bump. why isn't this sticky.

updated for itunes5. screenshots coming very soon. i hope a mod can edit the thread title. edit: screenshot up.

u still need to add one line. just call the exe. i don't use RunOnceCmd, but i think it is: REG ADD %KEY%\005 /VE /D "iTunes 4.9" /f REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\iTunes.exe" /f substitute your own path to the file.

bump. just used this, and it rocks.

i can't wait for BartPE support too. then i'll build my winxp/bartpe cd.

it's in post no.2. will try building it again.

working version uploaded to rapidshare: http://rapidshare.de/files/4898695/iTunes.exe.html mirrors welcome. edit: updated for iTunes 5.0

zipped archive containing 7zS.sfx, config.txt, makeinstall.cmd and its.cmd. itunes.zip

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.

what's with people reviving ancient threads. use this instead: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=44603

woot forgot to check this topic. i modified ryanvm's one. forgot to mention.

XPize is very very good. Thank you. although i use flyakite's pack too.

sounds good...I don't really use it anyway.

haha yes i was wondering where the action went as well.. Fridge, i have used your scripts to produce a working installation. Thanks. now i need to remove the removal of themes and hibernation support.

here you go. with icons modded. trying this out now not sure if it works yet though.

hey erm i have been using your download. you might want to know that it logs into podcasts and the itunes music store with your account, rikgale@hotmail.com.

wonder how far we'll be able to slim it down to...

music - soulseek. [quality, and has many obscure stuff.] everything else [anime, sometimes, if i can find them, complete albums, programs, isos, etc] - bittorrent [using Azureus]

there's a WHQL-disabling trick somewhere. I'm very unsure about this kinda stuff. Try searching.

is it possible to have an option to run it silently? [no display, no buttons]

:bump: any updates? would like to use this with my WPI too.

isn't "moron" in "french id***."

yea same here. need a mirror. or could someone msn it to me pls? [heh irony]

haha yea i think the .msi refrences the .exe files.

hmm that's weird. not too sure. oh and after i extract the .exe i have setup.exe, pcc.exe and the msi in the folder. just to let you know.
