Hi,

on another site I foung a solution on how to get working itunes on my Server 2003 R2 with latest SPs.
The solution is as follows:

After installing the OS got the the Apple Quicktime website and make sure the quicktime plug-in is installed for IE. Then download Quicktime + iTunes (combined installer) and run it.
After than if the ipodservice.exe fails to start I used Your above workaround and get everything running perfect.

Download Quicktime;
– Download iTunes64setup.exe, was not very easy, I used a file mirror website to find the link on Apple’s site;
– Download ORCA;

Done with downloads. Look -> nothing on my pockets nor my hands, now let’s do the magic:

- Install ORCA;
– Using Winrar (last version) or 7-Zip open and extract the files inside iTunes64setup.exe to a folder (ALL files, not only iTunes like I did at first try);
– Edit iTunes.msi with ORCA. I had a problem changing the launch condition, it wasn’t enough (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;

Now to the easy part:

- Install AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi;
– Install Quicktime you have downloaded;
– Install iTunes.
– Enjoy your nice product without buying a new Windows license

Oops Aliasian, that’s new. All the stuff I do have are 32bit, thus no idea for that one.

I followed all the steps above, and all was going well until I tried to change the DEP settings. At that point i got the following:

You can not set DEP attributes on 64-bit executables.

What options do i have now?
