Why are we interested in iTunes? There seem to be plenty of alternatives available.
Or are we talking about ipod compatibility specifically, as there are no viable alternatives to iTunes for syncing.

Hi Christopher,

What needs to get done for iTunes to work?
v7.6 basically works if you set windows version to windows vista,

find out why the installer fails to create the 'Bonjour service' registry stuff properly.
I submitted 8 or so stub dll's to wine-patches that make iTunes v7.6 actually start after installation. It checks for the dll's and silently fails if they don't exist.
I haven't done any further testing yet though, but it looks like it
is
probably a small installer bug that prevents itunes v7.6 from installing without first manually creating those registry keys.
The Bonjour service depends on the tcpip service. As far as I know, we don't provide that service. What registry keys are you referring to?
Keys like: In HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Bonjour Service: ImagePath="C:...." Start=0x00000002 Description="....."
Those are not created during install. If I manually add them the 'bonjour service' will report success on start, but actually crash right after. However it is enough to satisfy the itunes installer. Without those it will report failure without even attempting to start the service. :-)
hmm according to the logs, the service is installed just fine. You'd get an err otherwise. The dependencies aren't listed, but since we don't have the tcpip service anyway, it won't make a difference (though that might be why it crashes when you get the service to start.)
