ITunes 11.0 won't install correctly when I try to install it

So, I've had multiple problems with this now, first it wouldn't update and gave me an error message saying "Error writing to file:
C:\ProgramData\188F432-103A-4ffb-80F1-36B633C5C9E1\x86\x86\GEARAspiWDM.sys. Verify that you have access to that directory"
And at one point, I opened iTunes in the new form while that error message was still up and played a bit of music.
I exited the installer and opened iTunes again, this time it said that my Library file was "created in a newer version" so therefore wouldn't open.
So I uninstalled the original version and tried installing again. It didn't work and gave me the same message.
THEN, I went into the ProgramData folder and just deleted that file, then tried reinstalling. This time, the message it gave me was "An error occured while attempting to create the directory: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows"
And that folder I can't delete. So, I'm at an impass with iTunes.
I could just let it sit like that and not be able to sync my iPod or get help and I've chosen to let it sit 'till I get help.
Now, if an image is going to be helpful, I will provide one of the error.
So, I was trying to install the update...: Apple Support Communities

  • When I upgraded to win 7 I was told to uninstall iTunes and its helper programs. Now when I try to install it I get this message that it's not part of the original program.

    When I upgraded to Windows 7 I was told to uninstall iTunes and its helper services. Now when I try to install it I get a message that says "the files I'm trying to install are not native to this program. Is this being blocked by Windows 7 security that I'm not used to. I'm not using the Windows firewall. How do I find what process is doing the blocking. Any ideas would sure help. Rex

    I understand where you are coming from.  I had the Ultimate Tier at one point, but I didn't watch alot of those channels so I downgraded. 
    Another problem with changing my tier back up to Ultimate is that I was told I would lose the discounts associated with the package I have now.  The discounts won't transfer to the new package and they can't give me an equal amount of discounts with a new package. At least with the Sports Pass, it is an add on like HBO, so you can cancel at anytime with no penalties or changes to your plan.
    Verizon does advertise the Sports Pass on its website.  Here are the channels.  The only ones I would be interested in would be beIN and ESPN Classic, since I will be losing that channel sometime in May since I only have the Extreme tier.
    beIN Sports HD
    CBS Sports Network
    ESPN Buzzer Beater HD
    ESPN Goal Line HD

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • Labview wont install anything when I try to install it.

    So I had labview before but i had to get rid of it to make space on my computer and i accidently deleted some files in the NI folder before i unistalled it, it didnt unstall it correctly when i went to unistall the program. I have tried everything to get rid of all the NI files on my computer including using CCleaner to try and clean out my registry. I need to reinstall Lab View but i cant since it will run the installer and then not install anything probabaly thinking its already installed.

    You're probably aware of this already, but Windows is quite fond of hiding things from users.
    Do you have explorer set to show hidden files and folders?
    There is also National Instuments program data stored in C:\ProgramData\National Instruments that is normally hidden.
    Also some in C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\National Instruments
    And personal settings stored in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\National Instruments
    and C:\Users\%username%\Documents\LabVIEW Data
    All of these locations are normally hidden when browsing for files to protect the user from themself.

  • ITunes downloaded, but getting a QuickTime error when I try to install

    I have downloaded iTunes. No problems there. The iTunesSetUp EXE file is on my Desktop. But when I then run the iTunesSetup.exe to install it, I keep getting the exact same message:
    "The installation of QuickTime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires QuickTime"
    That's it. No error number or further explanation. I have deleted/erased all other versions of QuickTime. I have downloaded, run and installed the QuickTime 7 standalone installer from my hard drive and yet I still keep getting the same message I posted above.

    Never mind.  Found a workaround...

  • Hello I have a 4 yo mac desktop..I bought a new iphone s and wanted to use it with my itunes. It required the new version of itunes be downloaded to my mac so I did so but when I try to install it it requires version 10.8 or better?

    Hello,
    I have a 4 yo mac desktop system unkown i downloaded latest version of itunes for use with my iphone5s but when I try to install I get an error message reads" requires ox 10.6.8 or better be installed?....stystem update check shows no updates available.....help

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer.  See the end of this post for options.
    If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (if you don't already have it -- OS 10.6), but check system requirements first:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After installing, or if you already have some lower 10.6 version, run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

    The new update for my computer is ready to be installed.

Thank you so much.

    You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.

    Yes, this did solve the problem.  But I had some trouble updating QuickTime.  It failed, with the installer complaining that it did not have the required permissions to install the files it needed in the program directory.  I got it to work by telling it to install the files to another directory.  All seems well now - Thanks!

    I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode.  Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed.  I forget what those tests were called.
    I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.
