Hello,
there is a problem with the new version of the tis-itunes package.
The following error is returned: `msi file AppleApplicationSupport.msi not found in package`.
In the 64-bit package, the AppleApplicationSupport.msi is not present even though it is referenced in the `to_install_bins`.
Thank you,
Best regards.

Hello,
Yes, I noticed that too. Apple made some changes to iTunes, and I was able to modify the package accordingly and greatly improve it in the process.
The new package is available on the Store.
Best regards,
Jimmy

Yoann,

Hello,
I don't use any devices.
I've encountered a problem installing the tis-itunes in a virtualized environment: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
After installing the package, when launching the software, the following message appears: "The software required to communicate with iPods is not properly installed. Do you want iTunes to attempt to repair it?"
I haven't connected any devices.
Sincerely.

Hello,
You're getting this error because you're in a virtualized environment. Since iTunes is an audio media player, it displays an error because it doesn't detect a sound card on the system. This isn't a bug in the package; the machines on your network won't have this error.
Regards,
Jimmy

Good morning,
By removing the following lines from the function
installI no longer get the message when launching iTunes:
Code: Select all
# Modifying default startup mode of Apple services
if get_service_start_mode('Apple Mobile Device Service') != 'Manual':
set_service_start_mode('Apple Mobile Device Service', 'Manual')
if get_service_start_mode('iPod Service') != 'Disabled':
set_service_start_mode('iPod Service', 'Disabled')
Sincerely

Good morning,
My mistake, I misinterpreted your error as a very similar one. Then I was also able to confirm the one you mentioned.
I'm switching the two iTunes-related services to "Manual" in the package, which should resolve the issue.
Code: Select all
# Modifying default startup mode of Apple services
if get_service_start_mode('Apple Mobile Device Service') != 'Manual':
set_service_start_mode('Apple Mobile Device Service', 'Manual')
if get_service_start_mode('iPod Service') != 'Manual':
set_service_start_mode('iPod Service', 'Manual')
Sincerely,
Jimmy

Hello,
Yes, it does work with both services set to "Manual".
Thank you,
