Installing iTunes with wine

[Sally29]

Hi all,

I have downloaded wine to run iTunes with Linux Mint Isadora 9, and I checked the "allowed to" box, but then as nothing happened I tried through the terminal and here is what I get :

$ cd /home/sally/T�l�chargements
$ wine iTunes64Setup.exe
Trying to load PE image for unsupported architecture (AMD-64)
err:process:create_process starting 64-bit process L"Z:\\home\\sally\\T\00e9l\00e9chargements\\iTunes64Setup.exe" not supported on this platform
wine: Mauvais format EXE pour Z:\home\sally\T�l�chargements\iTunes64Setup.exe

I will translate the french words :
'T�l�chargements' is actually 'Téléchargements', and it mean "downloads"
'Mauvais format EXE pour' means 'wrong exe format for'

Do you think it has something to do with the �l� ??? How can I change the codepage ?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Sally

Just to let you know I moved the .exe file into another folder without any weird sign (such as �) and I still got the same response.
Thanks

You seem to have answered your ow ? < Are you trying to use a 64 bit download on a 32 bit system?

Hey,

I looked around a bit, and it seems like lots of people have trouble with the 64-bit version of i-tunes in linux.

I also tried installing the 64-bit version without any luck, got the same unresponsiveness when running the exe -file, and then same message when trying to install through terminal.

I then tried the 32-bit version, wine installed it but it wouldn't run. There might be some way to get it working since it did get installed.
