Cannot update or reinstall iTunes - receiving access error message

Hello
I tried to install the most recent iTunes update the other night and received the below errow. I uninstalled and tried to reinstall and am still receiving the same error -
Error writing to C:\Program Files(x86)\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\fr.prj\printing Template\15.Media.PlainPaper.SS.xml. Verify you have access to that directory.
I am the administrator on my computer and none of the files are hidden, they dont appear to be read only either.
Please can anyone shed any light on what this could be?
Thanks in advance

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?

I have a PC computer and an i-phone 4S. I set up an i-tunes acct online w/ icloud. After a recent update my PC started receiving an error message on start up. It says "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found". It also says, " The procedure entry point smlTextreaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll". I click on OK and it moves on. It doesn't seem to affect my computer, but it's annoying. Any ideas on correcting this?

UPDATE - (Made a second post so it'd be clearer)
I uninstalled Office 2003, then iTunes, then all of the associated software (Mobile Device Support, Apple Update, Quicktime, EVERYTHING)
Reinstalled Office 2003, then Office 2003's Service Pack 3, then all Microsoft Updates for Office 2003. Then I configured a blank Outlook profile, no data other than the IMAP info for my .Mac/Me account. Then I downloaded (didn't used my existing copy) of iTunes 7.7 and reinstalled. Sync'd phone. Changed MobileMe settings. Told it to sync contacts and calendar with Outlook. It warned me because it was the first sync. Told it to take ALL of the MobileMe data and replace the data on the computer (which was blank.) NOTHING showed up in Outlook. When I tell it to sync Contacts with the Windows Address Book, it works fine.
In Conclusion, it still won't sync with Outlook, when it's set to Sync with Outlook I still get the annoying MAPI errors. So I switched to to Sync the Contacts with the Windows Address Book, and I'm backing up my WAB file now with my nightly backups.
I suppose we'll see if it gets fixed when I format/reinstall on Vista Ultimate in the next month or two. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open and willing to try them.
On a completely unproductive note: Despite my love for Exchange, I hate MAPI.

I tried to update the last itunes, but the error message says there is a missing program to finish the update. But it doesn't tell what program.

I tried to update the last itunes, but the error message says there is a missing program to finish the update, but it doesn't list what program is missing. I have never had issues in the past updating a new iTunes.

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support perssonel or package vendor."
That's perfect, thanks.

I cannot launch or reinstall iTunes because of errors 7 and 998.

I recently upgraded to the iTunes 10, and didn't have any problems. Today when I tried to launch iTunes, I was told that iTunes had installed incorrectly - Apple Error #7, Windows Error #998, and that I should re-install iTunes. But when I did reinstall iTunes, I got the same error message. iTunes was working fine yesterday!

Most commonly, an error 7 is either caused by trouble with your Microsoft .NET framework, or problems with one of the applications iTunes needs in order to run (most commonly Apple Application Support, although a damaged QuickTime can cause error 7s too, in my experience).
It seems more likely that your AAS or QuickTime would have "gone off" overnight than your .NET framework. So, let's try a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and all related components and software this time, as per:
[Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925]
Does your iTunes start launching again after those measures, AnnLouise?

When I try to update my iphone, I receive an error message and it won't complete the download of the new software.

The error message says the network connection timed out. How do I fix this to update my iphone 4?

Have you tried this?

I have an iPhone 4 and tried to update to iOS6 but received an error message when trying to restore. The phone is no longer recognised on iTunes (using my Windows PC). I have reinstalled iTunes but this has not worked. What can I do??

I have followed the instructions on the apple support pages and still cannot get my phone to work. It continues to show the iTunes USB picture and is not recognised on my iTunes on the windows PC. When I connect the phone to my iMac it shows no data and says I can restore to factory setting. However if I do this will all my data be erased? How do I get my phone and data back? I have saved most of the photos that were on the phone but all my contact details and messages are stored and I really need to get them back! Would have limited memory on the phone when trying to update caused this problem?

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

I cannot update or reinstall iTunes. Says I'm missing iTunes64.mis?

Arrrggghhh! I somehow got a corrupted file so now I cannot repair, uninstall, update, or install a second version of iTunes. It doesn't matter what product I'm using, I'm trying to update the iTunes version on my Windows laptop. It will only go so far then say it's missing "iTunes64.msi" I have tried to look for this file on a desktop PC that has iTunes loaded and cannot find the file. Any suggestions that do not include restoring my laptop to original configuration?

