UPDATED 15th Jan 2006 : Added iTunes Version 6.0.2.23

Here is the latest version of iTunes, with quicktime removed as before for those who use the QT alternative. I have also completely stripped out all language files except english, so it's not suitable for any other languages. Tested with the latest version of QT-Alt.

Important : iTunes Version 6.0.2.23 needs QT 7.0.4 or greater (or the latest QT-Alt). This must currently be installed before iTunes is installed, otherwise you will get a (non fatal but annoying for unattended installs) error. Version 5.0.1 Will work with any 7.x.x version, and QT can be installed before or after iTunes. The latest version of QT-Alternative is also compatible with both iTunes 5 & 6.

Edit : It seems the silent install method hides the QT error, so you can install the Silent Installer version without ANY QT installed and it will not fail. Just remember to install QT or QT-alt before trying to run it.

I have stopped using RapidShare for the new version, since some people have problems with that, so both 7z and silent installs are now stored on MegaUpload.

Note, for the silent install this time I have used a custom installer 'stub' to replace the batch file (so no cmd box visible or flashing). Please let me know if anyone has any problems. I will eventually release a util that will run cmd/bat files silently without compiling them, specifically for use in silent installers.

I will state once again, if you un-install any previous versions of iTunes, ALWAYS reboot before installing the new versions - this causes 99% of all problems with this release (and the original apple installer). Thanks

Standard Versions.
Version 6.0.2.23: Get it from MegaUpload or RapidShare- 7z file, 8,309,937 Bytes.

Version 5.0.1: Get it from Rapidshare - 7z file, 7217055 Bytes.

Silent Versions.
Version 6.0.2.23 : From Megaupload or RapidShare
(Installs for All users, adds Desktop Shortcut, iTunes is not made default media player)

Version 5.0.1 : From RapidShare (Provided by RikGale)

Note : the 7z version is not a silent installation, just 'slimmed-down'. If you want a silent install of this version, use the one above.

As usual, let me know of any problems please.

RogueSpears seems to work fine with my 4gb nano, I should be getting a 60gb video soon so I'll test with that too... just gotta wait on freepay to send me my free one

Problem is that I didn't want it without Quicktime, I want it with.

umm well the whole point of this topic is to install WITHOUT quicktime because its bloated crap... i suggest roguespears quicktime alternative silent installer, this works perfectly with his silent itunes.

Thanks alot, that works like a charm. I decided to replace the iTunes I got from the original poster and use this instead because I was getting the .msi pop-p occasionally when installing additional software.

any chance the installer can be updated?

Great work on stripping out quicktime from the iTunes 5 and 6 installers. Is there any way we can get this magic for iTunes 7?

Have you tried the one from sharks file repository .

Delete the selected row:



Now, iTunes (7) installer don't check for quicktime component. So, you can keep only iTunes.msi
