--- Comment #7 from Albert Flügel af@muc.de --- The download link was the webpage of the chip magazine http://www.chip.de/downloads/iTunes-32-Bit_13011021.html Current version 12.3.1, MD5: 839f353da85d5bbbb437369a769947b7 No other library override than gdiplus.
As far as i can say today: iTunes did not stop working with a version update of wine, but with some data changing in some file it uses outside of ~/.wine . On a different machine here around with almost the same setup, same wine version, but different home directory contents iTunes still works. This is why i would like to find out what files it reads. An strace is producing so many opens, that it's hard just to find a reasonable line where to start checking.
However i'll give it a try with wine 1.7.39 and 40 to compare.
