amon91 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I had this idea about a month ago when iTunes 10 came out and shortly thereafter I started writing up this little app that aims to streamline the bloated Apple-provided installer. Today, I’m proud to introduce (and release) the first public beta of this app. It lets you select which exact apps you want to install and I think it's overall less bloated than the default installer. I'll be updating this often in order to incorporate your feedback, so keep it coming! There's no other requirement than .NET Framework 4. At the moment 64-bit editions aren't supported yet, they will with the next refresh. Beta refresh is out, with 64-bit support Download Changelog: 10-12-2010 - Beta refresh: 64-bit support added and fixed a few UI bugs.

hairbawl87 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 iTunes is full of bloat so this is much needed. Too bad for us 64-bit ers :cry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/944842-simplified-itunes-installer/#findComment-593253178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemperingPick Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Can you get rid of Ping too? :shifty: Nice tool though. Sucks about the 64bit.

scaramonga Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Can you get rid of Ping too? :shifty: Nice tool though. Sucks about the 64bit. iTunes switchless already does this ;) x86 & x64 installers also :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/944842-simplified-itunes-installer/#findComment-593253226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amon91 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks for the feedback. Just a heads up, I plan to release a 64-bit-compatible version tomorrow, and I'll post it here.

+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted October 12, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted October 12, 2010 And, out of interest, what happens when a new version of iTunes is released? Does your app still work with it? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/944842-simplified-itunes-installer/#findComment-593255594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amon91 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 And, out of interest, what happens when a new version of iTunes is released? Does your app still work with it? For now I'll have to update it, which I expect to do within a few hours. I might get it to download from Apple's website and extract automatically later on.
