Error writing to file when updating Itunes Windows 7

Error message: C\Program files (x86) Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceHelper.resources\clientdescription.plist MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT DIRECTORY.
HELP!!!

I don't know where to go from this point, but I threw caution to the wind and double-clicked iTunes Windows Installer Package. It went to work until I got another error message: "Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\1279ed.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? I tend to identify that message with Kaspersky interfering with the install.
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 (64-bit installer file) 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 when installing iTunes 10.

When I updated to iTunes 10 yesterday, it updated fine, but when I went to run it today, it had to configure. It was almost completed when I got the error "Error writing to file: C\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\ru.lproj\IPod touch License.rtf". I tried to access the file, but it says the file cannot be found.
I uninstalled iTunes, and went to re-install it, but at about the same time I get the exact same error.

Hi,
Did you guys finally find solution to the problem?
I have been trying to install Oracle 9.2.0.1 on redhat 8.0 box, for ages now. I get the following error first during install
Error in writing to file libclntsh.so.9.0
Then it is a series of errors, similar.
In the end there is the dreaded linking error... for the ins_rdbms.mk sdo_on
i just cant handle it.
What the hell is wrong?
I have done everything right as far as i know... any solutions?
cheers

Error when updating iTunes (Windows 7)

This morning, I got another notice to update iTunes on a Win 7 machine. The download seemed to go smoothly, but twice the installation failed with little information about why it failed. The error box suggested I try download only and install manually.
Okay, I've tried that. Again, the download went well, but then a Windows Explorer box opened with not one, but FOUR files on display.
AppleApplicationSupport (type: Windows Installer Package), 32,312 kb
AppleMobileDeviceSupport (type: Windows Installer Package), 10.060 kb
iTunes (type: Windows Installer Package), 68,852 kb
SetupAdmin (type: application), 76 kb
I don't know where to go from this point, but I threw caution to the wind and double-clicked iTunes Windows Installer Package. It went to work until I got another error message: "Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\1279ed.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory."
I ran the repair thing on the Apple Software Updater and tried again, but with the same results. "Errors occurred ... . If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download Only and try installing manually."
Huh? I hesitate to hit the Retry button. My experience tells me that just brings up the same error. Can someone help me decipher this mumbo-jumbo, please. For one thing, I can see nothing to guide me for "installing manually." That list of four items: Where do I begin? Do I have to install each package, one at at time? Why is it so complicated?

Help please! error writing to file cannot download itunes...cant fix!

i really dont know what to do... i just got my computer a couple of months and something must have happened when i downloaded it the first time. i few times after using is i was having problems it said something about a corrupt file. So logically i thought to uninstall and then reinstal. but since then i have been dealing with this problem for a couple of weeks.
installation will go well for a while (a couple of minutes) then i will this error.
Error writing to file: C:\programfiles\commonfiles\apple\mobiledevicesupport\bin\AOSutils.dll
then its says please verify that you have access to that directory.
i have tried so many things and really dont know what to do. this cannot be manually deleted either.
any advice would be appreciated!

"Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory."
Most commonly, it's caused by disk or file damage, J.
Let's first try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's Windows 7 instructions in the following document. 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 choose to go about things). You should be prompted to schedule the scan to run on restart. That sort of scan of the C drive should take a long time ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan:
[How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)|http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html]
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Missing mscrv80.dll file when updating itunes. what is it and how can I get it back?

When updating itunes the new installation said I was missing mscrv80.dll file. I've reinstalled but still doesn't work. How can it be repaired?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Error 7 came up when updating itunes, told to reinstall but 'apple mobile device' failed to start, check privileges? what does this mean?

when trying to update itunes error 7 appeared and a message to reinstall. have tried to dowload again but now 'apple mobile device' failed to start, verify you have sufficient privileges? Anyone know what this means. do I ignore?

I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help?

"Error writing to file" when installing Oracle9i

I am fairly new to Oracle and have not been able to install Oracle 9i on my Redhat 7.2 box. In three attempts to install I have encountered the same error at some point, usually early on 5% or 10% into the install.
The error is:
     "Error in writing to file /usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/olap/wrksht/wks.jar"
However, it has not happened on the same file each time. I have stopped the installation of that component, but it encounters the same error on other files. I have tried redownloading the oracle disks and reinstalling, but to no avail. I read on one posting that Oracle needs to have glib2.2(rather than glib1.2) installed, so I downloaded it and will be trying that later today. If anyone has encountered this error and knows how to solve it I would appreciate the help. Below I have listed my computer configuration and I have attached the portion of the install log that identifies the error that takes place.
     Thanks

7.0 won't install, error writing to file

Received the following 7.0 install error on Toshiba laptop with Win XP Tablet Ed.
Error writing to file C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\iPodHelp.chm
Verify that you have access to that directory.
Hangs same place each install attempt and can't bypass or ignore, only cancel.
Any ideas welcome
Windows XP

for what it is worth, i believe that that means it is hanging up on resources relating to the french language version of the ipodhelp documentation in your itunes help menu.
try navigating to
C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\fr.lproj\iPodHelp.chm
... and deleting that file.
does the install go through properly after doing that?

Error 1310. Error writing to file....Verify that you have access to that directory

Hi
My system is running Win 7 Professional 32 bit with 4gig RAM
I am experiencing a problem installing a piece of software - Laplink PC Mover - I need to migrate to my new machine.
The installer starts and the grinds to a halt with the error message:
"Error 1310. Error writing to file: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Laplink PCMover Professional\Visit Laplink.com.url. Verify that you have access to that directory"
I understand from Laplink Tech Support that this is a generic Windows Installer problem, and searching the web it seems to crop up a lot.
I have done a lot of searching, including this site.
I have tried the solutions I have found so far:
Run as Administrator [my user profile has administrator rights but I tried that anyway]
Run from the Administrator user account
Install in Safe Mode - Windows tells me the installer is not available in safe mode!!!
Un-registering and re-registering the installer via msiexec
Using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions
After all of this, I get the same result - the installer halts with the same message.
Can anybody help? I am desperate to avoid two days solid re-installing all my expensive software, finding product keys etc.

Hi,
You can test in Clean Boot mode to avoid the software conflicts, in experience, some anti-virus program would lead this corruption.

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 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?

When downloading iTunes, I got a message about error writing to file and it told the file. Then it said to verify that you have access to that directory. I have no idea how to fix it. I could really use some help, please.

I was trying to download iTunes on my computer, and while doing so, I got this message: Error writing to file: C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Apple Application Support/Apple Versions.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory. I have downloaded iTunes numerous times and I have never had this problem. If anyone knows what's going on, I would really appreciate the help.

Well, there's definitely a mac and a Windows version. And you're at the right page. I think the problem is that someone forgot (or decided not to) to update the text at teh bottom of the page to have Mac and Windows.
Just push the button, you'll get the Mac update no problem.
