I just checked my Windows error logs and Bonjour has caused a ton of errors. After reading about Bonjour and not needing the networking services it provides, I deleted it. Now when I open iTunes, an error message appears saying that there is a problem and that it has to close.
Other posts (1, 2) seem to imply that iTunes can run without Bonjour.
How can I get iTunes running on my Windows 7 machine without installing Bonjour?
