HT203175 How do I install iTunes on Windows Server 2003?!? I get an error every time!!

I am having trouble installing any version of ITunes 10.5 or later
on my Windows 2003 Server PC. I receive the following error
every time I try to install it...
"Apple Mobile Device Support requires that your computer is running Windows XP SP2 or newer"
I anyone has had this same problem I would appreciate any help!!!
Thank you!!!

I've googled my problem with many hits stating Itunes can indeed be installed
by making changes to the msi packages and I believe a few
registry hacks. It sounds like it can be done, but before experimenting with
those suggestions I thought looking to the Apple community on the official site
might glean a better remedy.
I'm just surprised Apple doesn't support any Windows Server applications
even though Windows Server 2003 came out after Windows XP,
(Server 2003 - 2003____XP - 2001)

    With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

  • How do I install itunes with Windows 7?

    how do I install itunes with Windows 7?  I always get a Windows Installer error or administrator error __

    Have tried: download but do not install iTunes, then turn off virus protection and firewall, restart computer, login as admin, then run the iTunes insallation.  After it installs, restart virus protection and firewall and logout and back in as standard user.
    Windows leaves installers running or still resident which conflict with the iTunes installer.

    Hi there Br0x,
    You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • How to use itunes for windows server 2003

    how to install itunes for windows server 2003

    Purchased music from the iTUnes store is in a "AAC protected" format. It can only be used in iTUnes. Any music you buy online these days will have some protection on it where you can only use it in there program.
    The way around this is to burn the purchased songs to a CD in iTUnes. Then goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab and set your import settings to something like MP3.
    Now put the burned CD back in the PC and "Re"import it into iTunes so its imported in a MP3 format so you can use it in any program. Before importing it tho you need to manually add the name of the song, artist album ect ect

  • Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

    Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • How to Expand the Screen of Windows Server 2003 on VMware Server 2 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. Because Windows 7 is not compatible to be installed PeopleSoft PIA, I have to install VMware Server 2 and then install Windows Server 2003, that is compatible with PIA, on the virtual machine.
    But when I open Windows Server 2003 on the virtual machine, the screen of Win2K3 is very small, and its size is about 1/4 of the screen of my computer screen. This is not comfortable to work for a long time.
    Does any folks know how to expand the screen of Windows Server 2003 on VMware Server 2 virtual machine so that its size covers the entire screen of my computer ?
    Thanks in advance !
    Lucy

    Did you already installed the VMWare tools onto your VMWare guest OS ? Generally, it helps a lot to be able to redefine a larger screen definition.

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one which has already been described is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

    I had the same issue which is now solved. For your information, the following procedure was successful:
    Check permissions within the Installer folder. To do this, follow these steps.
    1. Click on Start and in the Start Search bar > type in > c: /windows/installer.
    2. Right click on c: /windows/installer at the top under programs and click properties.
    3. Click on the security tab > Verify if System and Administrator account has Full access permissions.
    Note : I ran into problem with locating the C:\windows\installer directory. For some reason Windows Explorer wouldn't show it even though I don't have it hidden. I ended up using the ExplorerXP application to locate the directory. ExplorerXP is available at http://www.explorerxp.com/
