When installing (after completely uninstalling iTunes) several times, windows 8.1 tells me to verify that I have access to C:\program files(x86)\itunes\itunes.resources\ar.lproj\printingtemplates\11.insert.textonl ybw.xml. so ***?
So basically, the main problem I've been having is since today I have not been able to access iTunes. After trying to repair, check for updates, etc. I uninstalled everything related to iTunes and reinstalled. Everything was going well until I was told to verify that I have access to that specific file listed in the title. Which to me is strange because I'm the only one who has access to this computer.
I am having the same issue with Vista 64 bit: After many failed download attempts ("network error") the Progress Bar briefly appears and that's it.
Searched for solution that led me to running "Microsoft FixIt", deinstalling iTunes, Apple Software Update, Mobile Dev Support, Bonjour, and Application Support - even manually deleting common files that were left over (tough with Vista). No difference. FYI, I was able to get rid of the Apple folder in Program Files (x86)/Common File, but not in Program Files/Common Files ... but that shouldn't make a difference as I am installing iTunes64Setup.exe, right?
I even tried iTunes 10.7 and 10.6.3 from Apple's support page ... same differnce.
Had a lot of security updates on 1/22/14 (all related to Office 2007 (including SP3), though). So I tried to restore past this point, but an "unknown error" occurred and I am stuck where I am ... lovely.
So now my system is chopped and I seem to not be able to get iTunes even close to my computer ... :-(
Just Irritatedtech said: Any suggestions are highly welcome ... - Thx.

Help!! What's going wrong here. I used to have iTunes installed on this computer but lost it when it crashed. I've tried re-installing it numerous times but I keep getting the same error message. "Error writing to file: C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes.Resources\es.lproj\iPadLicense.rtf. Verify that you have access to that directory." I know I have access to that directory because on a different computer I can sync my iPad and iPhone. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to go in and authorize or turn on? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
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? -
Every time I try to update itunes i get an error that says: error writing to file C:\Config.Msi\1c16cb7e.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory.
I've tried uninstalling and I the same error. Help!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+

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:

If so, will iTunes open for you now? -

I am trying to re-install itunes.
I removed all Apples software, and restarted.
still get error message: "Verify that you have access to that directory"
(as administrator)
now what?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.

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.

Itunes error writing to file: C\Config.Msi\165996.rbf verify that you have access to that directory
itunes error writing to file: C\Config.Msi\165996.rbf verify that you have access to that directory
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.
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:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Then you can install iTunes from scratch.
Good luck -

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.

I am having trouble installing updates from iTunes. It used to work flawlessly. I am having trouble finding an email address where I can contact Apple or iTunes. I do not want to take the chance that they will charge me for a phone call because I think it is unfair for them to charge me, since I am using THEIR software already. THEY NEED TO PAY ME!!
Here is the error message I receive each time I try to install the updates:
"Could Not Open Key:

If someone would be kind enough to help me, I would greatly appreciate it!!
