Under Win7 build 7048 I did the following for my iPod Touch:

1. DL iTunes x64 from Apple and extracted with Winrar
2. Installed the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.MSI
3. Installed Quicktime Alt 2.8.0 (put compatability add-on on but probably don't have to)
4. DL the Switchless x64 from the front page link and installed
5. Ran iTunes
6. Plugged my iPod Touch in and good to go!

Main post updated. The new 8.1.1.10 switchless installers are already available at my site.

thanks elajua!

Yes, thank you.

elajua, thank you very much!
I wish to ask, is this possible to install to directory different than Program Files\iPod? I unpacked the installer and tried to install through .msi, but the installation has ceased immediately

The iPod service installs in Program File\iPod. iTunes default installation folder is Program Files\iTunes.

You can try to use the INSTALLDIR parameter to change the default iTunes installation folder.

Run something like this: itunes.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\My iTunes" /qb /norestart

Hi just want to say great work with this installer, and many thanks to all the developers' who have invested their time and effort to making alternatives to annoying appz like Quicktime and Realtime. Apple are no better than Microsoft, in fact in many ways they are worse, when they force us to install so much unnecessary rubbish and try to monopolize the market. There is so much greed within these corporations. I received the iphone as a gift, so had to install iTunes, but was determined to find a way to not install Quicktime.

For those who are still unsure, this is is the order you install the software:


1. Install Quicktime Alternative lite 2.80
2. Install Itune add-on 2.70 (I understand this is now not necessary with the 2.80 version of quicktime alternative, although I did install it and it did no harm)
3. Install the Switchless iTunes
4. Install AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (if you have IPhone - to acquire this file, download iTunes from the Apple website, and extract the contents using WinRAR or 7zip)

hope this helps.

Sounds like you've done a great job!
Unfortunately I'm unable to test it, since I can't find the 7.7 version anywhere
Shark's msfn repository root is forbidden as in 403, and I can't find previous versions on Elajua's website.

Can they still be obtained from somewhere? anywhere?

Many thanks in advance.

Why don't you try the latest version?

For some reason I thought the 8.x versions of iTunes were only compatible with 2.1+ iPod Touch/iPhone software.
Seems I was wrong, though .

I was already "pretending" to run firmware 2.2.1 on my iTouch through the FWChanger app (while I'm still running 2.0.2), and your iTunes 8 version works like a charm. So yes, I can finally confirm you did a great job!

Thanks for the hard work, and sorry for bothering you.

Cheers,
Robin.

No problem. I'm glad to know it is working with your iTouch.

Thankyou SO MUCH to all those who have helped me successfully instal iTunes 8 without the dreaded Bonjour. Well done, guys.

[legace]

I don't plan to make one, but you can see if the MSI setup for Mobile Support installs other things. If it doesn't, you can make your own SFX installers.

Maybe i will take look at it but i don't have the time to test properly.

[hannubys]

I will do that

You can extract the switchless installer you are using and add the Mobile Device Supporty MSI and repack it to use one installer only.

Hi guys!

I need to know how to install iTunes switchless to another partition than C: ? Because C ist my system drive, I don't want to install any third party programs there (these go to partition F:).

Thanks in advance
