SL Installation

I'm having installation problems with the latest update, which caused my Second Life main program to crash. I'm running the Release Candidate for now, but i can no longer seem to install the main SL program. I've had an account for almost a year now, but when I run the update installation I get this message

Error opening file for writing

C:\Program Files\SecondLife\app_settings\mozilla\components\xulutil.dll

And about 40 other similar messages for various files it can't read.

This happened a few weeks ago, so I didn't update, but with the new release I decided to try again and just Ignore the errors. Now SL crashes before it even loads. I uninstalled SL and tried again, only to get the error message with all my updates that I've saved, even back from New Year's day.

I have no idea what's going on, and the sooner I can get SL back up and working again, the better. Please help, anybody.

Hello,

I installed the new viewer, but now I cannot login anymore : it runs until 'loading world' but then it stops and sends a crash report.

I uninstalled and reinstalled second life, but the problem remains.

What can I do ??? I have Windows XP.
