How to silently install iTunes using SCCM

The following steps show how to create a silent install package for iTunes, for distribution with a software distribution tool like SCCM.

The installer will install either the 32-bit or 62-bit version as required.

Having troubles? Check out the example package itunesSilentInstall.zip

Step 1: Download EXE and extract MSI installers

Note: you will need to have 7-zip (or similar) installed to extract MSI installers from the EXE files.

1. Go to the iTunes download page and download both the 32-bit and 62-bit EXE installers
2. Individually, right-click on the EXE installer and choose 7-Zip -> Extract to “iTunes64Setup\”
3. 
4. You will now have two folders with all of the MSI files.

Step 2: Create the package files

1. Create a new folder and copy the following MSI files into it
   • AppleApplicationSupport.msi
   • AppleApplicationSupport64.msi
   • AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi
   • AppleMobileDeviceSupport6464.msi
   • AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
   • iTunes.msi
   • iTunes64.msi
2. Create a new text file  – name it install.cmd
3. Save the following into install.cmd

@echo off
REM ravinderjaiswal.com
cls
echo --------------------------------------------------------
echo .
echo . Installing iTunes - please wait
echo . This window will close once installed


REM Install software updater -- OPTIONAL - remove command if not required
start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi" /qn /norestart


REM Silent install for 64-bit
if defined ProgramFiles(x86) start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AppleApplicationSupport64.msi" /qn /norestart
if defined ProgramFiles(x86) start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AppleMobileDeviceSupport6464.msi" /qn /norestart
if defined ProgramFiles(x86) start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0iTunes64.msi" /qn /norestart
if defined ProgramFiles(x86) exit


REM Silent install for 32-bit
start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AppleApplicationSupport.msi" /qn /norestart
start /wait msiexec /i "%~dp0AppleApplicationSupport.msi" /qn /norestart
