NOTE: iTunes version 11.1.4.62 or above is free from that issue.

When trying to access iTunes Store from iTunes installed on Windows 8.1 it crashes. Problem is that iTunes can’t find specific DLL which is used to display content of the store.

In order to fix problem cop: QTMovieWin.dll

from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support

to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes

and now you can access iTunes Store without any problems on Windows 8.1.
