Problem using iTunes

[blackbottom]

Hi all
I just installed iTunes using winehq. The istallation was without problem.
But now: when I run iTunes, it starts but the screen shows all the menu item in colors "black in black", so I cant use it.
When I start it with "wine iTunes" I found lots of entries likes this:

0358:fixme:combase:RoGetActivationFactory (L"Windows.Management.Deployment.PackageManager", {00000035-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}, 000000000041D7F0): semi-stub
0358:err:combase:RoGetActivationFactory Failed to find library for L"Windows.Management.Deployment.PackageManager"
0358:fixme:combase:RoOriginateLanguageException 0x80040154, L"", 0000000000000000: stub

I dont know if this is reponsable for my problem.
Do you have an idea what I can do?

Thanks Rainer

This is a known bug. The only solution is to use iTunes version 12.4.3.

Boah !!!! Great !! 12.4.3 is running, but ... :

I always get this error-message starting itunes:
"The Software, which is used for the communication with ipods and mobile phones was not de-installed correctly. Do you want itunes to repair this for you? " I press "yes" and itunes echoes that it failed to repair (a message appairs).

In the meantime I de-installaed itunes 5 times using "wine uninstall" and de-installing everything with "apple". After this I erased every sub-dir with the name "Apple" in .wine-subdir using a file manager. But after installing the above itunes 12.4.3.again I always get the message above. Do you have a idea how to de-install itunes completely 100%?

Thanks a lot. You must know I need to control itunes with my mobile phone. Have a nice evening. Rainer

However .. I ignore the error message above.
I managed to control itunes with my android mobile phones, it runs without problem.
So the issue is solved for me.
