Drag the migrated home folder to the desktop and provide your administrator password.

ITunes won't install. Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft

iTunes won't install.
Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft
Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this?

I am the administrator, so this can't be a rights problem. The error message says "error writing to file c:\program files\apple software update\softwareupdate.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory".
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, as per the following document:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
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?

Error Message when Installing Itunes 9.0.1

When Installing Itunes 9.0.1 I received the following error message
"The systetm extension "/System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.Kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product'svendor for an update.
I don't know anything about this extension and would like some help finding out if I even need it.

Sean,
Yes, this is a known defect: CSCue69477 - CTI Route Port Synch Issue with CUCM. As per the bug:
"This issue will occur if the "SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space" under Protocol Specific Information in the Template for the CTI Route Ports is configured. To work around this, the "Owner User ID" under Device Information for the Template needs to be configured."

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?

Install Problem - Error Writing to file

I am getting the following error when I try to Install the demo of 3.4.1: Error 1304. Error writing to file C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Cameraraw\CameraPRofiles\Camera\Nikon d40X\Nikon D40X Camera D2X Mode 2.dcp. Verify that you have access to that directory.
I though I changed access but it will not access when I hit Retry. Any suggestions? Thanks Alan.

Beat: I ran as Administrator and tried downloading a second program Same thing. Then I check I I saw the file was Hidden so I inchecke
d that. Same thing. Then I checked the Nikon D40X folder and tried to explore it. I got a message that the files were corrupted
. So apparently LR3 couldn't get in there. SO I tried to delete that file. No good.
So now what? What created that file in the first place? Maybe I have to re-install that program. Ignoring it as an option doesn't work. It just ends the installatiopn of LR3.
Any suggestions?

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package ..." error messages when installing iTunes for Windows 7 64bit

I was promted to upgrade to the new itunes version today (11.0.2.26), but wish I never had as the previous version worked just fine!! I have been unable to install the new version and keep getting the message about there being a problem with the Windows Installer package. I tried following the instructions on this support pages on removing all Apple programs but that didn't work either!! I have Windows 7 64 bit and am close to throwing my PC out of the window!! Quicktime will not re-install correctly either...
Any suggestions will be most gratefully received

Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)

Error message when installing itunes

hi
i have got a new laptop with windows 7 on it and when i try install it i get this error message
Microsoft.VC80.CRT, version=8.050727.4053, type=win32, publickeytoken=1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b, process or architecture=x86. Refer to help and support for more info. HRESULT:0x800736B3".
i hope someone can help
thanks
paul

With that one, try heading into your Windows Update and attempting to download some new updates. If they download, try another iTunes install.
If the Windows updates fail, open your Update History and doubleclick the failed updates. In the small box that comes up, what error message code are you seeing?
If it's an 0x8007000b, try the following document:
[Windows Update error 8007000b|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Windows-Update-error-80070 00b]
... then stock up on Windows Updates, and then try another iTunes install.
If it's a different error code for the Windows Update failures, post back to let us know what it says.
(The underlying problems that can produce the iTunes install troubles of the type you're getting also typically prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to use the Microsoft documentation on the Update errors ... if we can get those fixed, the iTunes trouble is usually cleaned up +en passant.)+

Can anyone help with an error message when installing iTunes?

Hi,
I have been trying to upgrade my iTunes to 7.6, I have been unable to upgrade since version 7.3 it fails right at the end, well this time it didn't work either. I took the advice of the support pages and uninstalled iTunes but when I try to re-install I get this during the first part when it is installing QuickTime,
A portion of the folder path " is invalid. It is either empty or exceeds the length allowed by the system.
I click OK and get this,
The installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires QuickTime.
I have tried to uninstall QuickTime but I get the same messages.
Can anyone help me?!

I am having the exact same problem! and now i can't access my pending downloads!! if anybody has any answers, i am begging you, please help me. if i can't fix this then i have wasted $40., so please, help me!

Error Message when installing iTunes 10.7

Everytime I try to install the 64 bit version of iTunes I get the following error message:
Error message: 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32".version="8.0.50727.4053".publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture="amd64"'.
I do have a 64 bit version computer. That is not my problem. This has been happening for over a year now.

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

Does anyone know the cause of this and how it can be fixed? Thanks.
