iTunes 11.0.2.26 x86 custom silent installer

iTunes is a free application for your Mac or PC. It lets you organize and play digital music and video on your computer.
It can automatically download new music, app, and book purchases across all your devices and computers.
And it’s a store that has everything you need to be entertained. Anywhere. Anytime.

Customization:
User can choose which components they want to install using an answer file iTunes11CustomPref.ini
Hence to a certain degree, customization is possible.
Customization is base on this article "The unofficial guide to installing iTunes 10 without bloatware".
Be sure to read all the 3 pages.

For iTunes v11.0.2.26, there is no QuickTime and MobileMe bundled.

Some information about all the various iTunes components.

The WinRAR SFX (iTunes11.0.2.26x86Si.exe) contains 8 files.

AppleApplicationSupport.msi AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi AppleSoftwareUpdate.msiBonjour.msi iTunes11xscript.exe iTunes.msiiTunes11CustomPref.ini Uninstall_iTunes11x.vbs

General description of the file:
1) iTunes11xscript.exe - Main autoit installer that drives the overall installation.
It reads the answer file and install accordingly.
2) iTunes11CustomPref.ini - This is an answer file for your customization.
You basically indicate what components you wish to install by indicating a value of '1' or '0'.
Generally, 1 means 'I want' , 0 means 'I do not want'

3) Uninstall_iTunes11x.vbs - This is iTunes uninstaller script using vbscript. Codes are taken from the net and modified by me.
It simply uninstall everything in logical order according to some recommended guides (Article HT1925). This is an unattended uninstaller.
Note: For every component removed, it will display a 4-sec timed out message.

Uninstall_iTunes11x.vbs is copied to %ProgramFiles%\Common Files
When you have uninstall iTunes and its all components, you can manually delete this file.
source1 , source2
Hence you do not need to go to Add/Remove panel to uninstall one-by-one.

Warning message will be display after starting iTunes if Bonjour is not installed.
Base on some of gathered tweaks on the net, some simple tweak are also included.

Lastly, if you do not need e.g Bonjour.msi, then you can remove Bonjour.msi from iTunes11.0.2.26x86Si.exe.
Also just indicate Bonjour=0 in iTunes11CustomPref.ini. This will reduce the size of the installer.
It is the same for AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi.

I am unlikely to update this package frequently. So just use winrar to update the package at your end if new iTunes version is out.

The aim is to have some control over the installation process. Not elaborate one.

Just a short note: Try to slipstream iTunes last, after all 3rd party web browsers are installed as it detects the presence of other web browsers before it add some files/registry to your machine.

Thanks, hope to hear from you.

By the way, tested on English Xp only.

[luis]

Hi Geej, I tried your Itunes installer removing bonjour and works perfect in a XP in Spanish, I used for now the silent installer, thanks.

[Geej]

Thanks for the feedback luis.

Nice to know it works even on non-English OS.

[Geej]

Updated to 10.6.1.7 plus script finetune and added 1 more tweak "NoMP3AssociationWithiTunes=0" (see last section of iTunesCustomPref.ini)

To make the installer less version specific, following rename are done.

Rename iTunes105xscript.exe to iTunes10xscript.exe

Rename Uninstall_iTunes105x.vbs to Uninstall_iTunes10x.vbs. Also modify script such that the actual version is display in the uninstall title prompt.

Thanks Geej, to test it with the new tweak

New set of answer file, iTunes11CustomPref.ini to change your preference.

Default value are as posted. Please make your preference by changing to 1 or 0

No problem. But I am unlikely to update every version update as this iTunes addon upload is rather big at 83MB. But if you got problem with autoit script, feel free to let me know. Perhaps you can update those .msi files at your end when there is new iTunes release.

By the way, also works on win7 x86

[luis]

ok, from the previous version, 10, I've been updating Itunes for personal use and I have not had any problem, all working fine, thanks Geej.

HEllo, I was able to edit iTunes11CustomPref.ini by extracting the cab file, however, I don't know how to re-zip it into a cab, so, will re-zipping it into a .zip file work anyway? Sorry for noob question!!! (I though about just changing the extension to .cab as well)

 

Edit: Nevermind, it worked fine as 7z. Althought 7zip didn't let me edit iTunes11CustomPref.ini so I had to do it with Winrar, and then, zip it.

You can also recab back as .RAR since you already use Winrar to edit.

 

If you want .cab, 2 these tools can make your life easlier. Both use "sendto' menu to make .cab
Cab Maker V 3.3
DX tool
