Thanks! You saved me from getting rather upset with Microsoft.

I have followed your steps but Zune is crashing when it starts up (the GUI appears and then a few seconds later I get 'Microsoft Zune has stopped working' -> Debug / Close Program).

Are there any pre-reqs that need to be run before installing Zune?

No joy for me. I extracted the files, but running the MSI grinds for a couple of seconds and then terminates with no errors or other messages. Haven't looked for the logs yet...

I had the same issue at first with the MSI backing out of the install. Here's how I got around it (running Windows Server 2008 Standard, 32-bit):

1. Open a command-prompt with "Run as admininistrator".

2. Navigate to the folder containing "zune-x86.msi" (should be in "/x86/packages/").

3. Simply type in zune-x86.msi, hit enter, and let it run.

Hope this helps.

Don, your workaround seems to have done it for me as well, running the Zune 4 software on server 2008 R2 x64.
