There is a forum for ITunes.

They reference the section "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" here.

Using an external search engine to search that forum, that error message
has been around since 2007.

I've never used the "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility". Perhaps someone
else can comment on how dangerous it is.
