I had the same problem it was saying cannot open itues itl as it was created by a newer version, even though i hadnt touched it, so i downloaded the very lastest version of itunes, did not uninstall the old version and it seemed to work, did not lose anything in my music libary.

I had this problem when upgrading the iTunes software! the solution was to rename "library.itl" to library.old and then start iTunes.

Easy, just go to your Music folder and find itunes folder there, where will be

*1 xml file which you must move somewhere else
*you can delete files from 'previous library folder
*go back and put itunes library file in 'previous library' folder and boot itunes

I have a mac but i think I found the solution for the people who still could not get this to work. Simply, there are now two itunes folders. I found mine under music, and library. Go into both. select all the songs you wanna keep and put them in a seperate folder on you desktop. Then delete both itunes folders. Now re-download the same itunes you were using and it should work. Hope this is helpful.

This worked for me also, I have Windows 7 so it took me a bit to figure it out. But all I did was rename the old Itunes Library file and the retried to launch the application and it totally worked. Thank you!
