Making iTunes x64 and the iPhone work in XP x64

A reader named Mark left an excellent link in the comments page of my 64-bit iTunes blog entry that shows how to install iTunes and iPhone support on Windows XP 64-bit. I really wish Windows XP 64-bit had better support when it was launched because I suspect we'd have more Vista and Windows 2008 64-bit drivers by now. Read about how to get things going in XP x64 here.

It might be surprising with the amount of music entries I post in here from time to time, but I do not own an iPod, or Zune or any other type of music player. The closest thing I have is my Motorola Q with 3rd party audio software.

I used the same (albeit slightly modified) instructions and got iTunes 8 to install. I grabbed iTunes 8 via this link http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iTunes8/061-4747.20080909.Crkr2/iTunes864Setup.exe and altered the Launch condition value to 501 with Orca and it's running fine.

How do you open the itunes setup 64 exe file in orca, it only asks for msi and such, gives me an error on exe. Thanks

#5.1 Art on 2008-09-12 08:57 (Reply)

You have to unpack the exe installer with 7zip (which I snobbily suggest you have installed anyway, as it's a free and more streamlined freeware alternative to Winzip and it's ilk) and then use Orca to alter the iTunes64.msi.
Get the 8.01 installer here, BTW: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/iTunes8/061-5556.20081002.Aw234/iTunes80164Setup.exe

No dice either way. Apple is getting to be very similar to Microsoft in that they put out a device or program that is seriously lacking.

You know you can just delete the launch condition table completely.

The MSI will still work.
The launch condition msi table specifies what OS the msi will and will not run on, deleting it will allow it to run on all OS. Whether the application works though, is another matter.

I have gone throug the steps. When I run the modified Itunes installer iTunes.msi I get an error message (2229) and have to quit the installer.

Please help

I´m listening ...
Got the same problem here....

Error message (2229)

#7 jmgranner (Homepage) on 2008-12-06 15:53 (Reply)

2229 has been worked around at PlanetAMD64 by user “arth” over at the forum:

“I got an error when trying to install, error code 2229. To solve the problem I dropped the LauchnConditions table and in InstallExecuteSequence and InstallUISequence tables deleted the LaunchConditions action. After that save the MSI file and close ORCA”
