ITunesAdmin.dll error message - verify that you have access

iTunes froze, so I uninstalled iTunes. Have made repeated attempts to download new version from iTunes website, but repeatedly get this message "Error writing to file c:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesAdmin.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory."
I have admin authority on this machine. What do I need to do to verify that I have access to this directory and/or give myself the necessary access since I seem not to have it? I can see that the file there on my hard drive.
I have rebooted the machine and tried several different things, but keep getting the same error when I try to install iTunes. Have wasted at least six hours on this. Hope someone wiser out there can get us un-stuck.

Hello Skeandhu,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with updating iTunes. You may want try downloading the latest iTunes update directly from the Apple site. When you are installing it, be sure you are logged in as an administrator:

I am trying to re-install itunes.
I removed all Apples software, and restarted.

Thanks so much. This definitely worked. I'm sorry I did not think of using IE. I use Foxfire exclusively so seldom even think of IE as an alternative.

When I try to download the update to iTunes, I get an error message "Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stat system services",

When I try to download theupdate to iTunes, it goes through all the steps until the final one, then I get an error message "Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services", then the download stops. Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Itunes will not install. I get the error message "Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\com.apple.IE.client_main.dll 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.
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.

Please uninstall the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework, and install it again. After that, reboot your machine.

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.

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?

Can't install itunes, "verify that you have access..." message

I already had iTunes installed, but when I tried to open it just now it was as if it was installing for the first time, and before it could finish I got this message:
Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Clients\com.apple.Safari\Contents\Resources\da.lproj\locve rsion.plist
Verify that you have access to that directory.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and I got the same message. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

+Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Clients\com.apple.Safari\Contents\Resources\da.lproj\locve rsion.plist+
+Verify that you have access to that directory.+
That's looking like file or folder damage (in one of the sets of the Danish languages resources, I believe).
Try running a chkdsk over the C Drive:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Does that find/repair any damage?
If so, will iTunes open for you now?

Update problem. "error writing to file c:\config.msi\22be9d65.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory."

Every time I try and update to the latest version, I get an error messages saying to manually do it from tools menu. After doing that, I get an error message saying "error writing to file c:\config.msi\22be9d65.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory." I am the sole user on this computer and have full administrative rights to my computer. Why am I getting this? I REALY don't care if I upgrade or not but want to get rid of the stupid apple update crap that comes up everytime I turn my computer on. If there are no suggestiong on how to fix this issue, is there a way to turn apple update OFF?! I have Windows 7 Home Premium.

"Error writing to file: C:\config.msi\3a3043.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory. "

I keep getting this error when trying to update iTunes: "Error writing to file: C:\config.msi\3a3043.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory." iTunes will not work. Any time I try to apply settings iTunes locks up. Anyone know how to fix this?

I had this exact same problem just now, trying to upgrade to 10.7.
I even got that error msg when trying to UNINSTALL iTunes!
After hours of frustration trying everyone's different suggestions, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller http://www.cnet.com.au/apps/revo-uninstaller-10610875/ which solved the problem.
Use it to help uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
1. iTunes
2. QuickTime
3. Apple Software Update
4. Apple Mobile Device Support
5. Bonjour
6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Then you can install iTunes from scratch.
Good luck
