You probably went about uninstalling iTunes wrong, then, that first time around, and that's what's causing the problem. Did you use the uninstaller? Or did you just go and delete the folders themselves?

Usually the uninstaller removes the folders that the program needs to function during the uninstall process. By removing them before using the uninstaller you are basically taking away the path the uninstaller needs. It looks for the items to delete and if it can't find them, then it gets confused and stops with the error.
The uninstaller also removes the registry notations that iTunes used so they aren't cluttering things up.

Gist of post: Always run the uninstaller first. If there are folders left after that then it is usually ok to delete them as long as you know another program is not using them.
