Itunes: Fatal Error During Installation (it wont download at all) HELP!

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 the computer 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.+*

so i deleted iTunes, Quicktime, iPod and everything i could (that my computer would let me) that had to do with Apple and restarted my computer then tried to download iTunes again but now when its reisntalling it says
*+Error writing to file:+* +*C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\disnoted.exe.*+
+*Verify that you have access to that directory.*+

Then after this i went to the folder
+*C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\disnoted.exe.*+
and made sure that Read Only wasn't checked but everytime i go to uncheck it and click Apply and OK it doesnt stay it just goes right back to being checked...because when u click OK the window goes away so i immediately opened it back up to see if changed but it was filled again

WHAT DO I DO?!?!? please can someone help me

The details for my computer are:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional Version 2002
Service Pack 2

IBM Thinkpad Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2, Windows XP Pro, Intel (R) Penitum (R) M processor 1600MHz 589MHz, 512MB of RAM

I'm not sure if this is of any help but I tried downloading an older version of iTunes (iTunes 7.2) but this came up:
+*Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\fi.;proj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll.*+
+*Verify that you have access to that directory*+

I tried getting that because all the newer versions wouldnt download either as I have already described
