Question about removing/reinstalling iTunes

I recently bought an external HD because iTunes was swamping my c drive. In migrating my iTunes folders/libraries over today, I obviously corrupted some files or screwed up, because I get error msgs galore and cannot open iTunes from either the new ext drive (H) or the C drive. It asks me if I want to repair or remove iTunes, but when I hit repair, it tells me files are missing and to reinstall.

MY QUESTION: if I remove all existing iTunes apps and reinstall, will I lose my entire iTunes music library? I just downloaded the latest vs of iTunes today, before all this foolishness occurred.

Too late to leave anything where it was... that's already been corrupted. My real question is if I completely remove the existing iTunes program and all its parts (or however it is worded when that window comes up) as opposed to "repair" which hasn't worked, am I going to lose the songs and the other audiobooks etc I've already purchased thru iTunes music store? I'm not talking UPGRADE, they are using the word REMOVE.
