    Have you had iTunes installed before or is this a new installation? Mac or Windows?

    The library file is a small file that keeps track of all the files in your iTunes library, if you're updating iTunes it must need to alter the old library file, which has become locked somehow. Find the old library file, right click it and click get info or properties and see what its permissions are.
