Error writing to file when installing iTunes 10.

When I updated to iTunes 10 yesterday, it updated fine, but when I went to run it today, it had to configure. It was almost completed when I got the error "Error writing to file: C\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\ru.lproj\IPod touch License.rtf". I tried to access the file, but it says the file cannot be found.
I uninstalled iTunes, and went to re-install it, but at about the same time I get the exact same error.

Hi,
Did you guys finally find solution to the problem?
I have been trying to install Oracle 9.2.0.1 on redhat 8.0 box, for ages now. I get the following error first during install
Error in writing to file libclntsh.so.9.0
Then it is a series of errors, similar.
In the end there is the dreaded linking error... for the ins_rdbms.mk sdo_on
i just cant handle it.
What the hell is wrong?
I have done everything right as far as i know... any solutions?
cheers

Error writing to file when updating Itunes Windows 7

Error message: C\Program files (x86) Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources\clientdescription.plist MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DIRECTORY.
HELP!!!

I don't know where to go from this point, but I threw caution to the wind and double-clicked iTunes Windows Installer Package. It went to work until I got another error message: "Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\1279ed.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? I tend to identify that message with Kaspersky interfering with the install.
If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe (64-bit installer file) to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Any better luck with the security software shut down?

"Error writing to file" when installing Oracle9i

I am fairly new to Oracle and have not been able to install Oracle 9i on my Redhat 7.2 box. In three attempts to install I have encountered the same error at some point, usually early on 5% or 10% into the install.
The error is:
     "Error in writing to file /usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/olap/wrksht/wks.jar"
However, it has not happened on the same file each time. I have stopped the installation of that component, but it encounters the same error on other files. I have tried redownloading the oracle disks and reinstalling, but to no avail. I read on one posting that Oracle needs to have glib2.2(rather than glib1.2) installed, so I downloaded it and will be trying that later today. If anyone has encountered this error and knows how to solve it I would appreciate the help. Below I have listed my computer configuration and I have attached the portion of the install log that identifies the error that takes place.
     Thanks

Help please! error writing to file cannot download itunes...cant fix!

i really dont know what to do... i just got my computer a couple of months and something must have happened when i downloaded it the first time. i few times after using is i was having problems it said something about a corrupt file. So logically i thought to uninstall and then reinstal. but since then i have been dealing with this problem for a couple of weeks.
installation will go well for a while (a couple of minutes) then i will this error.
Error writing to file: C:\programfiles\commonfiles\apple\mobiledevicesupport\bin\AOSutils.dll
then its says please verify that you have access to that directory.
i have tried so many things and really dont know what to do. this cannot be manually deleted either.
any advice would be appreciated!

"Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Most commonly, it's caused by disk or file damage, J.
Let's first try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's Windows 7 instructions in the following document. Select both "automatically fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you choose to go about things). You should be prompted to schedule the scan to run on restart. That sort of scan of the C drive should take a long time ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan:
[How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)|http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Error writting to file - Cannot install iTunes. Help!

I hope someone can help me. I've tried, multiple times, to install the latest iTunes but I keep getting the following message:
+"Error writting to file: c:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\etc\zoneinfo\America\Monterrey. Verify that you have access to that file."+
Does anyone know what this means? I'm running Windows Vista. I originally had iTunes 7.3 but needed the upgrade for iPod Nano. I have uninstalled it and removed the Mobile Device Support and Quicktime to try and reinstall everything but nothing it working.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When you get this message you need to manually remove the Gear drivers before installing iTunes.

Error message Hresult:0x8007054f when installing itunes 10.

I am having trouble installing iTunes version 10. I keep receiving the error message Hresult:0x8007054f and I follow the process it recommends yet I seem to end up going round in circles. I have also read from previous answers to this problem on here that this error can effect your windows updater which it does and nothing i try seems to correct that issue either. Someone help please!

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

Error 1406 and 1402 When Installing iTunes

Each time I attempt to download the new version of iTunes, it says I have an error 1406 or 1402. I have received instructions previously for this problem because this has happened before, but now they are failing to work. These are the directions I have:
For install error code 1406 & 1402:
Try the following:
Start menu -> Run. Type in "regedit" (this takes you to the Registry Editor)
Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SOFTWARE inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading Classes. Click
Find the heading .cdda. Click
Find the heading OpenWithList. Click
Right-click on "OpenWithList" folder. Select Permissions. Select Add button. Select the Advanced button. Select "Find Now" button.
The "Find Now" button should list all of the users, Select the "Everyone" user. Hit OK. This closes this dialog. Hit OK in the dialog box now on top. This closes this dialog.
On the Permissions for OpenWithList box now on top, select "allow" checkbox in the "full control" row & hit OK.
Do the exact same thing for the OpenWithProgids folder. Close regedit and try the install again.
Are there any suggestions besides these directions that could possibly help me successfully download iTunes?

Well after I do all the steps it tells me to do, I try installing again, and the exact errors come up.
hi James!
okay, we'd better check explicitly on your administrative rights in your user account. head into your user accounts control panel to see. let's also try the Installshield tips and pointers:

7.0 won't install, error writing to file

Received the following 7.0 install error on Toshiba laptop with Win XP Tablet Ed.
Error writing to file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\iPodHelp.chm
Verify that you have access to that directory.
Hangs same place each install attempt and can't bypass or ignore, only cancel.
Any ideas welcome
Windows XP

for what it is worth, i believe that that means it is hanging up on resources relating to the french language version of the ipodhelp documentation in your itunes help menu.
try navigating to
C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\iPodHelp.chm
... and deleting that file.
does the install go through properly after doing that?

"Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
