Goodreader USB, which do you suddenly fail on me?

I use GoodReader USB (first the original version, and then the 2.30 which supports GoodReader 4) to copy files to GoodReader app on my iPad 3 and iPad Air 2.  But today, when I launched GoodReader USB on my Windows 8.1 desktop, I got this error saying "Fatal Error: iTunes Not Installed".  I was like, errr!?  Cause the whole thing was still working yesterday.

And no matter what I did, I couldn't get the problem resolved.  I tried installed older version of iTunes but I wasn't able to complete the installation.  I tried reboot and problem still exist.

Eventually I give up, and simply use GoodReader's SMB feature to load the file.  It's slower, but at least it works consistently.

Hopefully someday I will have time to finish a solution.
