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
