| 568252 | 2007-07-12 08:03:00 | For Windows with numerous bug fixes. www.apple.com Is it just me or was there always a Win2K as well as a XP/Vista version on their download site?? |

| 568253 | 2007-07-12 08:05:00 | iTunes has always supported Win2K, it has just started supporting Vista more recently, and yes it always shows up like that on their web page. Edit: I normally go to this page www.apple.com |

| 568254 | 2007-07-13 01:54:00 | I would recommend not upgrading to this version. The iphone isn't avaliable in NZ, so people don't need the update, and all it does is make the software slower on windows computers as it has added about 20MB to the download size. | robbyp (2751) | ||
| 568255 | 2007-07-13 05:57:00 | winmacguy, you're wrong. The mac version of iTunes is just as bloated (file size wise) as the windows one, doubly so since they're universal binaries which have support for both Intel and PPC macs. iTunes sucks because the iTunes updates are usually 'important' compared to the previous version and they come in at full install, almost 50MB each files which is such bloat. 7 versions in and it still doesn't do incremental updates (or whatever its called). I recommend Floola (www.floola.com) to those who don't know of it. |

| 568256 | 2007-07-13 10:12:00 | almost 50MB each files which is such bloat. 7 versions in and it still doesn't do incremental updates (or whatever its called).What is the point when you are talking about such a small application. It takes less than 5 minutes (less than 2 minutes for many people) to download 50MB (the Mac version is 30MB because it doesn't include the latest QuickTime updates, which are technically separate so it isn't really fair to include them in the iTunes file size). doubly so since they're universal binaries which have support for both Intel and PPC macs.That's not quite the case. They are larger but just because it is universal doesn't mean the size is doubled. In saying that, I can't be bothered downloading such a small update considering I'm not having any issues with iTunes and can't be bothered running Aqua4iTunes again to get ride of the unsightly new theme. |

| 568257 | 2007-07-13 22:14:00 | And there's still a prob with this version. When I go to install it, it says: There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Stuffed if I know, what that means. It still installs, and works (well syncing works) anyway. |

| 568259 | 2007-07-13 23:21:00 | It looks like this Apple Software update msi file is screwed. I extracted the main file and ran this file. It said the same thing. I can live without this install. Altho I dont think this is the main file for this anyway. Run it it says its not valid. |

| 568260 | 2007-07-13 23:24:00 | It seems that there are a few users who are looking at running version 7.2 due to the errors in 7.3.1 | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 568261 | 2007-07-14 01:56:00 | Hmm now I think I know why. Don't uninstall 7.2 before u install 7.3. I think this error that was coming up, was because I uninstalled 7.2. Just install 7.3 over 7.2, and it shouldnt come up with any errors when u install it. |
