　　我操作系统是windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2，下载iTunes9 发现不支持win2003。经过搜索，最后还是找到了解决办法。

　　这里我给出原文
　　
　　For some reason, Apple has stopped supporting iTunes on Windows 2003and changed their MSI installer to fail. However if you still prefer torun iTunes on your Windows 2003 Server, you can still modify the iTunesinstaller by using installer tools such as Microsoft Orca(see Microsoft’s Tutorial on how to modify MSI files) or InstEd. Using InstEd, I was able to install iTunes 9 on my Windows 2003 machine.

• First download the iTunes installer from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
  
• Next use WinZip or WinRar to extract the contents of iTunesSetup.exe to a folder.
  
• Now comes the difficult part, you will need to check each of the.MSI files with InstEd or Orca. Open each file one at a time and lookfor the LaunchConditionsettings. You will need to remove this parameter and its value: ((VersionNT=501 And ServicePackLevel>=2) OR VersionNT>501). Once you do that just Save and Exit.
  
• With the modified MSI files, now start installing them one at attime. Leave the iTunes.msi for last though. The SetupAdmin.exe can beignored. You do not need to run that one.
  

　　If this was a perfect world, you would now be able to launch iTunes9 on your machine, but since it is far from perfect, you might bestaring at this error message:

　　The iPod Service service failed to start due to the following error:The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timelyfashion.

　　To complete the install, leave the error up on the screen and golaunch Services.msc, find the iPod Service and open its properties. Youwill need to add an account with admin rights and then save thechanges. Now click Retry on the error and see if it works.
　　这里简略翻译下：

• 首先从http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ 下载iTunes 安装程序
  
• 接下去使用WinZip或者WinRar解压iTunesSetup.exe到一个文件夹
  
• 接下去使用Orca分别打开文件夹的每个.msi文件,并寻找LaunchCondition设置。你需要移除 ((VersionNT=501 And ServicePackLevel>=2) OR VersionNT>501). 包括这个参数和它的值，然后退出保存。
  
• 在做完修改.MSi文件后，现在开始一个一个地安装MSi文件了。你可以忽略SetupAdmin.exe这个文件，它不需要执行。
  

　　在安装过程中，若出现iPodService.exe应用程序错误，请点击确定。或出现ipod服务没有权限执行或服务没有及时响应启动或控制请求，也请忽略，强制结束安装程序，不要让程序回滚。
　　
　　为了完成最后的安装，运行Services.msc，找到iPod服务，并打开它的属性，你需要添加一个管理员权限账号，并保持更改。现在重新启动服务，看看它是否可以运行。
