinstalling it from a stand-alone installation (not the one with iTunes bundled in). See Apple’s full support article on the problem.
