Itunes Getlasterror 5

You opened Itunes and the Apple software updates started.

You got this error itunes getlasterror 5

Sick of those updates that don't work, then you have to download them manually, then install as administrator even though you are the administrator.

Do This At Your Own Risk

Download "Grant full control" to right click context.

1) Go to : https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0BwjqRgkVKt1INzdmNzE0OTYtNzU5NC00OWU3LTg2MzUtMmZkYTg2OTE0NzI1&hl=en&authkey=CK6Fq8AO

 2) Double click on the downloaded file should be : GrantAdminFullControl_1.reg, click yes to user account control, then yes to registry editor.

2) Now when you right click on a file you will have Grant admin full control in the context menu.

3) Now make your way to : C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer
Right click on "Installer cashe" folder and click on Grant admin full control click yes to user account control.

I have also noticed that there is a folder called : C:\ProgramData\Apple which also has an Installer cashe folder. I think this was an old folder. ( You may need to grant control to this folder if it doesn't work)

If you have trouble with QuickTime still, uninstall QuickTime, then update it again, it should be fine from now on.

Hope this helps someone, worked for me.
