Quicktime Error Writing to File:
Quicktime won't update/download to current version (7.6) and this is the error code; I'm working on nearly seven hours trying to fix this problem now - anybody have any hints or experience with this? I've updated Java and all MS updates.
C:\ProgramFiles\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeJavaExtras.qtx

I recieve the following error message when trying to install Quicktime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory." I just trying to get the latest version of iTunes. Thanks
"Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. 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
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? -
I get the following error message when trying to download ITunes on my computer running Windows XP - Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.dll
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.

"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 -

That's the error I get when trying to uninstall or reinstall my itunes. The application no longer works and I just purchased a new Ipod touch 4th generation that requires I uninstall and upgrade to 10.6.I had this exact same problem just now, trying to upgrade to 10.7.

Error writing to file c:\config.Msi\5159655.rbf - 8596
For a while now I have seen the same message about not being able to import or burn CDs because itunes was not installed properly, which didn't really bother me because I rarely did either of those. Then I was prompted to update itunes as usually happens when there is an update available, but along the way during the usuall update process, I recieved an error message:
error writing to file c:\config.Msi\5159655.rbf
So I said screw it, cancelled the update, and continued to put up with the burn/import notice every time I opened itunes. Eventually I just wanted to fix the problem for good so I completely uninstalled every itunes and apple related application I had on my computer; itunes, bonjour, quicktime, apple update thingy, apple mobile device support, apple application support, safari, etc. everything.
I then proceeded to download and install itunes from online all over again, and much to my discouragement, itunes continued to open with the improper installation: unable to import or burn CDs notice every time.
I don't know what else to do if completely uninstalling and reinstalling the program doesn't solve the problem.
Help would be much appreciatedI had this exact same problem just now, trying to upgrade to 10.7.

"Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\IpodUpaterEXT.dll
Recently Ive been trying to download Itunes9 for my dell ( using windows vista) and Ive successfully download quicktime however when it comes to downloading itunes itself, ive bee receiving a message stating "Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\IpodUpaterEXT.dll. Varify that you have access to that directory"
Why am i constantly recieving this? I tried uninstalling everything and re-installing again but i keep recieving the same message.Can anyone help me out?"Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\IpodUpaterEXT.dll. Varify that you have access to that directory"
That sort of message can be caused by file/disk damage. So try running a disk check over your C drive, as per the instructions in the following document. (Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.)
[Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]
Does the disk check find/repair any errors? If so, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
Cannot Install "Error writing to file:..."
Hello,
I have been using iTunes and Quicktime for quite sometime now. i recently attempted to upgrade to the latest version and received this error:
Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeVR.Resources\sa.lproj\QuickTimeVRLocalized.qt r. Verify that you have access to that directory.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime as well as conducted several virus and spyware tests with no luck.
This is quite frustrating as I cannot install nor use iTunes so I have no way of syncing my iPod.
Thank you for any suggetions.
Jordan WError writing to file: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeVR.Resources\sa.lproj\QuickTimeVRLocalized.qt r. Verify that you have access to that directory.
That sort of message citing that sort of program file (in this case it looks like it might be a file in your Spanish language resources) is usually caused by that file being damaged in some way.
The damage is often caused by disk damage near the file. So let's try running a chkdsk over the C drive:

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.

For running SharePoint Designer 2013, you need to install Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework or higher.
Please uninstall the Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework, and install it again. After that, reboot your machine.

When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??
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.
