My iTunes says this copy is corrupted or not installed correctly and I should reinstall iTunes. Will this wipe out my library
When I hit my iTunes icon I get an error message that says "this copy is corrupted or not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes".
So, my question is, if I reinstall iTunes will my music library be wiped out?
Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

when I attempt to access iTunes, I receive a message reading, "this copy of iTunes is corrupted or installed improperly, please reinstall iTunes," How do I do this and not lose my existing music library?
Hello, marty51.
I would start by removing iTunes and all of it's components in the order specified of this article. Your iTunes Media folder will not be affected.

Once uninstalled, download and install a new copy of iTunes.

I tried to install iTunes 10.6.1 for Windows (64 bit) and it says "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404). I have tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling and it still does not work. I then restored my computer to a week ago and tried to download and install the update and this came up again.
