I get no updates for it, but http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ says Windows XP SP3, but its downloaded installer says no. I am confused!
Thank you in advance. 🙂

There does seem to have been an issue with the last 2-3 updates to iTunes, refusing to install on systems that meet the documented requirements. I'm not aware of a resolution to this, though I'm surprised that Apple continues to state support for XP given that its been unsupported by Microsoft for well over a year.

I wonder if Apple forgot to update its download's requirements.
Since there seems to be the same issue with Windows Vista, it may be the info on the website that's erroneous. Unfortunate for those still running legacy OSs, but not exactly surprising.
There's definitely something odd with the info on Apple's download pages:
Hopefully there will be an update shortly that will at least clarify which Windows editions are actually required for iTunes 12.2.
The http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ page has been updated, at least for the 32-bit installer:
so it looks like XP and Vista users may not be able to update to 12.2.

Ha, maybe someone read my thread about it. 😉
Now, my iTunes is telling me that there is an updated iTunes. Nothing happens when I told it download it. 😝
There seem to be several issues with the update process - including the situation that XP and Vista users may be alerted to a new update (12.2) that will not install on their systems. If you're running either of these legacy OSs, and are already using iTunes 12.1.2, you might as well turn off update notifications (Edit > Preferences > Advanced). It seems highly unlikely that there will be any iTunes version later than 12.1.2 that is compatible with XP or Vista.
iTunes v12.2 in Windows XP SP3?
