I have searched here and googled this error, and while I have found similar, nothing that same as this.
I have been unable to update my Itunes, so after some research I realized it was the failure to update quicktime durring the Itunes update that was really happening. I have tried multiple things to fix this, all of which have been unsuccessful. Nothing would tell me why, just that quicktime failed to update.
My next step was to uninstall quicktime, this also failed with no reason why. So I attempted to Manually delete all quicktime files, and then run tuneup utilities to remove all registry entries. However when doing this I found I could delete all files, except the folder c:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTimeStreaming.Resources\de.lproj . When I try I get the below error message
When I try to go into the directory de.lproj I receive the this error message.
I have tried doing it from a different user, I have tried from safe mode but just keep getting the same I/O device error. I have looked in the device manager and no errors there either. changing the permissions and ownership but am unable to do that as well. I have run a virus scan and rootkit scan with avg and a scan with Super Anti Spyware. All of these came of negative. Also because I'm sure someone will ask, yes I have administrator privileges.
I'm at a loss of what to do next.
I'm running windows xp sp sp3 Not sure on what version of quicktime I was running, but it had to be a version from the last 6 months.
Any ideas?
