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

  • 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.)

  • 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

  • Error while writing to file: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ iTunes \ iTunes.Resources \ el.Iproj \ iTunesExtrasDownload.png. Make sure you have access to this directory.

    When i try to install iTunes in my Windows 7, this error message apear "Error while writing to file: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ iTunes \ iTunes.Resources \ el.Iproj \ iTunesExtrasDownload.png. Make sure you have access to this directory." Someone help me!!

    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.

    That sort of message can be caused by file/disk damage. So try running a disk check over your C drive, as per the instructions in the following document. (Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.)
