Itunes: Fatal Error During Installation

Yesterday my iTunes (7.3.1) was working with no problems then the iTunes + Quicktime upgrade came up telling me to download the newer version but I didnt want to download it yet untill after i restarted my computer so I exited out of both the upgrade screen and iTunes then restarted and when I tried to open up iTunes(after restarting), a little window came up saying:
+Preparing to install...+
Then after a minute or two it said: +Please wait while Windows configures iTunes+
Then another window pops up saying:
+*Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\fi.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. *+
+*Verify that you have access to that directory.*+
and I have no idea what that means so i closed it then a pop up shows saying: +Fatal Error During Installation.+

WHAT DO I DO?!?!? please help me
The details for my computer are:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional Version 2002
Service Pack 2

IBM Thinkpad, Windows XP Pro

Try first going through this article to remove iTunes and Quicktime completely ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698).

After you remove everything, don't re-install yet. Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301). After insalling that, remove any references of iTunes, Apple, or Quicktime in the list.

Try re-installing now.
