Zune install problems on PC without internet... Zune Bus Enumerator?

[HawksFan]

My computer that I want to install Zune software on does not have internet access. It is XP, and it does have SP2 on it. When I try to install the Zune software, I get this message:

System Updates Required

Zune software installation can't continue until you've installed one or more
of the required updates.

Windows Update must be updated to run this program.

After looking around on the net, I was told of a way to bypass windows update by using winRAR to install the software. I followed all of the instructions listed, and was greeted with this message during installation:

Service 'Zune Bus Enumerator' (ZuneBusEnum) Failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

Seeing as I am an administrator on my PC, I have no idea what that means. When I retry, the same message appears, and when I cancel, I see this:

Custom action 12:44:41.890: Operation 'Remove Driver' has finished with result 0x80004005.

Long post, I know, but any help with my problem would be appreciated.

I was having a similar problem and have found a solution. For the benefit of anyone reading this thread after me...

First, don't download the zune software from zune.net ( zunesetuppkg-x86.exe    <-- do not get this ), instead, you want to get it from the microsoft download center. Here is the link :

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6136349f-2b32-4946-83b5-a09775531ef4&DisplayLang=en

This gives you the file "ZunePackage30.exe". This is what you want to open with WinRar. Inside it has more files than does the exe file from zune.net. You will need these extra files.

Now, do the following, taken from a post by Ricardo Dawkins, so a big thanks to him. His info was for zune software 2.1. I have followed it for version 3.0.

After you open ZunePackage30.exe with WinRar...

3. Go to x86\packages folder
4. Run dotnetfx.exe
5. Run wmfdist11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe
6. Run windowsxp-kb915865-v11-x86-enu.exe
7. Run zune-x86.msi


And now the zune software should install without an internet connection, or at least it did for me. Good luck.
