Q: Restoring iTunes after Time Machine Recovery of El Capitan OS

So, I installed El Capitan.  And Safari didn't work...so I did the TM Recovery to previous OS (10.11.5).  Fixed my Safari problem but no iTunes (This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. (-42037)), can't delete iTunes icon, and can't reinstall iTunes. 

I used the Time Machine "Recover Everything"...but it doesn't give me a 100% snapshot/restored machine...just a restored earlier OS.  Ideas?

Maybe it's just me, but I thought a recover everything using TM would give me a "duplicate" machine from the past i.e. fully functional.

Thanks in advance!  Cheers
