One-Core-API version:3.0.5 Windows Version: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 32-bit What works:

iTunes launches
A search bar, sometimes What doesn't work
iTunes's GUI fails to load, just showing a glitched window. I cannot do any more testing because of this Workarounds:
Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes have to be copied from another computer, the installers do not work on XP/S2003.

With the latest canary build, it is a little more functional but still not usable.

Skulltrail192 commented 5 months ago

What system? VM or real hardware?

This error seem caused to lack newer openGL support. You can try with native D3D package from OCA Extra https://github.com/shorthorn-project/One-Core-API-Extras

With that I get the error saying the procedure entry poinnt CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in the dynamic link library dxgi.dll.

Regarding iTunes being unable to be installed on XP, it is because beginning iTunes 12.9.4, the Windows Installer version requirement has been upped to 5.0, and there isn't even a redistributable for it unlike 4.5, which makes it impossible to install any version newer than 12.9.3. I am curious if Windows Installer 5.0 could be added to One-Core-API.

Investigations show that Windows installer 5.0 always fails to communicate with IMsiServer. The error code is 0x80070725 and it's NOT an easy problem to solve.

To force the installer to work with MSI4.5, open the .MSI with Orca, go to "Summary Information" and edit this value with 405:

Not all installers will work that way

You need use D3d Native Runtime. However, has some issues with missing strings....
