I get error messages on windows 11 everytime I try to install iTunes on windows 11. Error message reads "cannot install iTunes previous version has been installed" This is false there is NO OTHER VERSION on the PC. Itunes is incompatible with Windows 11.

As far as I know, that is not the case.
If your computer shows you a message saying that iTunes is already installed on your computer, then presumably, it is. Why do you think that your computer would lie to you?
Do you have more than one Windows user account on your computer? That is, do you have a separate sign-into-Windows on your computer, with its own desktop appearance, that you use, or does anyone else use your computer who has their own Windows user account (with it's own desktop appearance)? If so, is iTunes installed on the other user account? I'm not referring to accounts with Apple, or anyone else, this is purely two accounts on your computer. This is an important question, please let us know the answer.
If your computer does not have more than one Windows user account, then using the screenshot below as your guide, check your Windows Start menu (1.) to see if there is an iTunes folder entry (2.).
If there is an entry for iTunes (3.) on the Strat menu, tap it to expand the entry which will reveal an About iTunes document and the programme icon. Tapping that icon will start iTunes:
If all else fails, you can look:

It makes no difference. The fact is that the message is there and as a consequence, your computer will not install the item that you are trying to add now.
Have you actually looked at the Start Menu on each user account (as I suggested) and if you did, what did you find? Comparing my screenshots, is there - or is there not, a folder named iTunes (2.), which expands to reveal the Open iTunes entry (3.) on either of there user accounts? You have to check both accounts.
Have you also looked in:
Also note, that if you installed, the Music App, TV App or Devices App preview versions at some point from the Microsoft Store, iTunes will not work or install.
It seems that your mind is already made up, regardless of what I say, or suggest.
For example, I did ask, twice, that you check specific things in order to try and determine where iTunes might be hiding, but you have chosen not to tell us whether you did check or, if you did check, what the results are.
My windows pc has 2 users and itunes has been Uninstalled in both users and I still get the same error message when I try to install iTunes. The computer isn't lying there is a glitch in iTunes
I've had 3 PC Techs check every inch of the PC and Itunes does not work on Windows 11.
