Cannot install itunes on windows 7: Error writing to file C:\Program Files(x86)\itunes\mozilla plugins\npitunes.dll

Unable to install itunes on windows 7. Gives message Error writing to file C:\Program Files(x86)\itunes\mozilla plugins\npitunes.dll and then starts rolling back.

If you uninstall your Firefox, and then try the install again, does the iTunes install go through? (If it does, reinstall your Firefox.)

  • Error writing to file: c:\Program Files\iTunes\Mozilla Plugins\npitunes.dll

    When trying to upgrade to the current version of iTunes (7.5), I get this error:
    Error writing to file: c:\Program Files\iTunes\Mozilla Plugins\npitunes.dll
    The problem is caused on my computer by the corporate anti-virus, which blocks writing to any directory named "mozilla*". It is a rule in the registry that I can't change. I have uninstalled Firefox (which no longer runs on this computer due to restrictions), hoping that the iTunes installer would not bother to write files for an unsupported browser--no luck. Any tips here?
    Unfortunately, I also uninstalled iTunes 7.3, hoping that a clean install would work--no luck.
    I'd be happy if I could reinstall iTunes 7.3. Does Apple make older versions of iTunes available for download? I haven't been able to find them.
    Thanks.

    You'll get various earlier versions of iTunes including 7.3 here: Old iTunes for Windows

    Hi the_mad_movies,
    It seems like this article will be the best option for addressing this issue:

  • C:/Program Files/Mozilla Plugin/npitunes.dll error

    HI there,
    I have
     been trying to install itunes 10.5 on a Windows 7 PC. I keep on getting the following error: Error writing to file C:/Program Files/Mozilla Plugings/npitunes.dll. Please confirm that you have access to the directory. Hit retry or cancel. When I hit retry it keeps on giving me the same error. When I hit cancel, it rolls back the complete installation and I cannot get any further then that. 
    I have since tried the following:
    Run the installation as an administator;
    Deleted the Mozilla Plugin Directory and then hit retry - (it just gave another error)
    Disabled the on-scan Mcafee Virus and Anti-spyware.
    Have downloaded a compatible Windows 7 version of itunes and tried installing
    None of the above helped...
    At this stage, the
     IPod is completely useless. 
    PLEASE assist.
    Thanks

  • Trouble installing iTunes on Windows 8 - Error writing to file

    Hey all,
    Trying to install iTunes on my computer, tried installing it on two seperate hard drives it worked on neither (one was brand new, the other is a month old SSD). The error I get is:
    http://i45.tinypic.com/727o9f.png
    I've tried uninstalling all apple products, deleting all folders to do with apple, installing as admin, taking ownerships of the files etc. Nothing works. Any ideas why?
    Cheers

    Hmmmm.
    Any better luck if you try a manual uninstall of the GEAR drivers prior to the iTunes install?
    For a link to instructions, see solution 3 from the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    (Fingers crossed they've got Windows 8 instructions up now.)

    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
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    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?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • I can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

    i can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

    I've been having the same issues for the past year and a half. I've spent 6-8months trying to figure it out. Went to various Itunes stores with pictures on my Iphone per each step so I could relay all information that I'd come across and the personnel were less than helpful, after conversations that would sometimes last an hour between myself, employees and managers they always came back to "simply uninstall then reinstall" when I told them for the thousanth time that I've done that multiple times and my errors are happening while trying to reinstall it they act stumped and say "well then I'm not sure, I'll give you a call if I figure it out" and disappear. I've been very disatisfied at the lack of support from Apple and if Android to piece together a reletively reliable phone I'd switch to them in a heartbeat. I'll follow this question incase someone can answer this, but I don't have much faith.
    BTW, wifey has Windows 7 running on the laptop and my phone syncs just fine to that and no trouble with itunes, just mine (desktop).

  • 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.
