1239413 2011-10-23 21:05:00 Hello Folks!

I've been trying to install the latest version of itunes on XP and not having much success. I only get so far before this particular message comes up:


Error writing to file: c:\Program files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\CFNetwork.resource\Fi.lproj\Localalizable. strin gs. Verify that you have access to that directory.

This is all a bit bewildering to me.

I uninstalled everything to do with Apple from my computer several times and tried re-installing itunes only to encountered the same problem.

I would very much appreciate any help anyone could extend to me to overcome this problem. I miss itunes already!

Thanks,
Agoge

Cheers.

Have you tried deleting that particular file? That file may be locked, try using this
download.cnet.com

Have you actually uninstalled the program/s, or just deleted stuff? Maybe this will help (expand the Steps)
support.apple.com

You could try this too
technet.microsoft.com

1239417 2011-10-24 06:34:00 Thanks. I'll give those things a try and report back. Agoge (12669)
1239418 2011-10-24 10:53:00 Another thing you can try. Install a zip program (like izarc) and right click the itunes install file. Extract it. It's actually all the install files compressed. Install each file individually. dpDesignz (15919)
1239419 2011-10-26 09:00:00 Downloaded izarc, extracted itunes files, and encountered same problem almost immediately.

Nothing recommended has worked so far.

Thanks, though, guys.

1239420 2011-10-26 09:23:00 Are you installing it as admin not as a guest? Is the install file on the hdd youre installing it on?? Or is the install file on another computer? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1239421 2011-10-27 08:30:00 As a guest, Speedy.
I thoroughly deleted any itunes files from off of my hard drive each time before attempting to down load it again. It's very frustrating as I am a big podcast fan.
Should I attempt to down load again as admin?

Abundant thanks.

1239422 2011-10-27 08:49:00 Install it as admin. as Speedy indicated that is a likely cause of your problem. CliveM (6007)
