Cannot install Itunes 10.1.1

'The installer has insufficient priviledges to access directory C:\PF\Ipod\bin. The install cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator.'.

That's consistent with disk/file damage, chester.

Let's first try running a chkdsk over your C drive. There's Windows 7 instructions in the following document. 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 choose to go about things). You should be prompted to schedule the scan to run on restart. That sort of scan of the C drive should take a long time ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan:

Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I seem to have the same error and at this point I cannot successfully complete a full synch between my itunes 10.1.56 and my IPhone 4 and I cannot upgrade to the latest version of Itunes that is supposed to provide a fix for that Synch hang problem.

I was not able to complete the ituens/quicktime upgrade automatically so I tried doing it manually. I received the same errors.

Here is what I see in the log files:

In QTInstallCode.log:

## ERROR: OpenADefaultComponent(PluginHelper) returned -2003
QuickTimeUnInstallProc Exit (error=1)

In SetupAdmin110.log:

MessageType: INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR
Message: The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:\Program Files\QuickTime\PictureViewer.Resources\da.lproj. The installation cannot continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator.

I have tried opening Windows Exployers in Administrative Mode and running the install but I receive the same error.

Can anyone provide some guideance on how we can get around these errors.

Thank you in advance for any help that can be provided.

I was able to get around the install problem by determining that it must be quicktime that was causing the problem so I just uninstalled and re-installed Quicktime first, rebooted and re-installed ITunes 10.1.4

not sure why but it worked for me.

Yes This helped!

This did not work for me. I tried installing QT on its own, and got the dreaded insufficient privileges error (da.lproj). So, what's up Apple?
