Mike’s way worked like a charm, installing the extracted MSI did the trick. Thanks!!

I got it to install as well, but my steps were a little different from Bo’s.

1. Uninstall Zune 2.5
2. Crack open the ZunePackage30.exe & extract the files
3. Run the zune-x64.msi file found in x64\Packages folder

So far so good…

Scratch that. The solution is very simple: http://channel8.msdn.com/Posts/Zune-Zune-and-more-Zune/

Hitting the same issue as you guys. Really annoying because most of my platform are Win2k8 x64.

Yup… I came to the same conclusion as Mike. I’m hoping they will actually release a 64-bit version of Zune 3.0 as a direct download.
