iTunes for Windows but not for me.

Couldn’t wait to try iTunes on my VAIO since others like MusicMatch are good but not great. Download, fire up the installer and…

…Wait!, nope “1608: Couldn’t do something-or-other”. Looks to be a fairly common problem with InstallShield on Windows. Unfortunately, none of the solutions found after about 3 hours of Googling have helped. Back to using “foobar2000 for now.

Aside: There’s a good writeup of iTMS good and bad at Page 1 (10/2003)” class=“external”>Ars Technica
