Error "1310: Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi..."

Can someone help before I go completely insane,
I had Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium installed on my Asus laptop, when I would try to update I would get that there was a problem and the 11 updates could not be installed, after spending about 4 hours a day for days I decided a clean install might help, THAT'S WHERE THE REAL PROBLEMS STARTED, I have now spent another 4 half days firstly with color profile rollback and had to spend hours changing permissions to delete color profiles, running Adobe Support Advisor, Windows fix's, Adobe clean up tool,
I have managed to get the programs installed again with one problem Flash additional components, when I run the support advisor i keep getting this Error"1310:Error writing to file:C\Config.Msi..."(I have done searches and manually searched)
and kb408730r2 Error 1310 unable to write to a file-Creative Suit 4, I can't find this file I'm sure it does not exist so don't bother suggesting to change permissions or rename it,
I can't understand why a program worth thousands of dollars has so many problems, I am so disgusted.................................
at the moment I have most of the programs reinstalled, there updates available but I can't install them,
Anti-virus turned off, tried hard wire instead of wireless,
I have spent hours deleting Adobe files and folders, upgraded from CS2-noCS2 clean tool
contacted customer service, could not even understand my problem.................................................................................. ..

The flash player works fine,
Windows 7
I have tried to install several times, then had to go through the uninstall and attempt to clean up so have several log files,
Before blaming my laptop the only problem I have is with this program,
I have it installed on another PC and everything works fine, a tower,
From what I understand I can have the program installed on a PC and a laptop as long as I only us it on one or the other at any one time,
Researching these problems it has been reported that it is common on laptops for whatever reason and could be a result of piracy fears,
My version is legitimate and the Asus laptop has no other problems what so ever……
I have the “highlight new programs checked” on this attempt at reinstalling after reboot the Adobe CS4 program folder is highlighted then when it’s open most of the programs are highlighted like they are new, and they should be, but extension manager, flash, illustrator, and sound booth are not, like they are not a new instillation, but they are,
I spent ages on the colour profiles roll back also, one of many problems
One thing it has not been doing and I know it should because I have upgraded lots of programs, it’s not asking for the product key for the CS2 version and I know it should be, the CS4 is an upgrade but as I said its working fine on my PC
I also know I should not be spending a million hours try to work this problem out, I paid a lot of money for this and it should not have been problem in the first place, I was about to upgrade to 5.5 but that is definitely on hold….
I keep sending error reports to Adobe, one of the report numbers is 00-74926-225331012012

Error 1310. Error writing to file C:\Config.Msi\356163.rbf when trying to repair Office 2010

I am having trouble with Excel 2010 crashing. I have tried to repair Office 2010 but I keep getting the response:
Error 1310. Error writing to file C:\Config.Msi\356163.rbf. Please verify that you have access to that directory.
Can that error be fixed or should I just uninstall Office and reinstall???

Hi,
Essentially the CONFIG.MSI folder contains backups of files that are being installed or updated during a program installation.However, sometimes the installer program fails to add & remove these files because the access permissions have been
changed by some programs.Please try the following steps to add the Everyone group with Full Control permissions to the Config.Msi Folder:
Show Hidden Files and Folders in Windows 7
1.Start > in Search programs and files box, type Folder Options then Enter.
2.Click the View tab.
3.Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
4.Uncheck Hide protected operating system files (Recommended), and then click OK.
Add the Everyone group with Full Control permissions to the Config.Msi Folder
1.Open My Computer
2.Double-click on Drive C
3.Look for the CONFIG.MSI folder
4.Right-click on the CONFIG.MSI folder and and then click Properties and then click the Security tab.
5.Click the Edit... button and on the next screen click Add.
6.On the next screen, in the large text window type Everyone and then click Check Names - Everyone should then be underlined.
7.Check the box for Full control under the Allow column, and then click OK, then OK again, and OK again to close all the windows.
Now try repairing your Office 2010 again.

"Error writing to file: C:\config.msi\3a3043.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory. "

I keep getting this error when trying to update iTunes: "Error writing to file: C:\config.msi\3a3043.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory." iTunes will not work. Any time I try to apply settings iTunes locks up. Anyone know how to fix this?

I had this exact same problem just now, trying to upgrade to 10.7.
I even got that error msg when trying to UNINSTALL iTunes!
After hours of frustration trying everyone's different suggestions, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller http://www.cnet.com.au/apps/revo-uninstaller-10610875/ which solved the problem.
Use it to help uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
1. iTunes
2. QuickTime
3. Apple Software Update
4. Apple Mobile Device Support
5. Bonjour
6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Then you can install iTunes from scratch.
Good luck

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 c:\config.Msi\5159655.rbf - 8596

For a while now I have seen the same message about not being able to import or burn CDs because itunes was not installed properly, which didn't really bother me because I rarely did either of those. Then I was prompted to update itunes as usually happens when there is an update available, but along the way during the usuall update process, I recieved an error message:
error writing to file c:\config.Msi\5159655.rbf
So I said screw it, cancelled the update, and continued to put up with the burn/import notice every time I opened itunes. Eventually I just wanted to fix the problem for good so I completely uninstalled every itunes and apple related application I had on my computer; itunes, bonjour, quicktime, apple update thingy, apple mobile device support, apple application support, safari, etc. everything.
I then proceeded to download and install itunes from online all over again, and much to my discouragement, itunes continued to open with the improper installation: unable to import or burn CDs notice every time.
I don't know what else to do if completely uninstalling and reinstalling the program doesn't solve the problem.
Help would be much appreciated

Update problem. "error writing to file c:\config.msi\22be9d65.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory."

Every time I try and update to the latest version, I get an error messages saying to manually do it from tools menu. After doing that, I get an error message saying "error writing to file c:\config.msi\22be9d65.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory." I am the sole user on this computer and have full administrative rights to my computer. Why am I getting this? I REALY don't care if I upgrade or not but want to get rid of the stupid apple update crap that comes up everytime I turn my computer on. If there are no suggestiong on how to fix this issue, is there a way to turn apple update OFF?! I have Windows 7 Home Premium.
