The last version of iTunes to support Windows XP SP3 and Windows Vista is 12.1.2.27.

See the older versions section of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for direct links.

iTunes 12.2 requires Windows 7 or later. iTunes 12.1.2 is the last version to work with Windows Vista* - direct links to the installers as follows:

iTunes 12.1.2.27 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (64-bit) - iTunes6464Setup.exe
iTunes 12.1.2.27 (64-bit "for older video cards") - itunes64setup.exe

The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer - should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version, but also may resolve issues with playback, QuickTime compatibility, and problems with some third-party applications (including Outlook).

* acknowledging that all versions of iTunes since 11.1.5 have had a problem with Data Execution Prevention errors in Vista.