ITunes update trashed my itune. Get error messages. Can't burn to CD

Windows XP Home SP3 on a Dell Pentium 4. 2G RAM. iTunes 10.3.1.55. iPod 4 Gen (32G)
I got the recent iTunes update request from Apple two days ago and downloaded/installed. Got a Windows Warning that the install had not passed the Windows Logo testing for XP, but accepted anyway as Apple said the update was for my computer. When I reopened iTunes I got the following warning:
ITunes connects with my iPod and it can read an import audio CDs, but it cannot burn a playlist to a CD. It says no audio CD found. I did a CD/DVD diagnostic test, inserted a prerecorded CD as requested and got the following screen:
I quit iTunes and did a System Restore with no discernable change. I then tried to do a Repair of iTunes. Near the end of the Repair cycle, the following
screen came up:
I have done at least a dozen Repairs, Uninstall/Reinstalls including the complete Uninstall including QuickTime, Bonjour, etc. as per the Apple Knowledge base. I have done the uninstall of Gear software using both the manual method and the uninstall software tool on their site (Note that the registry entries and files that they said need to be removed, did not exist on my computer). Each time I tried the reinstallation (both of Gear and iTunes), I got the above message concerning the DVD/CD-ROM drives software not being verified for XP.
I am at my wits' end here. Can anyone save me.

Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software

Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.

download iTunes again from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.

Fix for Thunderbolt OTA firmware update , when receiving an error message

Hi, my name is Lou, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post a solution or fix for Thunderbolt users that are unable to get their firmware update OTA..
For the last 2 weeks, when i got word that the (OTA) Over The Air firmware update should be coming out, i started going on my phones setting to check for new updates and started to receive an Error message, stating to check back when service was available, well Verizons attempt at fixing the issue was to to a hard factory reset, which didn't work, they also had me go to the local Verizon Wireless store and switch out my SIM card, and that didnt work, and they also tried Forcing the update to y phone, and again No resolve.. There last solution was to send me a refurbished phone, which I am strongly against, cuz I dont want a used piece of equipment, ... well anyways, I found the solution for the fix of getting the update downloaded to your phone, from www.thunderboltforums.com ,
You first need to downlaod an app from the market titled LTE On/Off app, install it. Once installed, I turned of my WiFi on the phone, then opened the LTE On/Off app, and rememer the original setting that its on, bcuz thats the setting u will have to set it at, when your update begins... Select the CDMA mode, not the CDMA(PRL) mode... then exit the app.... By selecting the CDMA mode only, this should make your either 3G or 4G signal switch to a 1X symbol.. then, i restarted my phone, .... i dont think restarting is necessary, but i did it anyways... when it restarted, the signal setting was still at 1X, then I went to setting, aSoftware Update, then Check Now, and within a minute or so, the Download option appeared. once I started the downlaod, I let about a minute pass by, then I went and opened one last time, the LTE On/Off app, and switched the setting to its default setting, and mine was the 4G option and the 4G signal kicked in, and the 78Mb download completed within 3 minutes... hopes this helps... It helped me...

I could be wrong but I believe this has been covered but thanks for sharing still...

HT1926 Attempting to update Itunes, received System Error: "program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing form computer" try reinstalling the program to fix problem. Question , if reinstall Itunes via download, do I lose my music library?

Attempting to update itunes, received system error" Program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from computer, try reinstalling the program to fix the problem. Question, I can't access Itunes to backup library, how do I reinstall without loosing music library?

It doesn't matter and doing a manual install will not fix the problem either. I'm looking for a solution but no luck yet. I think Apple has given us a bad update.

Hi Kayleenfromwi,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. This article has instructions for doing this:

The last Apple itunes update from 1/24/14 was unsuccessful and I now receive an error message stating that a program MSVCR80 file is missing. What does that mean?

On January 24, 2014 I received a prompt on my Sony Vaio laptop that there was an iTunes program update ready. I allowed my computer to install it, I received an error message stating it could wasn't completed. Since then I can't access my iTunes and continuously receive an error message stating that a file MSVCR80 is missing. A second message pop-up box states that I need to reinstall iTunes. My question is if I remove the program how do I locate my file to reinstall it and am I going to lose any of my music?

Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)
