I downloaded itunessetup.exe from the apple site and put it in the home folder
I rightclick/run with WINE and it opens a tab/program/rectangle at the bottom (panel, I think it's called) that is titled "wine windows program loader" when I click on it, nothing happens and it stays minimized. after a few moments, it goes away and i'm back to square one.
HEEELPPP
