Zune on Windows XP Pro 64 bit

Written by Kostas Tzounopoulos

We have managed to install Zune software on Windows XP Professional 64 Bit. The software looks to work without problems. See a screenshot and Learn howto install it on your machine using our tutorial... Install the x64 Windows Media Player 11 (looks like Zune is basically a skinned version of WMP11). You need a genuine version of Win 64 to install WMP 11 (install it from Microsoft here: http://tinyurl.com/tcvck ). Install the zune software on a 32bit machine, go to c:\Program Files\Zune and get the Zune.inf driver file. Zune doesn't seem to actually have a binary driver, but instead customizes the one that comes with WMP11. Copy the zune.inf file and make the following changes: Replace: [Manufacturer] %MfgName%=Microsoft,NTx86 [Microsoft.NTx86] %Zune.DeviceDesc%=ZuneMTP, USB\MS_COMP_MTPZ With this: [Manufacturer] %MfgName%=Microsoft,NTAMD64 [Microsoft.NTAMD64] %Zune.DeviceDesc%=ZuneMTP, USB\MS_COMP_MTPZ Then you plug in your Zune, point the driver to the zune.inf file (you don't need any other files). It will complain about the driver not being signed because you messed with the inf file. Or you can just right click the file and select "install". xcopy the c:\Program Files\Zune directory from your x86 machine to the your c:\Program files (x86)\Zune dir on your 64 bit OS. regsrv all the DLLs in that directory. Press win+r, write cmd, on the command prompt that appears write: *cd "\Program Files (x86)\Zune"* (withe the " character at both ends) [press enter] for %f in (.dll) do regsvr32 %f* [press enter] About 25 dialog boxes will come up, press OK to all of them (some will be errors, but that's ok) Open windows explorer (win+e), go to c:\Program Files (x86)\Zune . Right click on Zune.exe and Send To -> Desktop (create shortcut). Run Zune! It will complain a bit the first time, but you should be able to sync and rip now.

EDIT2: The registry keys you had to replace had a tiny typo. It has been corected. Thanks APOLAUF for the tip. EDIT3: This trick works also with the v1.2 Zune Software.

I am happy about that, you cant even imagine how pissed I was to go home and find out that it wouldnt work on 64bit. I have to tell you, I truly dont understand why MS would release a product in such a purcarious competitive situation and not have it able to work smooth with 64bit. I wonder what what they are thinking, releasing an OS and then not supporting it with the majority of their own products....???? HUGE Thank you to the poster and/or the figure-outer of this hack! report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +1 Zune getting returned! written by Karen, January 03, 2007 We bought 2 of these before christmas as gifts (to each other). Finally got down to installing last night only to find that we have Media Center 2002 and it's not compatable. After searching for hours to find you can't upgrade (via Microsoft or Gateway) to 2005/2006 we've decided to return them & purchase another brand. Stupid why won't MS let you upgrade their software when it's required for another one of their offerings? stupid stupid report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +2 ... written by Devin, January 06, 2007 Just so everyone knows, you don't have to install the software on another computer first. You can run the installer to get the .msi file, zune.msi. Use a program called Lessmsierables to extract the msi file to the zune directory you want. Make the changes to the inf file in this directory, and use the steps above. This way people with only a single non XP pc can install it. I have confirmed that it does infact work well and have synched my stuff. Hope this helps someone else. report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 File Help written by Mark Cheng, January 07, 2007 My friend renamed a file in the zune folder. can some one please send me a list of all the files found in c:/program files/zune it would be alot of help. please send it to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 Have no 32bit System written by TechMech, January 12, 2007 Could anybody Upload the Installed Files.

The XP SP2 that I have installed apparently isn't good enough because my PC has Windows Media Center 2002. What a joke . . so basically have to buy a new notebook or desktop computer just to get the Zune to function.

I ensured the files are .wmv to test i plugged my zune back into the XP Pro laptop i did the inital install on, copied the video files from my x64 box and could sync them as guest. anyone have any ideas? oh before i forget, the changes to the .inf file weren't necessary for me ... all the text was already included when i opened it to edit it ... a 1.2 addition perhaps? rob report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 Awesome!

I was really upset when I couldn't use my Zune on my XP x64 machines; it is unreal that this scenario is unsupported. I am glad that you guys were able to assemble a workaround. This website saved me from returning 2 useless bricks to the store. However, the Zune Marketplace is still broken in XP x64. Boo! I can't sign in, and any sort of browsing of the marketplace does nothing beyond displaying a little spinning icon. Lack of access to the Marketplace is a real downer. Between that issue, and not being able to use my device as a hard-drive, I am seriously regretting my purchase. My 4-year-old Rio Carbon has better functionality. report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 Perfection written by Chris, July 15, 2007 After doing this tutorial I am successfully able to use the Zune software correctly. I can rip, burn, sync everything. My first few tries didn't work out so well, so I cleared my Zune folder and tried again, it worked. The bad thing about this tutorial though, is that it leaves room for NO mistakes, so look at this VERY carefully and follow it exact. report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 NONE written by Randy, July 27, 2007 The Zune Sucks PERIOD!!! Too much hassle in getting it set up on your computer especially older(windows 98/2000/ME) and non-windows based computers(macbooks). Microsoft wants U to buy more of there products in order to work Zune. Why isn't ipods like this??? It works on most every system to date even its updates. Yes there may be problems with the actual ipod(which they replace if still under warranty), but nooooo hastles other then that. report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +2 iPod Not any Better written by Wilson, August 03, 2007 I can't use the iPod on my x64 based OS either, so at least with this I have a work around.

It will complain about the driver not being signed because you messed with the inf file. Or you can just right click the file and select "install"." is this still on the 32 system? what driver am i pointing to the .inf file? When I plug in the zune, nothing really happens report abuse vote down vote up Votes: +0 ... written by Zune-Online.com, August 14, 2007 @ Stephen: Your Windows will ask you for a Zune driver, an internal windows program which helps your system to communicate with Zune. It will give you the option to select this driver and you have to select the "zune.inf" file as the "driver". In your case that nothing happens, on your x64 Windows create the "zune.inf" file the article says, right click it and select "install".

And when i run Zune app, it starts up and shows its window and then boom, error reporting and exit. The x64 pack is 2mb larger. 35mb.
