cannot install iTunes

Hell All

I am newbie in WINE. Running openSUSE 10.3
I used winecfg and and changed the windows version to windows vista,
checked the ALSA and unchecked the OSS on the audio tab, and clicked autodetect on the drivers tab.

then
wine iTunesSetup.exe - which I got from apple
and I got the answer that ran like : ..." the installer requires that you run Windows xp or Vista " or something of the like.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

Doesn't seem to install here either, fails when running as XP.
Apparently needs a patch:

You'd have to compile Wine with that patch.
http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages may help.
