Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? I've tried

  • Extracting the packages and running the .msi directly
  • Running in compatibility mode (assorted flavours)
  • Standard install
  • I've also tried the full download as well as the version that downloads during the install

I'm pretty much out of ideas.

I came up with a workaround...
1. Install Windows 7 on a Hyper-V VM
2. Install Zune on VM 3. Install http://www.eltima.com/products/usb-over-ethernet/ (I also tried http://www.usb-over-network.com/usb-over-network-download.html but it wouldn't recognise my phone)
4. Connect my phone to my laptop and configure USB over Ethernet between the laptop and the VM
5. Setup WiFi syncing between Zune software and my phone

It is not supported on Microsoft Windows Server operating systems...perhaps run a virtual machine on Windows Server 2008 R2 and install it in there?

Supported Zune Software 4.7 operating systems:

Windows 7; Windows Vista; Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update Rollup 2; Windows XP Service Pack 3
