New iPhone Configuration Utility coming for Lion?

After I installed Lion, I attempted to installed iPhoneConfigurationUtility 3.3 and got an message telling me to quit iTunes, which was not runnng. Rebooted, same results. Thoughts?

There is a much simpler solution to the problem than manually extracting the PKG file.


The problem is, that the installer checks for a running iTunes before it proceeds. This is done with the following command:


/bin/ps -e | /usr/bin/grep -v grep | /usr/bin/grep "/Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes"


Unfortunately, this also matches to the iTunes Helper process which is running in background. So, to be able to install the iPhone configuration Utility on OS X Lion, one simply has to quit the iTunes Helper process using Activity Monitor.
