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?

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found

Itunes won't install. Error message: Apple Application Support not found. What is the fix for this?

It is always these four updates that fail. I've tried downloading and installing them seperately from apple downloads. I've tried various recommended fixes, and nothing I can figure out works. Before these problems, itunes worked on the computer for a year.
Thank you again for wanting to help me.

Itunes won't install. Error msg?

Everytime I try to install Itunes the error message comes up and says to refer to help and suppport and has HRESULT:0x80070424. How do I fix that?

What is the entire error message?
Are you able to remove iTunes or remove/install any other applications?
Take a look at this thread -> I-tunes will not install. even after i used all of the help offers.

Itunes won't install get error 'could not access network location'

I get the following error message when I try to install itunes 10.5 on a new windows 7 pc.
Tx in advance for the help.

With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:
You receive an "Error 1606" error message when you try to install or remove a Microsoft program

ITunes won't install--HKEY error?

So I have a new Nano and iTunes refuses to install.
Yayyy.
Every time I try, it tells me that it could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp\CLSID. It tells me to verify I have sufficient access to the key--I made sure I did--and contact support personnel.
Someone help me. Nothing's worked. I've given myself full access, uninstalled and reinstalled everyfrickinthing, and nothing. I always always ALLLLWAYS have the same error.
It's depressing.
Seriously, this iPod's about to go out my window... please help =(

Itunes won't open. says error report

everytime i click on itunes a window comes up saying
"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.
we are sorry for the inconvenience."
then at the buttom there are two links sayind SEND ERROR REPORT and DON'T SEND.
clicking either one won't do anything.
neither will uninstalling it and reinstalling it.
or restarting my computer.
i need help.

let's first check to see if this is associated with a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

ITunes won't install. No music. help

iTunes message came up saying the software wasn't installed properly to recognize my iPod. I tried to upgrade and then it wouldn't install saying encountered errors before itunes could config. I followed som tech help situation resolutions and removed itunes & quicktime and disabled startup items. still iTunes won't install. i get same message. i've rebooted 4 times.

iTunes and quicktime are a bundled thing, iTunes uses parts of quicktime in the background to play audio and video. Try uninstalling iTunes AND quicktime, then download the latest iTunes from apple.com Disable your antivirus and install it (Installing iTunes installs quicktime too). Doing this is to make sure both iTunes and quicktime are current and up to date.
If it still will not play music, see if the progress bar is moving while it plays a song, even tho you hear no sound. Try going to, in windows, control panel>quicktime>audio tab and make sure "Safemode" is checked.

Error Message:The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character

I have an 80G iPod. I never had a problem with the itunes program until I switched to Vista. When I try to open iTunes I get the following error message:
*The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character*
I have itunes installed on both my HP and on an external hard drive that I use as my backup in case something goes wrong. Neither one opens and I get the same error message on both. I have tried to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall and get the same message so I can't uninstall.
I'm really frustrated, I need to get to my music for a huge presentation in a few days. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Jejo

Itunes won't install update to recognize my iphone comes up with a error cannot find Itunes.msi

my itunes won't instal the update errors saying cannot find itunes.msi

Hi, kdub5.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you can not update iTunes due to a .msi error. I would recommend uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components as outlined in the first article below. For any component that gives you the .msi error, go through the steps in the second article below.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert appears when you remove Apple software in Windows

Is there also another message, Rob, citing a particular file? If so what is the name of the file? (Precise spelling, please.)
Are you running XP, Vista or 7? (I'm assuming 2000 must have just been a slip of the fingers.)
