Error writing to C:\Config.Msi\*****.rbf

I'm trying to install iTunes 10.5 in Windows 7 (64-bit) but each time I attempt to do so, I end up with an error which says "Error writing to C:\Config.msi\***.rbf".
I've tried a few different fixes but nothing has worked. Changing the read-only permissions on the c:\config.msi folder doesn't work, nor does changing permissions on c:\temp.
Anybody have any ideas on why this is happening?

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

Doublechecking before proceeding. Do you have Kaspersky security software installed on the PC? (There's been a couple of reports of this in recent times being associated with Kaspersky interfering with the installs.)

Installation & update error : config.msi\PTA9D.tmp doesn't exist

Hi,
I have this recurrent error telling me C:\config.msi\PTA9D.tmp doesn't exist, I tried to install the new vesion instead of just updating but it doesn't work.
My actual version is reader 10.1.2 french installed the 01/13/12
Thanks a lot

What is your Windows version?
Can you try to right-click on the downloaded installer, then select Run as Administrator.
If that still does not do the trick, can you try downloading the MSI installer (10.1.0, French version) from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.0/fr_FR/AdbeRdr1010_fr_FR.msi
then run the update patch http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/10.x/10.1.3/misc/AdbeRdrUpd1013.msp

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 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\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
