EDIT: IT NOW WORKS! FOR ITUNES 5. WITH SCREENSHOTS. I take no credit for anything, just an expansion of rikgale's guide. Putting everything in a central area, easy to refer to. This guide will make a 7-zip switchless itunes 5 installer. Visual Preparation get the following: - itunes installer from apple [http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/] - 7-zip [http://www.7-zip.org/] these are available in an archive in the post below -7zS.sfx -config.txt -its.cmd -makeinstall.cmd Steps 1. Install a clean install of itunes using the apple installer. Install 7-zip. 2. Configure your itunes and quicktime settings as desired. OPTIONAL STEP FOR PREFERENECES You need to get 3 files for your preferences. Get the files: Documents and Settings\[I]YOUR USERNAME[/I]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref" Documents and Settings\[I]YOUR USERNAME[/I]\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref" Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Quicktime\QuickTime.qtp The first two files have the same name, so we rename them to APiTunes.pref and LOiTunes.pref respectively. 3. Rename the setup you downloaded from Apple, to its.exe. We do this to ensure the filename is less than 8 characters. 4. Place all this in an empty directory. its.7z its.cmd config.txt makeinstall.cmd 7zS.sfx --These files are for preferences-- APiTunes.pref LOiTunes.pref QuickTime.qtp 5. Select all the files except config.txt and makeinstall.cmd. Right click on any file, and select "add to archive...". Change the compression setting to Ultra, and the file name should be its.7z. 6. You can now delete the still selected files, leaving makeinstall.cmd, config.txt, 7zS.sfx and its.7z in the directory. 7. Now run makeinstall.cmd. 8. You now have a file named iTunes.exe that is a silent installer of itunes 5.
