In order to install iTunes in a way that it can't put any hooks or helper processes into the system, there are a few steps that must be taken. The first step is to download the latest version of iTunes from the Apple website. Once the download is complete, the next step is to extract the contents of the downloaded file. This can be done using a variety of tools, such as 7-zip or WinRAR. After the file has been extracted, the next step is to open the iTunes Setup.exe file.

When the installation window appears, the next step is to click the “Customize” button. This will open up a new window where the user can specify the settings for the installation. Under the “Installation Options” tab, the user should select the “Do not install any helper processes or hooks into the system” option. This will ensure that no hooks or helper processes are installed with iTunes.

Once the settings have been configured, the next step is to click on the “Continue” button. This will start the installation process. Once the installation is complete, a new window will appear informing the user that iTunes has been successfully installed.

In order to prevent iTunes from installing any hooks or helper processes into the system, the user should also configure the application settings. To do this, the user should open the iTunes preferences and navigate to the “Advanced” tab. Under the “Advanced” tab, the user should select the “Do not install any helper processes or hooks into the system” option. This will ensure that iTunes does not install any hooks or helper processes into the system.

It is also important to ensure that iTunes is not allowed to run at startup. To do this, the user should open the System Preferences and navigate to the “Startup Items” tab. Here, the user should select the iTunes application and click the “Remove” button. This will ensure that iTunes is not allowed to start up with the system.

Finally, it is important to ensure that iTunes is kept up-to-date. To do this, the user should open the iTunes application and select the “Help” menu. In the Help menu, the user should select “Check for Updates”. This will ensure that the latest version of iTunes is installed which will help to prevent any security vulnerabilities.

By following these steps, an IT admin can ensure that iTunes is installed in such a way that it can't put any hooks or helper processes into the system. This will help to maintain the security of the system and ensure that iTunes is not allowed to run at startup. Additionally, it will ensure that iTunes is kept up-to-date which will help to prevent any security vulnerabilities.
