iTunes on Vista 64-bit
There are problems installing iTunes 7.5 on a 64-bit Vista after Quicktime gets installed successfully. The problem could be because iTunes wants to install in an unsecured setting that is why they want VBScript to be enabled.
To enable VBScript simply type “regsvr32 vbscript.dll” in the command console. Just make sure you run the console in administrator elevated privileges. Also, make sure you disable it after installing iTunes with “regsvr32 /u vbscript.dll” command.
After enabling the VBScript, issue the following commands in the command prompt:
1. mkdir “c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime”
2. mklink /d “c:\Program Files\QuickTime” “c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime”
That should solve your problem.

itunes is made by apple for for macs, and that is what it will work the best on,
the only reason they made itunes for windows is to be able to sell ipods to windows users.
I don’t think they are to worried about making it compatible with vista.
microsoft sucks,
GET A MAC!!!
