Zune team officially supports Zune software on English Windows XP SP2 32 bit, Windows Media Center 2005 and Windows Vista. But the community has gone beyond it:

MCE 2002: How to install the Zune Software

Since now the answer was that you can't do it, because Zune only supports the MCE 2005 edition. Here is a guide with everything you will need to install it on Windows Media Center 2002 or 2004 Edition.

Non-English Windows XP

You need to create two user groups which are missing from the machine and add your username in them.

Windows XP 64 bit

A manual installation is the solution. You get the Zune directory from c:\Program Files  from a 32 bit installation, copy it on 64 bit XP and with some magic you are done.

EDIT: Zune software is now officially supporting Vista, but this is how we were doing this in the past:

Windows Vista (32 bit)

Zune team has announced Vista will be supported when released for consumers in January. But Zune Software already works on Zune by semi-manual patching it. If you are the do it yourself guy, see the manual way.

Windows Vista (64 bit)

This works like the XP x64 hack. After doing that you should set the Zune shortcut's compatibility to Win XP.
