itunes with windows xp guest

Post by dreamz »

i'm running virtualbox 4.1.8 with a windows xp sp3 guest on a fully updated arch linux system.

i'm trying to use the latest version of itunes (v10.5.3) to manage my iphone. i've managed to set everything up, but when i try to load itunes, nothing happens. i can see in the task manager that itunes.exe gets loaded, but then it quickly vanishes.

(incidentally, v10.4.1 loads fine, but my iphone requires v10.5 or higher.)

any ideas? thanks.

Have you checked the Event Viewer inside the Guest? That's the first thing you should check.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.
Howto: Install Linux Guest Additions
Howto: Use Shared Folders on Linux Guest
See the Tutorials and FAQ section at the top of the Forum for more guides.
Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.
E.g. install guest additions site:forums.virtualbox.org
