Can't open iTunes or reinstall because of corrupt file ituneslocalized.qtr

Question

All of a sudden I am having issues with iTunes. I couldn't open up the program. I would get an error message while it was starting to load. It says "error writing to c:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunesResources\nb.lproj\iTunesLocalized.qtr Verify that you have access to that directory." I do. I am in the admin trying to open it up, like always before. So I decided to uninstall and then try to reinstall. It did uninstall but now when I try to reinstall I get the same msg. I go to the folder containing the file and try to delete it. I get the error message "Cannot delete iTunesLocalized: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." I tried renaming, moving, replacing it with the same file that I sent over from another computer, all of which still gives me the same error message. I tried using Unlocker and it does not find any unlocking handle for me to unlock so I can delete. I ran chkdsk and it seems to do nothing. I tried deleting the file in DOS and still doesn't work. I ran my antivirus (avast) in safemode and still nothing helped. Whats the deal with this file?????

This link tells you how to run a disk check.

It is best to do it from My Computer.
Right click on the c: drive and select properties>>Tools>>error checking>>Check now. Tick all the boxes. It start after you restart you computer and takes a while so do it when you don't need your computer.
On renaming, I was wondering about renaming something like:
c:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesResources
Rather than the iTunes folder.
But only if the scan doesn't work. It does sound like some kind of filing system corruption problem.
