Is there a way to re-install iTunes on Windows 11 without losing playlists?

I bought a new computer (Windows 11). When I downloaded and installed iTunes, I lost my playlists. I uninstalled, then re-installed. Now I get an error message: "The iTunes Library.itl file is newer than the installed version", and iTunes will not open. How do I get the program installed with my playlists intact?
