Asked by drew thomas

Archive: /tmp/iTunes64Setup.exe

  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.

          /tmp/iTunes64Setup.exe.zip, and cannot find /tmp/iTunes64Setup.exe.ZIP, period.

You cannot run .exe files in Ubuntu by default. Go to the Ubuntu Software Center, and type "PlayOnLinux." Install that package.
Now you can run many (but not all) .exe files with Ubuntu using something called the Wine Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer, and a program which makes it easier to use, PlayOnLinux.

Once you got all that installed, go to the Applications menu, then Games, then click on PlayOnLinux. A guide should pop up. Once that setup guide is done and you get to the main PlayOnLinux screen, you click on the green + button that says "Install." Now you either type in iTunes, click on the one you want to install, then say "Apply", or you can click on the "Install a .pol package or an unsupported application." (I would rather do the first way, if possible)

Can you help with this problem?
