"iTunes was not properly installed . . ."

When itunes recently upgraded, I got this message when starting the application:
"Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs, you need to reinstall iTunes."
I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with the same result.
Any ideas?

Ok folks, try the deleting then installing of Quicktime 7.2 mentioned in previous posts. I, too, was at wits end. Uninstalling, reinstalling Itunes after this disastrous 7.5 update. This suggestion really works!! Thanks Rob for posting this suggestion. I opened Itunes and everything was there!! My library, playlists, etc. My sanity has returned!

For those of you running Vista x64 who say that the Gear drivers worked...did you install the Itanium drivers? I do not see any for 64-bit Vista.

This worked great for me too - seems to be the definitive Vista 64bit soluation for this issue.
