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?

Itunes update won't install error writing to file

LabView install: error writing to file .../cviengerror.ver

Hello,
I'm trying to install LabView and I keep stumbling on this error: "Error writing to file: C:\Windows\system32\cvrite\bin\English\cviengerror.ver"
I've tried reinstalling the application a few times while running the installer as an admin but to no avail. I've checked that the directory is created and I was able to add new files to it and delete them so I don't think this is a permition problem. I'm thinking the PC needs a third party software updated but I have no clue which one it is. Does anybody have an idea on how to proceed?
Thanks

HI!
I am Collin de Wit, an Application Engineer at National Instruments. If I undertsand correctly you are trying to install LabVIEW 2014 (64 bit) and during that installation you are receiving this error?
There are at this moment three things we can verify:
- Is there any anti virus software turned one which might block this feature during installation?
- Are you running the installer as Admin or are you logged in as an Admin? (This is a difference for windows)
- Is this a clean install, or are there older versions or other versions of LabVIEW installed on this computer?
Hope to hear from you to continue troubleshooting with you!
Best regards,
Collin de Wit

Cannot Install "Error writing to file:..."

Hello,
I have been using iTunes and Quicktime for quite sometime now. i recently attempted to upgrade to the latest version and received this error:
Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeVR.Resources\sa.lproj\QuickTimeVRLocalized.qt r. Verify that you have access to that directory.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime as well as conducted several virus and spyware tests with no luck.
This is quite frustrating as I cannot install nor use iTunes so I have no way of syncing my iPod.
Thank you for any suggetions.

Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeVR.Resources\sa.lproj\QuickTimeVRLocalized.qt r. Verify that you have access to that directory.
That sort of message citing that sort of program file (in this case it looks like it might be a file in your Spanish language resources) is usually caused by that file being damaged in some way.
The damage is often caused by disk damage near the file. So let's try running a chkdsk over the C drive:

Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, does an itunes install go through properly afterwards?

Problem installing 7.6.2.9 - Error writing to file

I've been using iTunes on this particular windows xp pro box since iTunes became available and have never had a problem until I allowed the upgrade.
I am getting the following error dialog during the "copying files" portion of the install:
"Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\etc\zoneinfo\Africa\Abidan. Verify that you have access to that directory."
I have spent quite a bit of time trying to figure this one out. I've scanned for viruses, I've run CHKDSK, I've killed all non essential processes, etc. but continue to get this error message each time I attempt an install.
I've read through the other posts that were similar but wondered if anyone else has seen this particular problem and been able to overcome the error. I know I could do a clean install, but have so much time invested in this current OS build that I'd rather spend some time trying to solve this. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

I can't see the file (with hidden files turned on) unless I boot from another partition. Then I can see it, delete it, or whatever I want to do, but once I go back in and do a reinstall, I get the same problem. I've even tried to use Process Manager to try to figure it out, but so far nothing...
It really felt like a disk problem but chkdsk reports nothing and I've had no other problems except this.

ITunes won't install. Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft

iTunes won't install.
Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft
Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this?

I am the administrator, so this can't be a rights problem. The error message says "error writing to file c:\program files\apple software update\softwareupdate.exe. 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, as per 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?

Error1304. Error writing to file while trying to install Reader 8.1.2

I get the following messages when trying to install Adobe Reader 8.1.2 for website.

I have unistalled previous reader, restarting system then tried once again to install and still get the same error message.
What do I need to do? It is unfortunate that many people are having issue of one kind or another downloading and installing the reader.
Please help for I need this for working purposes.
Carol

Check whether the folder c:\Program files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader
exists. Does it exist?
If so, look whether the file acrord32.exe exists in that folder. Does
it exist? If so, try and delete it. Can you?
If it doesn't exist. Try and create a file by that name. Can you?
In each case, if you get an error message, what is it?

Error 1310.Error writing to file for CS2 install on Win7 for Adobe 7 Pro

I have Adobe 7 Pro that needs to be installed on a Win7 machine that is not supported by Adobe. They provide a CS2 version with a new serial number for replacement of my product since my product cannot be activated anymore.
When I try to install it, I get the following error after the install process has started.

Any help on getting thru this?

Hi shooter-1971,
Acrobat 7 is not supported on windows 7.
But you might want to refer to the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the KB Doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-1310-error-writing-file.html
Error 1310 is usually related to insufficient permissions on the folder. Please try enabling the hidden Admin account on Windows 7 and try installing the software and check.

Install Problem - Error Writing to file

I am getting the following error when I try to Install the demo of 3.4.1: Error 1304. Error writing to file C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Cameraraw\CameraPRofiles\Camera\Nikon d40X\Nikon D40X Camera D2X Mode 2.dcp. Verify that you have access to that directory.
I though I changed access but it will not access when I hit Retry. Any suggestions? Thanks Alan.

Beat: I ran as Administrator and tried downloading a second program Same thing. Then I check I I saw the file was Hidden so I inchecke
d that. Same thing. Then I checked the Nikon D40X folder and tried to explore it. I got a message that the files were corrupted
. So apparently LR3 couldn't get in there. SO I tried to delete that file. No good.
So now what? What created that file in the first place? Maybe I have to re-install that program. Ignoring it as an option doesn't work. It just ends the installatiopn of LR3.
Any suggestions?

Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? (There's been a few reports in recent times of Kaspersky interfering with iTunes installs, with that message being produced.)
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 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 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.
